Motel Fetish - Reviews
Love it, Loving it, Lusting for more - Chas - great work - I applaud your eye for detail and restraint. Motel Fetish is erotica with a unique and seasoned vision showing adoration for women. I truly feel like I am going to "a hideaway for dreams and desire" like the cover suggests. Thanks again Taschen for bringing another talented erotic photographer to the masses.David LockardUnited States |

Here is my full review of the fantastic, "Motel Fetish."
It may not be politically correct to admit to looking at half-naked women in their underwear, but Chas Ray Krider's beautiful photographs defy you to look away in this incredibly rich book from the boldest publisher around, Taschen. I became aware of Chas Ray Krider in a magazine a couple years ago and later found my way to his website, www.motelfetish.com. Chas Ray Krider's world is almost like a film noir dream, where voyeurs watch through pinholes in the walls of seedy motel rooms. Garters and hose, cigarettes and hard liquor, and page after page of the most interesting and exotic women you could imagine posed and slinking through motel rooms in a place where time stands still. Taschen really outdid themselves on this book, and it was worth the wait! It is no slim volume at 279 pages. If you like your coffee tables like mine, full of artsy erotic books, then you should do yourself a favor and pick this book up while you can. Strangely, a recent trip to NYC puzzled me when I couldn't find "Motel Fetish" at any of my favorite, more liberal, bookstores. Obtaining a copy forced me to special order it from a local Barnes & Noble which doesn't carry any Taschen books. Many fans of tasteful erotica and lounge culture might not know what a gorgeous book they are missing out on. Thanks to the internet, any sophisticated adult can have a copy. I flip threw my copy so often, I may have to order another one. The images, atmosphere and tone sucks you into the pages and makes you a part of Chas's delicious dream of a sinful world that seems more innocent than the one we're living in. "Motel Fetish" is such a wonderful treat in this increasingly conservative period. My sincerest thanks to the gifted and brilliant talent of Chas Ray Krider, the women who brought his fantasies to life, and to Taschen, a company that never stops looking for innovative material for us culture starved collectors. Every time I put "Motel Fetish" back on the shelf, I hope Chas Ray Krider is somewhere working on volume 2. Folks, buy this book if you know what's good for you.

"Auf 280 Seiten raubt uns Krider den Atem .... Es herrscht Spannung sowohl in erotischer als auch situativer Hinsicht. Eine Stimmung wie in einem guten Film Noir. Nur lasziver."GQ, MünchenGermany |

"Be excited - it's a weird but great book about ladies in undies.. by erotic snapper Chas Ray Krider. It features 160 images of motel rooms, which just happen to contain rather tasty women who - oh, the complacency - appear to have misplaced most of their clothes."FHM, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Chas Ray Krider`s Motel Fetish finally sees the master of noir erotism honoured in print... So how does the man himself feel about his new Taschen imprint? "Taschen is the art vampire," he enthuses. "He`s going to bite me on the neck and my art is going to have immortality." We presume Benedikt can take that as a compliment."i-D Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Back in issue one of JACK, we ran eight pages of Chas Ray`s erotic noir photographs and at the end of this month the book is out. Lifting the lid on one of the sexiest sides of fetish, there`s a whole world of big pants, nylons, lampshades, girdles, guns, cool furniture and the kind of brassieres that can be fought withover 160 glossy pages. The excellent value Motel Fetish is on sale in November."JACK, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Behind the doors of 'Motel Fetish' are as many stories as there are guests who have ever spent the night...(Krider's) women glow, whether slouching in a chair or balancing on its arms in dangerous heels."Columbus AliveUnited States |

From my introduction to CRK in NERVE magazine to visiting his website and offering my opinion of his art (to which he replied) then to the, as yet, unpurchased release from Taschen, my visual desires have seldom had to leave the rooms he allows witness.
His imagination gives the viewer lock and key to the sort of getaway where what you are getting away from is not as important as what you are about to get into. Bravo! Leon BrassCanada |
