NEW TUESDAY: This week sees the release of THE MYRIAD CARNIVAL, edited by Matthew Bright. Described as 'strange, eerie and poignant' by Publishers Weekly, The Myriad Carnival collects together seventeen queer and weird stories themed on the mysterious Myriad Carnival, featuring stories from Hal Duncan, Paul Magrs, Evey Brett, B.R. Sanders, Raymond Luczak and many others. CLICK HERE TO BUY. Bear Bones Books returns with a new erotica title: The Biggest Lover, a collection of steamy tales for big-boned chubs and bears, and their admirers. The first anthology of its kind, it features twenty-one stories from a diverse range of writers. It has taken too long for an erotica anthology to feature such men. As Girth & Mirth founding father Reed Wilgoren stated, “Just as people are coming out every day—men and women realizing their sexuality—new Bears and new Chubbies and new chasers are also evolving in the world. There have to be people waiting to embrace them and show them the way, much as who helped me to become what I am and who I am today.” It is our hope that readers who felt denied of attention and affection will read these stories and realize that love has no weight limit, no threshold, and neither should self-esteem. Read an excerpt from 'The Story Next Door' by Karl Taggart The movers have quieted and I go back to my solitary celebration. “I did it,” I tell Frank. I don’t believe in heaven or the afterlife, yet I talk to Frank all the time. A splash below is so big I scoot my chair closer to the deck’s right edge to see what’s going on. I’m secure behind potted shrubs that stand a good four feet high. Frank planted them for privacy though I argued nobody could see up the hill. Now well positioned, I can peer through the greenery while going unnoticed. What I see is a man bobbing in the pool while another stands at the edge, laughing and wiping the spray off himself. The swimmer appears to be quite large, but maybe it’s the water magnifying him. His friend is thin, blond haired, and well built. He wears cutoff jeans and an orange T. I can’t hear what they’re saying. I note the swimmer has amber hair and a well-trimmed beard. He paddles over to the steps to climb out, which gives me the whole of him. Huge, is my first thought, but this is lost to the fact that he’s stark naked. More of that amber hair is spread across his chest and down onto an ample belly. Of course I’m eager for what’s lower but am disappointed as his big stomach blocks my view. I do manage a glimpse of his cockhead which seems impressive simply for escaping the bulk above Sipping wine, I enjoy the scene below, which now turns playful. The big guy is attempting to undress the blond and I get a good rear view as the friendly tussle takes place. The big man’s butt cheeks are huge and I can’t help but think of getting in between them to probe for the center. I envision a finger lost in flesh and when I push it into him, my hand is consumed.

Read an excerpt from 'The Nip Man' by Daniel M. Jaffe: Dirk wanted two things from life: nipples and love, preferably together. He didn’t find his own nips—flat little discs—particularly interesting. No, he thought them too small to be designated discs…diskettes, maybe. Flat pale little diskettes that he was content to ignore. But the notion of tormenting another man’s full fleshy nips…now that was exciting. But, Dirk wasn’t interested merely in the physical side of nip abuse. For Dirk, sharing in the exquisite tightrope walk between nip agony and ecstasy could be a source of soulful sharing, an evocation of fulfillment for both nipper and nippee. A physical experience of bonding, a communion on which to build emotional connection. His obsession with men’s nipples began back in high school in his hometown of Blixton, California, where he lived to this day, three hours from the nearest real city. In the high school gym shower room, Dirk stole glances of as many nips as he could. Had he been caught copping looks at dicks and asses, he might have been beaten up or expelled. But since he was simply glancing at other guys’ chests, an innocent enough pastime among boys comparing pre-manly muscles and hair sprouts, anyone who might have noticed didn’t bother him. After each visual nip orgy, in the privacy of his bedroom in Grandma’s house, he conjured up images of all the fat and fleshy boys he’d washed up with that day, imagined himself flicking and tweaking, pinching and tugging, fingernail pincering now one set of nips, now another, now two sets at once…or, when feeling especially energetic, three at once (left hand, right hand, teeth).

