Sinossi

A novel of a lesbian coming of age in Depression-era small-town Texas: “The love child of Fannie Flagg and Rita Mae Brown . . . [a] ravishing debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   It's 1923 in Midland, Texas, and Miss Dara falls in love with her best friend―who also happens to be a girl. Terrified, Miss Dara takes a job at the Imperial State Prison Farm for men. Once there, she befriends inmate and soon-to-be legendary blues singer Lead Belly, who sings his way out (true story)―but only after he makes her promise to free herself from her own prison…   “The story takes many delightful twists and turns, always described succinctly and colorfully by this narrator, who is irresistible even on days when she's ‘retaining enough water to grow rice in Arizona’ . . . A postcard of small-town Texas life from Prohibition through civil rights, tracing the treatment and awareness of gay people through these decades.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   “How can you not adore a novel about love, food, and how working in a prison can help you discover who you really are? Every page has a beating heart; every character is so alive, you swear you hear them breathing. Stoner is an original and this debut is just fantastic.” —Caroline Leavitt, New York Times–bestselling author of With or Without You

    This is not a love story. This is a story of a kidnapping, of holding someone against their will in a glass tower. There is a prince: handsome, bad-tempered, arrogant. Untouchable, safe within his magic and his glass tower. Daniel Everwood has everything he could ever need -- power, control, a tower of shimmering glass, even a friend. The fact that he cannot touch people has never truly mattered.
    Until he meets Eren.
    For the first time in his life, Daniel can touch someone. Simple contact becomes obsession. And obsession becomes a crime.
    Eren never asked to be special. To him, his difference is a curse. The last thing he ever wants is to wake up imprisoned in a glass tower, the captive of a man with too much power and too many secrets. He has a life waiting for him -- a mother, a girlfriend, a future he refuses to lose.
    Escaping should be simple. Except the closer Eren gets to freedom, the harder it becomes to ignore the unsettling truth: maybe Daniel isn't just the villain he's supposed to be. Maybe he is a victim, too, his heart as fragile as the glass magic he wields.
    And maybe, just maybe, neither of them will leave unchanged.

    One evening, two endlessly horny lesbian lovers are sat at home, enjoying a romantic evening by the fireside with some relaxing embroidery. One of them accidentally stabs her finger with the needle, but rather than recoiling in pain she finds that the sudden jab actually turns her on. Seeing how aroused she has become, her lover agrees to participate in her newfound fetish. In fact, she takes so well to her dominant role that she organises a particularly extreme evening of darkly erotic pain involving a bed of sharp spikes and a whole host of other sadistic sexual implements.

    The decades-old disappearance of twenty-one-year-old teaching student Deirdre O’Donnell is the Holy Grail for true-crime buffs—and Skylar Brennan, the host of the Ugly Town podcast, is no exception. In fact, on the mean streets of the internet, he’s considered an expert on the case. (In law-enforcement circles, he’s viewed as just another crackpot amateur sleuth.) 
    Every February, the remote New Hampshire village of Woodlark holds a candlelight vigil for Deirdre. Family, friends, and “supporters” of the long-missing girl gather at the spot where she was last seen. This is Skylar’s first vigil, and his fans are really looking forward to meeting him—though maybe not as much as the anonymous person who emailed him coordinates to Deirdre’s grave.
