Publisher's Summary:
The corset. Rarely has any garment held such allure, such mystery, so attraction for men and women alike. From a simple foundation garment to a fashion statement all its own, the corset has held the imagination for centuries.
This collection of stories from some of the brightest fantasy writers in the world run the gamut from steampunk to horror, from steamy romance to weird western, from Victorian thriller to contemporary bondage. But they all feature one thing in common - the corset. From vampire comedy to steampunk action to BDSM, Cinched is certain to free your mind. What else will follow?

A Little Something Extra by Gail Z Martin and Larry N Martin
Hartness continues to improves as a editor of anthologies. The quality of this collection is solid. The stories vary from historic pieces to contemporary, from horror to superhero. An excellent mix sure to satisfy any reader of genre fiction. The theme is corsets and, as the title indicates, the contributing writers had "Imagination Unbound" starting from this common theme.
Especially good in my opinion are:
Snake Bite - Ms. Massey does paranormal western stories well. Beware the woman left for dead.
The Circus - The main character of this story is creepy cool.
Basque of the Red Death - Revenge may be needed and purpose may be given. But the lingering impact of these actions ...
The Shadow Fatale - Love superhero prose. Think Spiderman's Venom as half-corset and half-human handler.
And I think the best was
Bone of my bone, Flesh of my flesh - The atmosphere in this historic piece is amazing.
strong women, with or without the sinister corset
Cinched: Imagination Unbound came to my attention because it contained a short story by John G. Harness, author of the Quincy Harker series that I love. A corset appears in all the stories. In some it is a major feature and in others the corset is a sinister oppressive feature lurking just at the peripheral of the reader's eye.
The book contains the following stories:
The Basque of Red Death by Eden Royce
Cazadora by Andrea Judy
Snake Bite by Misty Massey
Escape by Kimberly Richardson
The Circus by Emily Lavin Leverett
Homecoming by Dave Harlequin
The Blue Lights by MB Weston
A Gift for Death by RD Stevens
High Fashion Hell by John G. Hartness
Tighten the Laces by Herika Raymer
The Shadow Fatale by Nico Serene
Bone of My Bone, Flesh of My Flesh by Sarah Joy Adams
Lagniappe by Gail Z. Martin & Larry N. Martin
âI loved the women in this collection. They were all strong women, with or without the sinister corset.
