  For Mia Chen, menstruation has always been an inconvenience—until she downloads MonsterFling on a frustrated Friday night. When a vampire named Elise matches with her and specifically asks about her period, Mia discovers her monthly "curse" might actually be a blessing in disguise. 
  What begins as curiosity turns into the most intense night of Mia's life when she meets the elegant, centuries-old vampire who sees her menstruation not as something disgusting, but as something precious and desirable. As a naturally dominant woman, Mia is intrigued to find Elise—powerful enough to snap her in half—willingly submitting to her commands. 
  In this spicy LGBTQ short story, vampire feeding and period play become an unexpected path to pleasure as Mia discovers the erotic potential of embracing what society has taught her to hide. When Elise's cool tongue brings waves of ecstasy, their passionate encounter challenges both women's expectations. 
  As their night of bloodstained sheets and earth-shattering orgasms unfolds, Mia finds herself drawn to more than just Elise's supernatural abilities. The dominant human female and submissive vampire female discover a connection neither expected from a hookup app—one that might last beyond sunrise. 
  Diverse, inclusive, and deliciously explicit, this FF vampire romance explores the beauty of embracing natural cycles and supernatural desires, proving that sometimes the most liberating pleasure comes when someone thirsts for exactly what makes you unique.

  'Gently and thoughtfully enquiring' The Spectator
  
  Can you remember the first time you encountered true darkness? The kind that remains as black and inky whether your eyes are open or closed? Where you can't see your hand in front of your face?
  
  Jacqueline Yallop can. It was in an unfamiliar bedroom while holidaying in Yorkshire as a child, and ever since then she has been fascinated by the dark, by our efforts to capture or avoid it, by the meanings we give to it and the way our brains process it.
  
  Taking a journey into the dark secrets of place, body and mind, she documents a series of night-time walks, exploring both the physical realities of darkness and the psychological dark that helps shape our sense of self. Exploring our enduring love-hate relationship with states of darkness, she considers how we attempt to understand and contain the dark, and, as she comes to terms with her father's deteriorating Alzheimer's, she reflects on how our relationship to the dark can change with time and circumstance.
  
  Darkness captivates, baffles and appals us. It's a shifty thing of many textures, many moods, a state of fascination and of horror, an absence and a presence, solace and threat, a beginning and an end. Into the Dark is the story of the many darks that fascinate and assail us. It faces the darkness full on in all its guises and mysteries, celebrating it as a thing of beauty while peering into the void.

  Fans Have More Friends

  In Fans Have More Friends, sports fans, dads, and data analysts David Sikorjak and Ben Valenta argue that fandom can not only increase our sense of belonging but also serves as a powerful antidote to loneliness because sports fans experience increased social connection. What they didn't realize was how deep that connection was, the potential it carried for individual and societal wellness, or the opportunities it offered for adult friendships, making and keeping friends, and family ties. 
   
   
   
  Their theory is simple: if we want to be less lonely, we need to belong to a community or something greater than ourselves. Over the course of two years, countless in-person interviews and rigorously designed surveys, Ben Valenta and David Sikorjak have the proof that being a fan can lead to: improved social connections; stronger community ties; enhanced well-being; a greater sense of belonging; and more friends. 
   
   
   
  The common thread in all of these personal stories is friendship, community, and belonging—a feeling research can't reveal as well as stories can. Fans Have More Friends will make you think differently about sports and reminds all of us of the essential animating quality of fandom: We're in this together. Sports is not always about what's happening on the field but what's happening in the stands.

  A gripping tale of resilience and survival that offers hope to others who have experienced family violence and suffered at the hands of a sibling.A deeply personal and heart-breaking memoir that explores the troubled relationship between Mary Garden and her younger sister, Anna, who died in 2023 after a short illness. Mary unpacks her life of growing up in New Zealand in the 1950s and ’60s, before making Australia home. She reveals complex layers of intergenerational trauma, including the baggage of her eccentric, deeply flawed father and the secret her mother kept from all of them, revealed only after her death. Mary deals movingly with her sister’s long battle with mental illness and how she once saved Anna’s life. As she unravels these narratives, Mary touches on the guilt and shame familiar to anyone who has had to deal with secrets, violence and ‘madness’ in their family. And she shines a light on sibling abuse, the most common form of abuse in the context of family violence ‒ occurring up to five times as frequently as spousal or parental child abuse ‒ although it is often dismissed as ‘sibling rivalry’. It causes far-reaching, long-lasting harm.