Read an excerpt from 'Heavy Set' by Shane Allison: I leaned over and licked the globule of ketchup from the corners of his mouth. It then turned into a kiss. I could taste the salt from the fries on his lips. My robe fell open, exposing my underwear. I pulled Kenny’s T-shirt up over his belly, chest, and head. I started to suck on his right nipple while I fondled the left one. I knew how hot this drove him, that my touch sent shocks of arousal directly to his dick. Kenny was wearing baggy cut-off shorts that slid easily off his ass. He was hard beneath the tent of his black boxer-briefs. I peeled off my robe. Kenny and I were both heavyset guys, so we never felt insecure about being naked in each other’s presence. I love Kenny’s body. I kissed every chubby part of him like I was marking my territory. I tongued his belly button, ran my fingers along love handles of supple sugar-brown skin. His belly felt warm against my lips. I hooked my fingers behind the waistband of his underwear, easing them down past thighs, knees and feet. I gently took his balls into my mouth, sucking tender scrotum skin. I licked along the shaft of his dick. A pearl of pre-cum formed at the piss-slit tip. I knew he would have been content with a blowjob, but he would have come before things had even gotten started. Up my butt was where I wanted Kenny’s dick. “Which room this time?” I asked. “Yours. I was kind of freaked out doing it in your parents’ bed last time.” We walked buck-naked through the house toward my room. I switched on the ceiling fan light. We climbed on top of the bed and took up where we left off, hands groping, fingers kissing brown skin. Kenny’s dick was warm against my thigh. I couldn’t wait to get it up my ass. I looked at him and asked, “Can I? Can I do it?” The Biggest Lover is out now from Lethe Press/Bear Bones Books. Click here to buy.

Read an excerpt from 'Indivisible' by Dylan Thomas Good: Drawing back neatly, the tailor pressed his lips to the fat shaft, feeling the pulse of his majesty’s heart beat along the thickened urethra. His fingers massaged the damp sac, moving up the root, fondling indiscriminately the sides of the shaft and then, blissfully, up to the head. A small, crystal-clear rivulet of ardor oozed up and out, dripping to the floor, where it landed between the prince’s feet. This was when the full, white beard attacked, its open mouth sliding over the great, brown shaft and sucking deeply from it. Both men squirmed and relished in the lust wrapping tightly around them as the tailor took it all, slowly rocking back and forth as his tongue danced and played on the underside of the stony cock. Salty juices continued to tease his taste buds as he dug the head deeper into his throat in order to better taste them. At last, the slim panes of the tailor’s spectacles nestled gently against the prince’s fluffy pubic hair for a grateful moment, wisely withdrawing mere seconds before the grunting youth could orgasm. Getting to his feet was something the old man was still very proficient at, although he tried to deny himself the knowledge of it taking longer than it had in previous years. The prince was more than happy to aid him; it wasn’t just because they got to have their fingers laced romantically together, but mostly because it quenched the fledgling king’s thirst to serve another as he’d always been served.

Read an excerpt from 'Tag Team' by Jerry Faulkner I locked up in collar and elbow with him, gently pushed his arm up and out of the way, then slid my hand down across his torso. I had never touched a big guy like this before. I’d never felt the belly. Hugo was wearing a T-shirt, but I desperately wished he wasn’t. I wanted to see the round form, touch his soft skin, feel its heft when I lifted the overhang from his body. And then I suddenly had to will my erection to wilt down before it got me in trouble. Going down to grab his thigh didn’t help. Soft, but firm, his legs reminded me of how I felt when I saw Big Slamma for the first time. They were thick and sturdy just like Slamma’s, only Hugo’s were a lighter shade of brown, however still appealing. His shorts slid up a little so I was grabbing the soft skin of his inner thigh. I tried to keep my head in the game but it didn’t help that he shuddered a little when my hand went between his legs. I focused. “One…two…three!” I lifted with Hugo jumping into my lift. Turning and bringing him down on his back, he took the landing well. I had just body slammed a 400-pound man, and my head spun with pride. Hugo lay on his back smiling at me. “That really worked. You’re strong! I don’t think I’ve ever been picked up like that. I felt like I was flying.” The Biggest Lover is out now from Lethe Press/Bear Bones Books. Click here to buy.

