Foreplay: A Teeny-Tiny Titillating Tease

A Micro-Chapbook by Awfully Hilarious

Foreplay is a tiny, poetic, sensual micro-chapbook created as a tease, a soft opening, and a slow spark that aligns and connects to our full anthology Awfully Hilarious: Pillow Talk.

It’s small.

It’s intimate.

It’s intentional.

This is like a sampling platter:

It’s a taste.

A touch.

A spark.

The whispered “pssst…” before the conversation.

Made up mostly of poetry, with a few scintillating, provocative short stories, Foreplay exists to invite curiosity, not satisfy it. It’s designed to open the body, the imagination, and the emotional field—then gently point you back towards your own experiences.

This is not just a chapbook, but an experience:

A tiny format meant to be read in one sitting

A poetic tease, not a full narrative arc

A sensory sampler of our Awfully Hilarious offerings

A soft invitation into intimacy, vulnerability, and connection

A gateway to the Pillow Talk anthology and audiobook

Think of it as:

The knock before the door opens

The spark before the fire

An amuse-bouche, if you will…

Designed as a companion + teaser for the Awfully Hilarious: Pillow Talk audiobook and anthology, Foreplay supports discovery, immersion, and layered storytelling across formats—print, digital, and audio.

This is sex-positive, trauma-informed, feminist, body-honouring storytelling in miniature form. This is intimacy as an invitation, desire as dialogue.

Come on in. We cannot wait to explore together…
