Beschreibung

A New York City hustler with a special gift for reeling in customers, Apollo, 'a pale skinned mulatto with a mournful mouth' strips at a gay sex theatre in Times Square. He is one of the most seductive and disturbing creations in recent American fiction. Unflinchingly describing the lives of hustlers, pimps, drug-addicts and transsexuals in 1990s Times Square, User speaks with the authentic voice of characters from the edge. This is a world filled with stark, hypnotic eroticism and mined with terrors peculiar to the subterranean city in the hours after midnight.  A Queer Classic published in the UK and Australia for the first time. By the bestselling author of The Romanian, winner of the Prix de France.  User is unmistakably brilliant' Los Angeles Times. 'Impressive, startling and eerie...hypnotically descriptive and powerfully rhythmic' Kirkus. 'User is a stunning novel. I both love and respect it even though parts of it challenge and disturb me' Matt Bates.

    I see you, Roman. You want to fight me, and then you want to be so good for me. 
    We’re lost boys, wild and forgotten. Born into a world of poverty and crime, my two best friends and I have nothing to rely on except each other. But I have a plan: if I can film viral BDSM porn, I might rake in enough cash to get us out of this trailer park before we become another gang violence statistic. Kink is a rich man’s game—high-end clubs, dungeons full of toys—but maybe two dirt-poor boys with homemade gear can still compete. 
    First, I need a sub. I’m looking for someone perfect and obedient—until the new boy moves into town. He’s huge and silent and skittish, broken down by pain and loneliness. But when he’s cornered, he fights like an animal. An animal who desperately wants to be tamed. When I look into his eyes, the flash of submission I see there has me obsessed. When he kneels for me, both our broken worlds become whole. 
    Nobody believes that trailer park boys deserve a better life, that we can find happiness and build our own family. But we’re fighters, and together the four of us will find a way to be free. 
    An intense, emotional story about, resilience and trauma, kink, hurt/comfort, a smaller dom/larger sub, and found family.

    'One can't help where one is born. Or one's station, of course. The trick to happiness is to be content where one is. Or so I am told.'
    1979. Clarence House, London. The Queen Mother's receptions are in full swing and the champagne is flowing. Guiding the proceedings is William 'Billy' Tallon, page of the backstairs, keeper of the keys, holder of the royal corgis – and the royal secrets.
    Outside the palace walls, unemployment, inflation and industrial action are bringing Britain to its knees, and the country is on the verge of changing seismically under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. These two worlds are about to collide, with dizzying consequences for everyone...
    Backstairs Billy examines the fifty-year relationship between the Queen Mother and her most loyal, most outrageous servant, who joined her household at the age of fifteen. Marcelo Dos Santos's irreverent comedy was first produced by the Michael Grandage Company at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, in 2023, directed by Grandage and starring Penelope Wilton and Luke Evans.
    Marcelo Dos Santos was named Most Promising Playwright at the 2024 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for Backstairs Billy (he was the joint winner of the award with Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini).

    Emmalynn Gallagher threw caution to the wind once—and found herself in the middle of a tornado. Needless to say, she won't be doing that again. Now she fills her life with plans and to-do lists. Having moved home for a fresh start, Emma's facing the ultimate re-do list when she abruptly comes face to face with Aubrey Glass, the source of Emma's teenage yearning. 
     
     
     
    Aubrey wouldn't recognize yearning if it tornadoed into her face, but she does recognize Emma . . . even if she wishes she didn't. Socializing, especially with her past, is Aubrey's least favorite activity. She's tender in spots no one can see and would prefer to fade into the background. 
     
     
     
    Amidst the backdrop of towering shelves of books and the persistent aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Emma and Aubrey navigate their post-high school reunion. With plenty of fumbles and missteps, it doesn't seem likely that they'll manage to merge their paths, nor does it always seem that they want to . . . until suddenly, it's the only thing that makes sense to either one of them.

    Loving the Don's brother was never part of Andrew's job description. 
    As the right-hand man to Chicago's most feared crime boss, Andrew De Vries knows the rules: family first, business second, no secrets. Too bad he's breaking all three by falling for Shiloh—his best friend's younger brother and the one man who could get them both killed. 
    When Shiloh's company becomes the target of a brutal attack and he's taken hostage, Andrew faces an impossible choice. He can keep their forbidden relationship hidden and watch the love of his life disappear forever, or risk everything—including a bullet from his best friend—to save him. 
    But in the unforgiving world of the mafia, some secrets are worth dying for... and some betrayals can never be forgiven. 
    Will Andrew's confession of love be enough to save them both, or will it be the last words he ever speaks?

    Domino Rush can't write a song. Every time she tries, nothing comes out. Her band, The Shrikes, had a hugely successful first album, but writing the follow up is way too much pressure. Adding to the pressure? Her entire band is depending on her. But Domino has never been one for responsibility. So, instead of writing, she surfs, drinks, and finds pretty women to keep her company. 
     
     
     
    Sabrina Meloy has her entire life planned out and organized. Literally. One year ago, she founded a home organization company and in the past year, it has slowly grown into something she's extremely proud about. She doesn't need any distractions. She just needs one big breakout client to really cement her professional expertise and make her brand explode. 
     
     
     
    When Domino's band hires Sabrina to organize Dom's house to hopefully get her back on track to get in a songwriting state of mind, the two women find themselves spending a lot of time together. Except, the two opposites have nothing in common and quite frankly, can't figure one another out. 
     
     
     
    Will Sabrina be able to organize the mess that is Domino Rush—and in the meantime, will Domino finally show Sabrina there's more to life than matching spice racks?
