A college grad reunites with a high-school crush when invited to his bachelor party, a lonely cat-sitter wreaks havoc on his friends' apartment, happy-hour french fries leave more than grease on lips and fingers, and, squeezed into a diner booth, one man eats past his limit for the sake of friendship.

    Edgar Allan Poe

    Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
    He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
    Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
    In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery. 
    Poe is also one of a number of authors credited with inventing the detective genre with his Parisian sleuth C. Auguste Dupin.  He featured in three stories including the legendary ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’ and by sheer deduction, logic and a touch of Gallic arrogance revealed what was hidden to the rest of us.

    Marriage License - A 1933 Spicy...

    'Marriage License' (1933) is a provocative short story published in the risqué pulp magazine Spicy Stories. I love narrating these types of stories because they emphasize the interaction between men and women without salacious details about sex. 
    Set during the early 20th century, 'Marriage License' follows a young couple navigating the tension between societal expectations and personal desires. They go about pursuing a marriage license under questionable circumstances.  
    With its flirtatious tone and suggestive dialogue you'll be surprised at how much this spicy story pushes the boundaries toward love, gender roles, and morality. Especially since it was set during the Great Depression. This one has a fun twist at the end too. Enjoy and stay sensual. Dyann at The Body House

    No Old Ladies in Jannah - Short...

    A lottery winner accepts Islam the next day—only to realize he probably should've kept the lottery news to himself. A barista who can read Quran gets away with listing "Arabic speaker" on his resume—until the day a man comes in to test him. A talk show host unwittingly asks, "what happens after you die?" to a Muslim audience member who's got a surprise for him. A man intent on memorizing the Quran starts by naming his first daughter Fatihah, his wife unaware of what he plans to name their next daughter. 
    We meet a fella who's jealous of the other kids' favorite "djinn story" teller; a Hollywood hopeful pitching a Quranic Cinematic Universe; and a Muslim man reliving the same day over and over à la Groundhog Day. Along the way, we meet a kid named Simon who doesn't appreciate the "Bismillah game," a variation on Simon Says, a couple who has some amendments to make to their nikah contract, and we learn why you should leave all business behind on Jummah day. 
    Finding inspiration from the marital journeys of Batman and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to the tweaked supplications of an Artificial Intelligence bot, No Old Ladies in Jannah sources comedy from the connecting dots of a Muslim mind in a mainstream world. Exhibiting playfulness with heart, humanity with humor, and traditions with a twist, this debut collection from Jawaad Khan is sure to entertain readers with a variety of themes, subjects, tones, and narrative voices. The many pieces here will take you in all directions, but are ultimately centered by the deft hand of a writer who takes both the silly and the serious quite seriously.

    Who ever heard of a plain and downright homely heroine? Isn't a heroine by definition beautiful? Well, Edna Ferber, in her well known style that later produced Show Boat and Giant, tells us about just such a heroine in the first of these four special short stories. They are special to me because of their insight into the deep courage and faith of 'ordinary' people, people like most of us. And of course our failings and frailties and sometimes, the prince does not marry the right person. The other stories are A Bush League Hero, What she Wore and The Man Who Came Back.
