Synopsis

In "Dutch the Diver; Or, A Man's Mistake," George Manville Fenn crafts a gripping adventure that unfolds in the expansive setting of coastal waters, highlighting the compelling life of a diver. Rich with vivid descriptions and characterized by an engaging narrative style, Fenn deftly weaves themes of ambition, human folly, and the complexities of maritime life into a coming-of-age tale. The book reflects the Victorian fascination with exploration and adventure, while meticulously portraying the challenges of life beneath the waves and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters. George Manville Fenn, a prolific English author of the late 19th century, drew from his firsthand experiences and keen observations of maritime culture when penning this tale. His background in industrial and naval environments infused his writing with authenticity and depth, enabling him to explore the intricacies of human character against the backdrop of sea exploration. Fenn's literary career, which included novels aimed at young readers, underscores the didactic nature of his storytelling, encouraging reflection on the consequences of one's choices. "Dutch the Diver" invites readers to dive into a world of adventure and introspection, making it a poignant read for those interested in maritime lore and the trials of personal ambition. This novel is not just an engaging narrative; it serves as a contemplation on the very essence of human decision-making, affirming Fenn's significance in the canon of adventure literature.

Holiday tales, retold queerly… 
A silk hat turns snow into life and a chance at love for a man with little hope of either. Two men with a connection sparked in passing attempt to withstand everything the tumultuous Toronto of 1981 throws their way, with their only remaining hope being Christmas Eve itself. A much-maligned queen of the snow teaches a young boy how to use his magic to find others of his kind. And a reindeer shines a light of its own, and with the help of the daughter of Father Time, brings gifts—and hope—to all those usually left behind. 
Holiday magic connects these tales and more—tales heard and seen and sung before, familiar and joyous, or tender and bittersweet—all to the last told upon the midnight queer. 
Upon the Midnight Queer is the second short story collection from Lambda Literary Award finalist ’Nathan Burgoine, and includes the brand new Little Village Holiday Novella, “Folly.”
