Sinopsis

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. Jacob was a pioneer in the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths. But they were best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of 'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Although their intention was to preserve such material as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration, the tales soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view.' They have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.

    Delve deep into 3 filthy gay men paranormal fantasies. 
    Titles included are: 
    The Babysitter’s Vampire Night: 
    Setting up a babysitter service is a way for Harvey to make some money, but a call coming in when no one is available leaves him with little choice but to take the job himself. The house he arrives at is no different from the others on a quiet street, but he enters to find out there’s no child. The occupant then reveals his real reason for making the call. A vampire with a babysitter fetish seems insane, but Harvey gives in to a torrid encounter with Mr. Doyle to find out just how sexy a vampire can be. 
    Wild Werewolf on the Prairie: 
    A successful delivery of steers end with Cody making his way back across the open prairie alone. A late start setting out necessitates overnight camping and the howls he hears turn out not to be buffalo wolves. What comes out of the darkness is a legend, but the werewolf doesn’t want to take a life. Its interest is in something much more primal and Cody finds himself having a full moon encounter with an aroused beast. 
    Back Alley Vampire Gangbang: 
    Walking home after a heavy night out is Wesley’s first mistake. Taking a shortcut is his second. He’s not complaining at first when he bumps into Conrad, but a kiss with a handsome guy in a back alley turns crazy when two more men come out of the darkness. There’s no escape when the three men reveal what they really are, but giving in completely brings on as much pleasure as pain when vampire bites turn him on in a way he never expected.

    With this new opportunity, hope for my future blossoms. 
    Until I’m consumed by my choices, bound to decisions which are no longer my own. 
    By the time I see the warning signs, I’m afraid it may be too late.

    The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick - Something is wrong with Dad… Charlie knows it, but no one believes him. Is it all in his head, or has something terrifying taken his father’s place?  
    It has been said that Dick believed he was living in two timelines simultaneously, one as himself in 1970s California and another as a persecuted Christian in ancient Rome. These bizarre experiences fueled his paranoia but also deepened the philosophical depth of his later works. The Father Thing is one of his earlier works, published in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine in December 1954.
