The Price of Things

Elinor Glyn

Publisher: Dead Dodo Elinor Glyn Collection

Summary

Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Elinor Glyn, ‘The Price of Things.’
They both tried to talk of ordinary things for the few moments before that meal was announced, and then some kind of devilment seemed to come into Amaryllis--nothing could have been more seductive or alluring than her manner, while keeping to strict convention. The bright pink colour glowed in her cheeks and her eyes sparkled. She could not have accounted for her mood herself. It was one of excitement and interest.
Elinor Glyn began her writing in 1900, starting with a book based on letters to her mother, 'The Visits of Elizabeth'. And thereafter she more or less wrote one book each year to keep the wolf from the door, as her husband was debt-ridden from 1908, and also to keep up her standard of living. After several years of illness her husband died in 1915.
Early in her writing career she was recognised as one of the pioneers of what could be called erotic fiction, although not by modern-day standards, and she coined the use of the world 'It' to mean at the time sex-appeal and she helped to make Clara Bow a star by the use of the sobriquet for her of 'The It Girl'.
On the strength of her reputation and success she moved to Hollywood in 1920 and in 1921 was featured as one of the famous personalities in a Ralph Barton cartoon drawn especially for 'Vanity Fair' magazine.
A number of her books were made into films, most notably 'Beyond the Rocks' (1906), which starred Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson, and she was a scriptwriter for the silent movie industry, working for both MGM and Paramount Pictures in the mid-1920s. In addition she also had a brief career as one of the earliest female directors.

A Monogamous Threesome

Charlie Hedo

John studied his wife who was carrying a bag on her shoulder. He chuckled when he saw what she took with her that couldn’t fit in the bag. A large bath towel, The Girl on the Train book, two magazines including one for interior design , a gossip magazine and finally a pair of high-heeled shoes that she had bought yesterday at the Cours Saleya. 
She reached the first platform in one piece, but now she had to take another set of stairs, because the swimming pool was on the highest terrace. 
As she walked up the other stairs she felt how the towel was sliding and she clenched it between her chin and shoulder, making sure that the shoes and the books didn’t fall either. 
Her slippers and the stairs were the only things she could see at the moment and at first glance that was what seemed the most important, but she hadn’t taken into account the oncoming traffic. She almost ran her head on into the bulging part of a pair of boxer shorts. 
"Ow" she cried, while it was she who rammed the man on the stairs in his crotch. 
Her forehead had ended up in the balls of a man who was standing at the top of the stairs. 
 On holiday in Nice Juliette rammed a man in his crotch. It turned out to be a handsome Italian, staying in an apartment opposite her and her husband. 
The rest of the holiday the question is no longer whether she will remain faithful, but how. 
From the author of Hotwife Monologues.

Exposed

Bey Deckard

With middle-age looming, Greg offsets his boring day job with what truly feeds his soul: photography. The camera is an extension of himself where he exposes his passion for the intersect of pleasure and pain. However, the lens also acts as a barrier, protecting his subjects from the shameful mistakes of his past, and Greg is left isolated and lonely. Emyr stands on the cusp of fame, but adulation and abuse are both eroding his confidence, and one night, at the river’s edge, he seeks solace in the rain, hoping to hide his tears. The photographer and the virgin rock star share an accidental connection on that dark, drizzly night. When Greg invites Emyr back to his hotel room, no strings attached, the young man should have bolted. Instead, an odd sense of trust allows him to follow Greg’s lead. When the camera comes out, Emyr learns the stage isn’t the only place he loves to perform as Greg touches something inside him that rarely awakens. Faced with a beautiful, talented boy whose soul is as lonely as his own, will Greg be able to face his past and come to terms with it, or will he run from the connection he so desperately desires?
