The winner of two Lambda Literary Awards (fiction and science fiction) The Gilda Stories is a very lesbian American odyssey. Escaping from slavery in the 1850s Gilda's longing for kinship and community grows over two hundred years. Her induction into a family of benevolent vampyres takes her on an adventurous and dangerous journey full of loud laughter and subtle terror.

Un’autrice e due autori fra i più acclamati del panorama indonesiano di oggi firmano questa immersione nell’universo dell’horror, in omaggio allo scrittore di culto degli anni Settanta e Ottanta Abdullah Harahap. Salimah, celebre danzatrice di dangdut, diventa bersaglio del desiderio maschile e dell’ipocrisia religiosa, fino a quando non ordisce una vendetta che sconvolgerà per sempre il villaggio. In un altro racconto, Nancy, proprietaria di un salone di bellezza, viene assassinata brutalmente, ma il suo fantasma tornerà a perseguitare i carnefici in un crescendo di orrore. E ancora, Iskandar entra in possesso del frammento di una maschera antica, scoprendone i poteri oscuri che lo trascinano in un vortice di delirio, rituali cannibalistici e culti demoniaci. In questi racconti, lo spazio domestico si trasforma in trappola, la modernità urbana appare come una promessa infranta, e il desiderio – sessuale, sociale, politico – si esaudisce solo nell’aldilà o attraverso un patto con il demoniaco. Tra citazioni pulp e riflessioni post-coloniali, Gli schiavi di Satana è un viaggio perturbante e raffinato nella cultura indonesiana, tra realismo magico e decadenza.

Everything you wanted from a sexy gay werewolf but were afraid to read. Max fails at magic, relationships, and life. So he works as a sumage, cleaning up other mages’ messes. The job sucks and he’s in no mood to cope with redneck biker werewolves. Unfortunately, there’s something irresistible about the sexy muscled Beta visiting his office for processing. Bryan is gay but he’s not out. There’s a good chance Max might be reason enough to leave the closet, if he can only get the man to go on a date. Everyone knows werewolves hate mages, but Bryan is determined to prove everyone wrong, even the mage in question. NYT bestseller Gail Carriger, writing as G. L. Carriger, presents an offbeat gay romance in which a sexy werewolf with a white knight complex meets a bad boy mage with an attitude problem. Sparks (and other things) fly. The San Andreas Shifter books stand alone and do not have to be read in any particular order. Delicate Sensibilities? This story contains M/M sexitimes and horrible puns. If you get offended easily, then you probably will. The San Andreas Shifter stories include blue language, dirty deeds, and outright admiration for the San Francisco Bay Area. Not for the faint of heart/mouth/tongue…

Amy is still riding the tailwinds of her early success, but her habit of burning bridges is finally catching up to her. And now Bev is pregnant. As Bev and Amy are dragged, kicking and screaming, into real adulthood, they have to face the possibility that growing up might mean growing apart.
