The Oyster Volume III & IV »

Anonymous Victorian writer.

Blue Moon Books proudly reissues the classic Victorian erotica series that has sold collectively over one-half million copies.

"The Oyster" was a journal published in Victorian England that celebrated, rather than vilified, the pleasures of the flesh. Displaying a totally uninhibited and delightfully erotic style, it had to be written anonymously and privately distributed. The journal was largely forgotten until an obscure edition was rediscovered in the 1980s—the result was a literary sensation.

Here, we continue our relaunch of the series, with volumes three and four. The style is fun and funny, and with descriptions so frank they still have the power to shock.
