Sinopsis

Robert Holloway's "The Phoenix of Sodom; or, the Vere Street Coterie" delves into the depths of 19th-century London's underground society, particularly focusing on homosexual culture and the societal pressures surrounding it. With an evocative prose style and vivid characterizations, Holloway captures the tension between personal identity and societal expectation in a period marked by moral rigidity. The narrative intricately weaves historical facts and imaginative storytelling, providing readers with a rich, immersive experience that reflects both the vibrant and tumultuous nature of queer life during this era. Robert Holloway, an author noted for his dark explorations of marginalized lives, draws upon historical elements and his own explorations of identity. His profound understanding of LGBTQ+ issues, coupled with an extensive background in literary critique, informs the urgent need for such narratives in contemporary literature. Holloway's fascination with the interplay of love, secrecy, and societal condemnation provides a poignant backdrop for the characters navigating their place in a repressive society. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in queer literature, social history, and the rich tapestry of human emotions amidst societal constraints. "The Phoenix of Sodom" is not just a historical account but a powerful commentary on love and identity, resonating deeply with anyone seeking to understand the complexities of humanity in the face of adversity.

When Michael Dawouk is disowned by his Muslim family for being gay, he turns his back on the religion and culture he grew up with. He is forced out onto the street, only to be taken in by a former high school teacher who offers him room and board in exchange for sex.
		 
Michael is soon left with nothing to believe in, until he meets Wyatt, a successful Texan businessman who takes him under his wing.

Things are getting complicated for the golden boy jock. 
Up until last week, everything in life had come easily for the high school quarterback-- football, girls, friends. So what if he was a little rough on Kevin, the gay guy in his class? Isn’t every jock supposed to pick on “queers”? 
Now Wade is learning his lesson the hard way. Ever since Kevin got his hands on that video, Wade has been at Kevin’s mercy... and at his service. Wade has had to do things that he swore he never would. But the worst part is that he’s starting to like it. Wade’s gotten a taste for something that he can’t get from this cheerleader girlfriend. 
But that may be the least of the straight stud’s problems. Because Kevin’s not the only one who’s found leverage on Wade. 
And if Wade thought his coach was hard on him before, he has no idea what’s coming.

Body Horror - Capitalism Fear...

Whether for entertainment, under the guise of medicine, or to propel consumerism, heinous acts are perpetrated daily on women’s bodies. In Body Horror: Capitalism, Fear, Misogyny, Jokes, award-winning journalist Anne Elizabeth Moore catalogs the global toll of capitalism on our physical autonomy. Weaving together unflinching research and surprising humor, these essays range from investigative—probing the Cambodian garment industry, the history of menstrual products, or the gender biases of patent law—to uncomfortably intimate. Informed by her own navigation of several autoimmune diagnoses, Moore examines what it takes to seek care and community in the increasingly complicated, problematic, and disinterested US healthcare system. 
 
A Lambda Literary Award finalist and a Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award shortlist title, Body Horror is “sharp, shocking, and darkly funny. . . . Brainy and historically informed, this collection is less a rallying cry or a bitter diatribe than a series of irreverent and ruthlessly accurate jabs at a culture that is slowly devouring us” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Featuring an updated introduction and new essays, as well as illustrations by Xander Marro, this new edition of Body Horror is a fascinating, insightful portrait of the gore that encapsulates contemporary American politics.

Tales of an Anxious Homosexual - A Memoir by Corey Clarke - cover

Tales of an Anxious Homosexual -...

Corey, born in the early 90s to an unhappy couple who would often go on to describe him as a mistake, would go on to live his life full of very bizarre and unfortunate situations, whether it's through living in supposed haunted houses or many awkward sexual encounters, all whilst having to face continuous anxiety and depression on a daily basis. To say his life is eventful would be an understatement; it's so eventful, to the point that he would always be told by those who are aware of his story that he should write a book, and so here we are—the book has been written. 
Throughout the course of this memoir, Corey takes us through the first 33 years of his life with locations ranging from Coventry to Manchester, from London to Blackpool, and from Butlins Skegness to Majorca. We delve into indie music scenes through various bands that Corey was a part of as well as a journey into his varied film taste, from Friday the 13th being the first horror film he watched in full all the way to Everything Everywhere All at Once changing his life and becoming his favourite film of all time upon seeing it at the cinema. Amongst all of this is a dark side, so much so to the point that Corey feels as though he's living through his own horror film as he faces the pressures of coming out of the closet, being in the middle of the many problems of his family, and facing bullies in various areas of life as well as the inescapable bully that is his own mind. 
This is a book that has been written as a way of therapy, a way of finding humour in bad situations whilst acknowledging how serious everything is that he has been through over the years, and it's a way of reaching out to people who have been through similar weird, horrific, and difficult times as a helping hand of sorts, a bit of reassurance if you will, reassurance that you're not alone and that someone else has been through this and has lived to tell the tale.
