Summer 2022: Sizzling Top Tantalizing Tales

Stories to keep you HOT at night as we head through Autumn…

Laying on your bed, you think back over the long summer days. The images in your head are sizzling.

Now the days are cooler.

But luckily, the nights are longer.

Plenty of time to slip your hand between your thighs, chose a Tantalizing tale, and get lost within the scintillating story…

Pick one… any one… you won't regret it!

Sometimes, it doesn’t seem possible that Tantalizing Tales is not yet two years old — until Jan/Feb 2023.

We are select with the stories we accept and how often we publish, which has worked brilliantly for the magazine, readers, and the writers. The quality of the fiction is incredible.

Many of you will know that over the last year I took on the role of editor on Redemption Magazine too. Paul Mansfield delivers a weekly newsletter showcasing the Transgressive Thursday flash fiction and also the 1000 club! These are the stories he considers have gone viral on Medium in some way and have reached over 1000 views. Our other sister magazine, Micro Erotica, does this too.

Initially, the reason I hadn’t replicated the idea on Tantalizing Tales is I am well aware of how hard all the writers work on their stories, so want to praise everyone. However, I also believe competition is healthy, and recently noticed how on Redemption the 1000 club really encouraged some writers, such as Sonja Glucksberg, to work hard on their stories and their promotion to be part of the 1000 club. Now she is taking over that particular club… And that’s a positive thing.

So, I decided it was time for Tantalizing Tales to celebrate some of their own viral stories. I thought it would be nice to do this every quarter (life permitting) by way of a —

  • A Top Ten Viewed club

plus showcasing the

  • Previous quarter's top viewed stories, month by month.

Also, for each month, I will be including a wildcard choice of mine for you to check out. A story I feel should have been in the Top Three for that month.

Let’s do it…

(NB: All stats are correct at the time of writing).
