I Hope This Email Finds You...

Ken Kupchik

Ahhh, the modern workplace: a cauldron of stress and anxiety. From the moment we accept a new role, we’re thrown into a world of competing personalities, shifting protocols, and an endless stream of emails, Slack messages, and Zoom calls, all of which serve to distract us from the things we truly want to be doing, like eating Thai food and sleeping until noon. 
I Hope This Email Finds You Never puts aside the motivational screeds, productivity hacks, and pop-science, and focuses instead on those things in the workplace that truly cause us grief—like a coworker eating an apple during a video call—in a lighthearted, entertaining, and (most importantly) cynical way. 
Some things you’ll learn:How long you can get away with being “new” until you’re held accountableHow to make it look like you’re sorry without giving up any powerHow to find a workplace friend and make a workplace enemyCamera position: how to set up your laptop for maximum dominanceOrganizing your calendar while leaving time to cryThe rules of the kitchen (stealing someone’s yogurt is literally a crime)Writing a letter of resignation when you’ve already been resigned from day one

Living Dead Lovers

Jonathan Dunne

***MATURE AUDIENCE*** 
Living Dead Lovers READ BY THE AUTHOR. 
Living Dead Lovers follows the life and times of famed psychic-medium, half-Romani gypsy, Valentina ‘Cabbage’ Moone, from her mute infancy trawling the roads of Europe to a fiery-tongued, hard-drinking, speed-loving clairvoyant with a complete disregard for human life, including her own of late…

A twisted love affair never meant to be. Necrophilia: that’s what the sceptical call it. Romantics call it the yin-yang love between being and human being, light and, oh, so very dark. 
And her guardian angel Mr. Brick Shithouse makes it even more complicated...

Gulliver's Travels

Jonathan Swift

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.Gulliver's Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver's final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire - in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver's Travels has been interpreted since its first publication. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin.

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!
