Sinopsis

Theodore Winthrop's novel 'Cecil Dreeme' is a captivating work of fiction that delves into themes of art, identity, and society in mid-19th century New York City. Written in a style reminiscent of the Romantic era, Winthrop's vivid descriptions and emotional depth immerse the reader in the world of the protagonist, an aspiring artist named Robert Byng. The novel's exploration of gender fluidity and personal transformation set it apart from other works of its time, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in historical fiction and queer literature. Despite its initial controversial reception, 'Cecil Dreeme' remains a significant contribution to American literature. Theodore Winthrop's own experiences as a traveler and writer likely influenced his creation of a character struggling to navigate societal norms and personal desires. Recommended for readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of identity and artistry in 19th century America.

    Six months ago, Ty Sutherland dropped out of an online sex chat group. It was anonymous. No one knew their real identity. And it was a space where they could finally be themselves. Unfortunately, it was also a space where they fell in love with a woman whose name they promised to forget. 
     
     
     
    Leslie Brandt would like to forget the online sex chat group she joined on a whim. In real life, she's a successful realtor with a professional image to maintain. She'd never want anyone to know the kinky things she's fantasized about—even if maybe she wishes some of those things could actually happen. 
     
     
     
    When they bump into each other at an open house, Leslie thinks Ty is simply a vet student who's obsessed with horses and only came to the open house for a free cookie—all of which is true. But when the rest of the truth comes out, neither Leslie nor Ty believes there's a way forward. 
     
     
     
    Sometimes believing in love is the first step. And sometimes it's all about trusting the stars.

    Randy Shilts was the preeminent LGBTQ+ reporter of his generation. 
     
     
     
    He was the first openly gay reporter assigned to a gay beat at a mainstream paper and one of the nation's most influential chroniclers of gay history, politics, and culture. Shilts wrote three seminal works on the community: The Mayor of Castro Street, on the life, assassination, and legacy of Harvey Milk; And the Band Played On, detailing the failure of politics as usual during the early AIDS epidemic; and Conduct Unbecoming, a history of the US military's mistreatment of LGBTQ service members. 
     
      
     
    Yet the intimate life story of Randy Shilts has been left unwritten. When the Band Played On tells that story, recognizing his legacy as a trailblazing figure in gay activism, journalism, and public policy. 
     
     
     
    The resulting narrative tells the tale of a singularly gifted voice, a talented yet insecure young man whose coming of age became intricately linked to the historic peaks and devastating perils of modern gay liberation. 
     
     
     
    When the Band Played On is the authoritative account of Randy Shilts's trailblazing life, as well as his legacy of shaping the history-making events he covered.

    Vincent Barnes has suffered four years as a vampire, and they've been the most miserable years of his pathetic life. Too poor for black market blood, he feeds from sleeping humans to survive. He tries to never intrude on the same prey twice, but after a single delicious taste of a long-lost childhood neighbor, he can't help returning for seconds. 
     
     
     
    Wesley Garcia has been waking up with fang marks. Lucky for him, he needs a vampire—to use as bait. He's certain Vitalis-Barron Pharmaceutical killed his mother, but to gain access to their covert research labs, he has to bring them a bloodsucker for their experiments. 
     
     
     
    Step one, a dramatic offer: Stay, and you can bite me. 
     
     
     
    Vincent leaps at the chance to gobble Wesley up. 
     
     
     
    Wes's plan is perfect. He'll befriend the vampire, then trick him into coming to the lab. No fighting, no fuss. But Vincent is more than Wesley has bargained for: sweet and shy, with intoxicating fangs that awaken new desires in Wes. As the two bond, Vincent believes he might have finally found someone worth putting his trust in . . . and Wes fears neither of them will survive the betrayal he has planned.
