A love letter to masculinity, and an indictment of patriarchy. How do you invest in a relationship built on deception, then break up without destroying everything? Is it possible to leave love intact but transformed? THE DADDIES is a story about love and grief – how it hurts to change, even when change is needed. Using hybrid narrative, magical realism and pop-culture analysis, THE DADDIES offers a dark love letter to masculinity told as a lesbian leather-Daddy love story. The story follows a break-up between adults, lovers, but the metanarrative is about our cultural need to break-up with patriarchy, while still holding onto love for masculinity. THE DADDIES is about the pain of change, an unflinching tour through the pleasures and horrors of domination.Zum Buch

Step inside the mind of a woman unraveling. In this chilling and unforgettable short story, Charlotte Perkins Gilman delivers a masterwork of early psychological horror and feminist literature. First published in 1892, The Yellow Wallpaper is told through the haunting journal entries of a woman suffering from what we now recognize as postpartum depression. Prescribed a "rest cure" by her physician husband, she is confined to a secluded upstairs room in a rented mansion—its most disturbing feature: the sickly, torn yellow wallpaper lining the walls. As the days pass and her isolation deepens, the narrator becomes fixated on the wallpaper’s chaotic patterns, convinced that a woman is trapped within. Her descent into obsession and madness blurs the line between reality and hallucination, building to a climax as gripping as it is tragic. A searing critique of the patriarchal treatment of women's mental health, The Yellow Wallpaper explores themes of autonomy, confinement, and the desperate need to be heard. Told in fragmented, intimate prose, it is as psychologically nuanced as it is socially relevant. Whether you're drawn to gothic tales, feminist classics, or psychological thrillers, this powerful story—based on Gilman’s own experience—will linger in your mind long after the final word.Zum Buch
He took the oceanfront house. He stole the painting. He underestimated her. They had built a life together. The law says it was never hers. Maya Carson poured years of work, love, and savings into the Beach House she shared with Julian Barrett. She paid all the bills, invested everything in the renovation, painted every wall, sanded the floors and trim, rebuilt the gardens, and imagined the family they might one day have. But when the relationship shatters, Maya faces a brutal truth: she was never married, and her name was never on the title. In the eyes of the Barrett family, she owns nothing. Julian’s older brother, Lucas—ambitious, calculating, and determined to control the Barrett estate—moves fast. He demands the sale of the Beach House, the transfer of a valuable vacant lot, and the return of a rare Riopelle painting Maya helped protect for years. In a jurisdiction with no statutory protection for common-law partners, her years of contribution vanish on paper. But Maya refuses to be bullied. What follows is a tense, intimate fight over home, loyalty, and the stories families tell to justify what they claim. Caught between the man she once trusted and the brother who never hid his contempt, Maya steps into a high-pressure mediation that becomes a turning point in all their lives. Inside that room—off-limits to the public—truths are revealed, alliances shift, and the past refuses to stay buried. In the mediation session, sit next to the mediator and watch the negotiations unfold in a true to life legal drama. A gripping, emotionally layered novel about betrayal, inheritance, resilience, and one woman’s battle to claim the life she built when love alone isn’t enough to protect her.Zum Buch
