If The Spirit Moves You:
Ghostly Gay Erotica

by Dale Chase

They say 'Love never dies'... and neither does the passion between men when written by erotic storyteller Dale Chase. If the Spirit Moves You offers readers a collection of stories featuring spirits who cannot deny their attraction to mortals; these ghosts seek out warm flesh, not to harm but to hold. And seduce.

From a screenwriter's ethereal muse to an amorous haunt in a library, good spirits promise that anything that can go bump in the night will end with a satisfied moan.

Spring of the Stag God

by J.C. Herneson

Prepare your loins for tales of erotic adventure in the world of Khernia, in this first release of the Stag God Chronicles. "A Stag God is Born" - A sexual prisoner of his cruel uncle, young Ashlan befriends the man's prisoner, Imbru once a feared warrior of the Split Hoof orc tribe, called The Ravager of Men by by the humans, because he spent his seed only on men. Imbru knows the truth behind Ashlan's strange dreams of running through fields with an antlered brow. Ashlan doesn't understand the dreams or know he is about to inherit a divine mantle he never wanted--the legacy of the great antlered Stag God of the wild places. "The Stag & The Bear" - The young god suffering the pains of new divinity goes seeking a mentor, the great Bear God of the stormy mountain tops. Along the way, an orc hunter is forced to his knees to become Ashlan's new discipline. But approaching an old god is treacherous and his were-bear minions must be confronted and defeated before the Bear God's den is reached. "The Stag God's Disciple" - Habra of the Tines, a young orc, goes among humans to preach the worship of Ashlan. But the Patriachs of the human lands do not want to relinquish their power and bind, rape and imprison Habra. But in the dungeons new friends are waiting to be found as the faith in the Lord of the Seven Tines spreads like passion through a man's nethers.

Love Sucks:
New York Stories of Love, Hate and Anonymous Sex
By Ken Shakin

A collection of unforgettable vignettes from Sleaze City, New York.
Ken Shakin's reportage walks the thin line between journalism and fiction. In a free tradition of modern gay writing, Shakin follows John Rechy, Renaud Camus, John Preston and Boyd McDonald in using the perspective of anonymous sex to probe the uncomfortable facts of social relations, and not just gay ones, in the anonymous world of the big city. From "The Anonymous Dog" to "Confessions of a Smoocher", "Man and His Toys" to "The Smelliest Man Alive", Shakin's stories offer a guided tour to Sleaze City, calculated to send a shiver down even the most desensitised spines. Read this book at your own risk!

Hard Road

Hard Road, Easy Riding

Lesbian Biker Stories
Edited by Sacchi Green & Rekelle Valencia

Take a ride—on the wild side.

Sex should be  intense, joyful, and liberating—exactly as written in these edgy and uninhibited stories. While there are many anthologies of lesbian erotica available, none so far have focused on the interaction between the lifestyles and sexual adventures of lesbian bikers. What’s sexier than a hot woman, clad in form-fitting leather, fiercely in control of the Iron Horse between her legs?
