Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction (Class : Culture) by Miriam Michelle Robinson (University of Michigan Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction offers new arguments about the origins of detective fiction in the United States, tracing the lineage of the genre back to unexpected texts and uncovering how authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Rudolph Fisher made use of the genre's puzzle-elements to explore the shifting dynamics of race and labor in America. The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production.Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction.

Winner - Book Excellence Awards Finalist - American Book Festival Award Honorable Mention - New York Book Festival Awards Honorable Mention - Southern California Book Awards "A sexy, poignant gay love story about men from different sides of the wharf." -- KIRKUS. "The subtle intoxicant of The Light Reflected isn't beer or any other alcohol. It isn't even the flatly erotic and matter-of-factly described quick sex, either, but the charm of the telling, the enchanting straightforwardness of the teller, and yet too the shy, light flirt of suspense throughout. It is garnished with youthful tenderness and an almost tragic innocence that reminds us that we were all foolish and hopeless but also fiercely sensual and intrepid all at once." -- MICHAEL CARROLL, author of Stella Maris and Other Key West Stories. "An unflinching exploration of two flawed but well-meaning people -- one a dreamer who makes his dreams come true, and the other who lives on his fantasies, which don't often have a lot to do with reality. A really spectacular read." -- STEVE KLUGER, award-winning author of Almost Like Being in Love. What do you do when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams?

Framed: The New Woman Criminal in British Culture at the Fin de Siecle by Elizabeth Carolyn Miller (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 3 hours ago

Framed uses fin de siècle British crime narrative to pose a highly interesting question: why do female criminal characters tend to be alluring and appealing while fictional male criminals of the era are unsympathetic or even grotesque? In this elegantly argued study, Elizabeth Carolyn Miller addresses this question, examining popular literary and cinematic culture from roughly 1880 to 1914 to shed light on an otherwise overlooked social and cultural type: the conspicuously glamorous New Woman criminal. In so doing, she breaks with the many Foucauldian studies of crime to emphasize the genuinely subversive aspects of these popular female figures. Drawing on a rich body of archival material, Miller argues that the New Woman Criminal exploited iconic elements of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commodity culture, including cosmetics and clothing, to fashion an illicit identity that enabled her to subvert legal authority in both the public and the private spheres. "This is a truly extraordinary argument, one that will forever alter our view of turn-of-the-century literary culture, and Miller has demonstrated it with an enrapturing series of readings of fictional and filmic criminal figures. In the process, she has filled a gap between feminist studies of the New Woman of the 1890s and more gender-neutral studies of early twentieth-century literary and social change. Her book offers an extraordinarily important new way to think about the changing shape of political culture at the turn of the century." ---John Kucich, Professor of English, Rutgers University "Given the intellectual adventurousness of these chapters, the rich material that the author has brought to bear, and its combination of archival depth and disciplinary range, any reader of this remarkable book will be amply rewarded." ---Jonathan Freedman, Professor of English and American Culture, University of Michigan Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Assistant Professor of English at the University ...

"Rita was still euphoric and the act of Danielle licking her fingers opened up a new primal door for Rita that had remained closed for her whole life. She reached across to Danielle's skirt and pushed it out of the way and fumbled around until she slid her fingers between Danielle's skin and her under pants. Roughly, Rita shoved three fingers deep inside Danielle while reaching up and pinching her nipple with her free hand. Danielle threw her head back and moaned Rita's name. She was enjoying being somewhat submissive and allowing Rita to take charge. As she arched her back, Rita inserted a fourth finger and began massaging her clit with her thumb. Danielle gyrated her hips as though she was trying to get her to insert the whole of her hand." WARNING - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is suitable for 18+ only.

So glad you are still Alive: Let them know before it is too late... by Lakshman Maaheshwary (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Life is usually more eventful than some of the best works of fiction because while we may be able to concoct engaging narratives and pen them down adeptly, life throws at us unimaginable curveballs. Thus, I have come to become a huge fan of fictionalised reality. It has the luxury of fiction, built on the solid ground laid down by reality over a long duration. It delights, it scares, it imbibes hope, and it crushes when it deems appropriate; all the while staying in the realm of what can happen to any one of us because a version of it has already happened to one or more of us. This work falls under the same realm. It happened to many of us, maybe in bits and pieces. I have taken the liberty to string along many stories in a greater, broader narrative, so that you can relive not just bits of life but a substantial part of it. The characters, the narrator along with Natasha and Yuvi, however familiar they may seem, are fictional, a composite emotional sketch of myriad personalities, whose lives have inspired me to work on this story. Their passion and resilience give us all hope. The narrator, deeply in love with his college sweetheart Natasha plans for a perfect life for themselves. He has a close friend Yuvansh, with whom he shares his entire life. As life plays out, the plans start going haywire and while one distances away from the narrator, the other just falls out of his life. He continues to remake his life, till he is caught off guard once again, becoming prey to his narrowly constructed life view. To say that he learned his lesson will be a mistake, as the biggest life lesson is the fact that life keeps surprising you. All you can do is take the cues and keep yourself in sync with your own emotions. We look at life from a single perspective: our own. We make plans in life, expecting that everything will fall in place to suit our needs. It does, and at times, it doesn't. The interpretation of life events depends solely upon our narrative, and truth be ...