Read an excerpt from 'Coming In The Night' by Skye Eagleday “Hello, handsome,” I heard inside my head. Ghostly hands slid softly across my shoulders and I thought about them playing with my nipples and so they did. I sped up my attention to Mr. Happy who was very pleased about everything. I reached up with my free hand and gave the proper pressure to my nipples—first the right and then the left. My nipples were always connected to sex central as far as my body was concerned. I was the chubby slightly sissy kid who was punched around in school. Whenever we had an assembly a guy in my homeroom class would sit behind me and flick my ears. I was the only one in school who was awarded three separate letters—in art, chess, and drama. I told my mom I was sick so I wouldn’t have to go to the awards ceremony so I wouldn’t have my ears flicked—or worse. Mr. Happy started to withdraw, just as I had. A year ago I saw the Flicker. He was in a truck owned by his father. Apparently he had gone into the family business of house painting. I’m glad he didn’t go into education. I cursed myself for ruining the mood. Mr. Happy was sulking. I pulled my sweatpants back up and went out to the patio and to light the candles. The Biggest Lover is out now from Lethe Press/Bear Bones Books. Click here to buy.

Read an excerpt from 'Moby Dick' by William Holden: My first sighting of this magnificent animal came at the most inopportune time. My crew and I had recently docked at Sag Harbor, New York, after a successful six-month fishing expedition in the Atlantic. My men were weary, and had many wants that could not be met while out at sea. Due to our earnings with such a lengthy time at sea, we were able to spend four nights at port. After docking and dividing the wages by rank, my men took off in search of stationary quarters—a preferred sleeping arrangement than the small rocking beds that we bear while out at sea. It was the end of our fourth day in Sag Harbor when my life took the unexpected course that begins my tale. My men, drunk on rum and sex, and broke from good food and even better whores, were boarding Syren and adjusting to the fact that we would be at sea for another extended stay. As tradition warrants, I stood starboard as the crew worked frantically to hoist the sails and maneuver the masts of my beautiful Syren. We were not more than fifty yards outside the Sag Harbor Bay when my eyes fell upon a creature so wild, so magnificent that it cared not who or what was watching it. I immediately instructed my crew to lower the sails, so as to slow my lady’s progress and to, therefore, give me more time to study this imposing creature. His movements were monstrous, strong, and fierce. He stood at the bow of a ship that we had passed not more than five minutes before. The ship that appeared dormant had suddenly been brought to life with the stride of the beast. He stretched his head upward as if reaching for the stars, and then to my utter delight and solitary pleadings, he removed his blouse. I let out an audible gasp at the sight of his chest. His immense, supple breasts were pale against the moon’s touch. The voluminous heft caused them to fall over his tight fitting stay. His nipples were large brown spheres against the bleached tone of his skin. His tits, which stood erect in the chill of the night’s air, begged to be touched, nibbled, or even bitten. I trembled with anticipation as I watched the great beast remove his breeches. Then to my utter surprise, he released the bindings of his stay. My legs, which have withstood many rough nights at sea, suddenly became weak as if they might give out at any moment. I was delirious with need and overexcitement as my eyes feasted on the girth and magnitude of the bounty set loose before me. The Biggest Lover is out now from Lethe Press/Bear Bones Books.

An excerpt from 'A Slice of Pi' by 'Nathan Burgoine: “Closing time.” I blinked, feeling topology equations flit around in my head. Bill was standing over me, a small smile on his face. His eyes struck me again—so dark. His short beard had flecks of red in it. I wondered if he’d taste like cinnamon. Then it hit me what he’d said. “Oh!” I checked the clock behind the diner’s counter. It was Tuesday, and I’d been here since midnight. It was just past four. “Sorry! Let me get my shit together. I didn’t realize what time it was.” I started grabbing my mess of papers. “’Sokay,” he said, in his lovely drawl. “I’ll clean up around you first. I already got the grill done.” I’d been really lost in my work. “I get sort of…focused.” “I noticed,” he said. I gathered my stuff, trying not to stare too obviously. He’d taken the apron off. The width of his chest was all the more obvious. By the time I got myself organized, he was almost ready to go. He had his back to me, and I got to the front door. I took a deep breath. “Listen,” I said, and he turned. His eyes did their usual slap-across-my-brain and I faltered. He raised one eyebrow.
