Block Francesca Li. rancesca Lia Block Mer, from Nymph She rises up from the water, the drops slicking her breasts, beading tremulous at her nipples.

Block Francesca Li. The curve of her hips sheathed tight in something sheer and silver, glimmering beneath the narrow swoon of her waist. She tosses her head and smiles at him; her mouth is like the shadowy place nestled under the fabric that he knows he can never reach. She rises up from the water, the drops slicking her breasts, beading tremulous at her nipples.

by Francesca Lia Block and Jaeda DeWalt.

The author of the beloved Weetzie Bat books and other popular YA titles offers a slim collection of adult stories, erotica for grown-up goth maidens and sexpots who like their tales of passion infused with witchy magic. These nine interconnected tales celebrate carnal delights and the transformative power of love, with occasional lapses into syrupy repetition, but they also peek compassionately into romances laced with themes of grief, heartbreak and renewal.

Francesca Lia Block (born December 3, 1962) is an American writer of adult and young-adult literature: fiction, short stories, screenplays and poetry.

Francesca Lia Block's edgy tales of the Los Angeles dreamscape that is 'Shangri-L. The books description says that Nymph by Francesca Lia Block is anything but conventional. I feel that this is an understatement

Francesca Lia Block's edgy tales of the Los Angeles dreamscape that is 'Shangri-L. have thrilled millions of readers and literary critics alike. I feel that this is an understatement. Block is known for her lyrical writing set in a world that is part Los Angeles, CA and partly a fantastical world of fairies, centaurs and mermaids.

Bestselling, award winning author of DANGEROUS ANGELS: THE WEETZIE BAT BOOKS, THE ELEMENTALS and many more.

Francesca Lia Block, known for her writing in the young adult genre, has created Nymph, a lush collection of erotic short stories for adults. Using the same fairytale ideals as her previous novels and borrowing from Ovid's Metamorphoses, Block uses transformation, myth and magic to intertwine each tale. Well, Nymph (a handsomely packaged little hardcover collection), by Francesca Lia Block, & Jaeda DeWalt (Illustrator) is a collection of nine tales of erotic fantasy, Mer: Spirit: Milk: Milagro: Nymph: Goddess: Plum: Fox: Change.

I picked up Block's first adult book out of curiosity to see how she'd handle the form. I enjoy her lyricism and her quirkiness in her YA fiction. I found this to be of a piece with her larger library. In fact, if you spiced up her YA novels with some more explicit vocabulary, you could probably neatly drop a few segments of them in here without anyone being the wiser. Block is not inexperienced in writing about sex. The only difference here is the quantity and the language.

These stories are interesting little character sketches--and creating interesting little characters is what Block does best. They're not particularly erotic, in my opinion, primarily because the main characters are--in typical Block form--pretty darned sad. Explicit sex aside, they're really more about romance, about loneliness and the need to connect, than they are about sensuality and sex. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Block does her schtick very well, and while it's more challenging for her to work her magic in the short short format she's set herself here, she manages to pull it off very cleverly, in part through the interlocking story schematic, which does allow her to squeeze a little extra character development into these tiny spaces. Some of the stories are better than others as some of the characters are better than others, but the collection as a whole makes a good entry in the Block library. The adult Block library. Personally, though, I hope this is the last of this kind of thing Block feels the need to write. Emotionally, there's nothing here that you can't get in her YA fiction, and her alienated characters I think have something so important to share with many of her young readers that it would be a shame to deprive them of it for the sake of a little explicit language and more graphically detailed sex.

I bought this book online because for years it was out of print or most stores didnt have it. When I got it I was really let down by how small the book was....literally a little bigger then a deck of cards and not as thick!!! I think if Block had gone farther into the characters this long awaited let-down would have been better. But the way its written it makes one feel as though she had a beautiful thought in her head and tried to write it while day-dreaming...thus only part of a short story stands out. How can one do PART of a short story??! I love the way Block writes and Ive never been disappointed in her other books. I highly recommend the weetzie bat series.

Francesca Lia Block has been my favorite author since I read her first story- Weetzie Bat. Since then, I have felt a connection to her writing whenever I read it; it pulls me in and makes me feel a part of it. I collect as many of her books a I can, again, because she is my favorite author. There is fantasy, action, sexuality, romance, mystery, and surprises around every corner in every book. I recommend not just "Nymph," but all the FLB books out there!

The book was shipped to me quickly and was in the condition stated. I wish the shipping would of been cheaper but overall the price was great. The books been a exciting read so far - definatly not for younger readers. The book gets a bit confusing in places but eventually easily comes together again. I would buy from this seller again.

This book is beautiful. I read it on the way to a wedding and was amazed by the poetry and the eroticism. It is a clever book with several interwining tales that do feature sex, but as several reviewers before me have mentioned, these tales focus on the healing power of sex. I think anyone (possibly even a teenager, though I would hope not yet) can understand certain situations in this book. No one other than Francesca could have written this book.

I love everything she writes, and this is no exception. These love stories are as diverse as humans are and every bit as beautiful.

Nymph is elegant, beautiful and romantically erotic. I Loved it! It is painted with a magic brush and its as though her characters are supernatural, they come to life. I highly recommend it!
Nymph is a book of erotic short stories, not a young adult book really. The stories are different than the usual "erotic" stories for two reasons: One, they are generally fantastical in some aspect; and two, they in very small ways interact with each other. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that once in a while the coarse terminology for sexual acts and body parts cuts into the beauty of her poetic writing. I am not generally a fan of sex stories, but Ms. Block made them not only tolerable but enjoyable. "Mer" is the story of a man who has a sexual and loving relationship with a woman who is apparently a mermaid. "Spirit" is a story of a woman whose antidepressants cause sexual disinterest, to the dismay of her lover . . . and how they eventually resolve the problem with the help of a "vacant," condemned house. "Milk" is about a nurse and her relationship with her patients. "Milagro" is about Plum, and what happens when she makes love to Santiago in order to let him find his true love. "Nymph" is about a girl (the best friend of Plum) named Sylvie, who feels like she will never find her true love, and what Plum does to help her do so. "Goddess" is about a club where the women are surgically changed to be exotic, and how Elvis finds his old lover in this place. "Plum" is about Plum again, and how she wants love for herself. "Fox" is about Elvis and his obsession with his girlfriend (before he found her again), and how Dr. Jacqui Fox helps him with fantasies. "Change" is about Carmelita and her jealousy, her writing, and herself.