Favorite Son (The Provincetown Series Book 1) by Will Freshwater (179 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

"Freshwater's first foray will appeal to readers looking for romance rather than a literary exploration of sexuality." - KIRKUS "Will Freshwater's writing style thoroughly belies the fact that this is a first novel -- he tells his story with the measured hand of a seasoned pro. It's not easy coming up with a main character that you alternately want to root for AND to kick in the ass, but he pulls it off effortlessly. Oh, yeah -- in addition to making you want to run out and try something you've never had the guts to do before, Favorite Son is also so achingly romantic, you may be acutely embarrassed to find out what a cynic you're not." -- STEVE KLUGER, award-winning author of Almost Like Being in Love. "An engrossing read from start to finish. Favorite Son explores the concepts of duality, identity and self-discovery as John Wells leaves his political world in Washington DC for a quieter life in Provincetown. It's a familiar theme but with its sharp prose and multi-dimensional characters, this well-crafted story feels new all over again." -- CHRIS CORKUM, Lambda Literary Awards Finalist for XOXO Hayden. "Freshwater does what so few writers are able to do. Some have a great story and need a lesson in how to write. Some write beautifully but struggle with knowing how to craft a story. In Favorite Son, Will Freshwater does both." -- BRANDON WITT, author of Then the Stars Fall, The Imperfection of Swans, Son of Money. Born into a blue-collar family, John Wells beat the odds and came out a winner. As chief of staff to Patrick Donovan, a US senator and aspiring presidential candidate, he enjoys all the power and privilege of a DC insider. But while riding high on a wave of success, he's blindsided by a series of betrayals from the people he trusts the most. In the space of a single day, John's perfect life unexpectedly unravels when his career falters and his marriage implodes. Following a final, devastating blow, John assumes a new identity as "Peter" and flees to ...

My poor father had just died from cancer, and the dog filled the void. As the years passed, I kept writing poems as a coping mechanism. They became a lot more sparse during my University years.

Shunned but feared by classmates and faced with growing threats and uncertainties on the crime-infested streets of New York, it's hardcore punk music that finally absorbs and redirects the energies of these two menacing yet clever and industrious teens. Centered around the city's music mecca of CBGBs, they're indoctrinated into the unforgiving world of intense music and mosh pit violence and painstakingly form a band of their own.

My Best Friend, the Billionaire (The Billionaire Kings Book 1) by Serenity Woods (3,569 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Never fall in love with your best friend... I met Hal on the first day of high school. I also fell in love with Hal on the first day of high school. But although we were good friends from the start, I knew he'd never be mine. He's gorgeous, confident, sexy, and he's also incredibly rich. I'm scarred - physically and emotionally - quiet, and my family has always been poor. The two of us are poles apart. So I've trained myself not to think of him in that way. Not to think of kissing him, undressing him slowly. Of sliding beneath the bedclothes. Of having his hands on my skin. I don't think of it at all. I can't. Because Hal never stays with a girl for long, and if he were to have me, then leave me, my heart would break into a million pieces, and I'd never be able to put it together again. But then he tells me he's fallen in love with someone. I try to guess who, and he just smiles. "Izzy," he says patiently, "it's you." Oh no.

His Flashback by Whitney Wes (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

I was at the grocery store, picking up this zucchini and imagining a man that could have something like that. I fingered the long length in my hand. I felt somebody behind me. "That thing is not anything near reality. I think the average cock is 6 inches, but I don't consider myself average." His voice was like a melody in my head. I turned slowly to face a beatnik. "I hate to be blunt, but are you at all interested in getting to know me?" He looked around nervously and then he grabbed me without, so much, as a kiss to say hello. "You don't really mess around. I kinda like your forthright approach. Do you suppose that you'd be interested in going back to my place? I have a bottle of chilled champagne waiting for us." The object of my desire was thumping in front of my eyes. He followed my gaze and then he looked up into my eyes with this big smirk on his face. "I really don't see that he's going to be very happy about waiting. I think that we should find someplace quickly and get one out of the chamber." He was wearing a jean jacket and jeans and not at all in the league of my desire. WARNING - This book contains steamy romance scenes and is suitable for 18+ only.

My New Housemaid by Whitney Wes Price verified 8 hours ago

"When Katrina reached Olga, she smiled and kissed her lips gently and softly. Olga didn't fight it, but rather reached her hands up to feel Katrina's firm breasts and iron-like nipples. While Olga was enjoying the texture and softness of Katrina's breasts, Katrina reached behind her and undid her top and watched it fall into the water and sink to the bottom of the sparkling clear pool. Olga reached down and pulled off her panties and let them slide down in the water and stop at her ankles and stepped out of them. Katrina broke away and swam to the other side of the pool where she jumped out and sat spread-eagle on the edge of the pool, exposing her wet, tanned inner thighs and lips. Olga swam over to her and without even looking up, she buried her face between Katrina's thighs; her tongue inserted deep inside of Katrina. The sensation was unbelievable to both of them and the visage they were creating on the edge of the pool was unimaginably erotic and they knew it and fed off of the moment. They looked like they could be posing for an erotic magazine and for a nanosecond, Katrina wished secretly that they had a camera."
