Sinopse

Welcome to Paradise opens a window into the hearts and minds of a small group of African would-be emigrants, waiting on the beach in Morocco for a boat that will take them to a new life in Europe. As we shelter with them in the darkness, we hear of the cruelty, misfortune and grinding poverty which has compelled them here, to pit themselves against the dangers of the sea and the coastguards who patrol it. Tense, dramatic and deeply compassionate, Welcome to Paradise is a striking tale of human desperation and of the media-fuelled fantasies of Western life that rarely fulfil their promise yet hold a fatal allure.

    Join Mary's complex journey of self-discovery as she navigates family expectations, romantic entanglements, and an unexpected near-death experience. The story showcases Mary's internal struggles with faith, love, and personal identity, as she grapples with her feelings for the charming Indian filmmaker, Simha, while simultaneously trying to maintain a relationship with her long-term boyfriend, Jason. Mary's encounters with her family, friends, and colleagues illustrate the diverse perspectives and challenges she faces in her quest for personal growth and fulfillment. 
    Angel A is an Australian writer, filmmaker, and chiropractor who creates "stories that heal." His award-winning debut Mary Poser (SOVAS audiobook finalist) and second novel Holy Parrot explore "Angel's Leap" moments—when characters must choose between defeat or authentic transformation. Film directing, he won the Special Jury Remi Award at WorldFest-Houston. Drawing on 30 years of clinical experience, his work asks readers to recognize their patterns and live authentically. Stories that heal. 
    From The Author 
    "Three decades as a healer taught me: our deepest pain isn't physical—it's the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be. I write about "Angel's Leap" moments when characters must choose between defeat or authentic transformation. If you're trapped by expectations, paralyzed by imposter syndrome, or ready to stop pretending, these stories will mirror your journey. Readers tell me my books changed them."

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume the wonders of Sci-Fi and its inventions are twisted with the darkness of horror to reveal narratives that grip us in inventive ways.  Perhaps only pens of the calibre of Lovecraft, Stevenson, Wells and their literary colleagues can so easily lure our senses into dark and terrifying times.

    A Room of One's Own

    "A Room of One's Own" is one of Virginia Woolf's most influential works and a cornerstone of the feminist movement. In this brilliant essay, Woolf explores the limitations faced by women in the early 20th century, using captivating prose and the poetic style characteristic of a novelist. She compellingly argues that the lack of financial independence and a private space are key barriers preventing women from fully developing their literary talents. Today, A Room of One's Own remains as relevant as it was when first delivered in those revered lecture halls, offering a profound and poetic analysis of women's role in society and their creative potential.

    For readers who enjoy a dark and mysterious plot with their sexy books, Leo Sparx presents the first installment of this kinky m/m (m/m/m) series inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe stories, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The Cask of Amontillado.” 
    At the start of this queer erotic romance, a body is found chained to a wall in a world-famous gay resort. A heartbroken ex-theatre kid turned forensic scientist and an eccentric private detective form an unlikely team to investigate. Through hidden sex mazes, strange drag shows, and forbidden water features, the duo abandons the safety of the morgue, concealing their identities and losing their clothes on the way. 
    Pulled to the darkness beyond the main area of The Masquerade by his strong sexual appetite, the scientist runs into his ex-boyfriend—and things get really complicated. Meanwhile, he suspects his new strange but sexy investigator friend is hiding more than just his intentions. Rumors abound about a case of small bottles containing the best party favor ever made as a second body is discovered. 
    The duo ventures deeper to find out who or what is killing the men at The Masquerade. BDSM scenes gone wrong? Accidental overdose? Or is there a serial killer on the loose in the resort? Whatever is killing guests at the massive club, these men seeking the truth begin to suspect they’re next. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe with a queer kinky twist!
