I Am Herod

Richard Kelly Kemick

On a whim, armchair-atheist Richard Kelly Kemick joins the 100-plus cast of The Canadian Badlands Passion Play, North America's largest production of its kind and one of the main tourist attractions in Alberta. By the time closing night is over, Kemick has a story to tell. From the controversial choice of casting to the bizarre life in rehearsal, this glorious behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada's strangest theatrical spectacles also confronts the role of religion in contemporary life and the void left by its absence for non-believers. 
"Kemick's book is that delicious cross between Waiting for Guffman and The Studhorse Man, a rousing personal comedy that dances between the sweat of art and the glue of experience. Nothing like it exists in non-fiction, but don't read it for that reason. Read it because it sticks to your fingers and you can't shake it off." — Dave Bidini 
"Well-observed and poignant, this is a fascinating look into a largely unknown world." — Michael Coren 
"Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination." — Marcello Di Cintio

Hailey’s Exploitation: A Cute...

J.C. Cummings

Hailey’s Exploitation: A Cute Freshman, Her Lecherous Tutor, and His Horny Son. An ENF Story of Submission and Shame. Freshman Hailey O’Brien is one cute little honey—and Professor Alec Larsen can’t keep his dirty mind and hungry eyes off her. That’s why he’s been so willing to give her extra help for all these weeks—for which Hailey is very grateful. Sadly, professional protocol prohibits him from laying his equally hungry hands on her.

But his son Oliver can.

Poor Oliver. Alec’s freshman son doesn’t stand a chance with women—certainly not a beauty like Hailey. He’s awkward, gangly, and homely to a fault. There is absolutely no way this kid would ever be able to even be noticed by a girl like Hailey, let alone score with her.

Well, this gives Professor Larsen an idea. A very dirty idea.

Capitalizing on Hailey’s plan to become a social worker, he informs her that she could be of great “service” to this poor, awkward boy by letting him get in a little “practice” on her. Talking, kissing, that sort of thing.

Well, even that is a bit much for Hailey to agree to—until her kindly professor reminds her that he has, after all, given her a whole lot of free help all semester. And one generous deed deserves another. Finally, she agrees.

But that’s only because Hailey doesn’t realize that talking and kissing are just for starters.

Professor Larsen is far too perverted—and Oliver is far too horny—to be satisfied with a bit of kissing. Much to this quivering young woman’s shock, she is about to offer Oliver a whole lot more than her sweet lips!

Oliver is about to become very educated. And his dad is about to one heck of a good time himself! Especially after Hailey’s very tight jeans come off!

Fans of ENF erotica featuring beautiful, young, submissive college chicks who find themselves in the most embarrassing, debasing, humiliating situations imaginable—this one is for you!
