Folly – SMUT The Folly Eros Edition

Smut made the New Zealander Bestseller list for Fiction in September 2026, after already selling out two weeks before launch day. 

When a high-street chain pulled Folly Issue 003 from forty-seven stores over the frankness of female desire and a stray profanity, they gave us an idea.

If the gatekeepers think women's desire is offensive, fine. We'll give it its own imprint.

Smut is the first title from Folly — a collection of erotica that takes the part of human experience publishing is most squeamish about and puts it on good paper. Desire as it's actually lived: raw, filthy, funny, tender, and frequently un-PC. Real stories, from real people, made beautifully.

Smut is an erotic book detailing desire, power and tenderness, from the sacred to the profane — written by people from around the world. Curated alongside international black and white photography, Smut provides a classy, fun and cheeky look into modern courtship, fetish and bedroom antics.

Limited collectors edition in print.

Illustrated by art by local and international photographers.
