Summary

Demo Reels and Arthouse Madness collects poetry from a self-identified unapologetic horror and pop culture junkie. Bram Stoker Award winner Liaguno presents 49 poems packed with modern observations that explore everything from our slasher movie obsession to the work week rhythm that drives so many of us. With a lyrical cadence and all-out alliteration Liaguno weaves short films for the mind from surprising angles, resuscitating familiar themes into ghoulish, garish technicolor life. Delving into both subcultures and subgenres with a dark cinematic aesthetic allows the subjects contained within to flourish with broad appeal, while retaining gritty and artistic relevance. Liaguno invites you into a world of fearless and fear-inducing verse that dares to play with nostalgic horror in unexpected ways.

    In the four years since losing her wife Annie, Mo Reeves has let grief become her constant companion, watching her thriving career and relationships wither like autumn leaves. When her friends convince her to make a pilgrimage to Annie's beloved hiking trail in Redwood National Park, she agrees—if only to silence their worry. 
     
     
     
    Aspen Anderson knows every trail and tourist that passes through her small town, content to pour drinks by night and guide backpackers by day beneath the towering redwood canopy. But lately, the comfort of her predictable life feels more like a cage than a sanctuary. 
     
     
     
    When these two women collide, their chemistry defies explanation. After Mo reveals the true purpose of her visit, Aspen proposes an unconventional solution: a journey down Redwood Creek that promises Mo one last chance to connect with Annie's memory. But as they venture deeper into the wilderness, both women discover that the path to healing—and love—may lead somewhere entirely unexpected.

    I've been way too busy to have a life outside of work, which means I've been pretty hard up. That's why, when the hotel puts me and a stranger in a room with one bed by mistake, I end up doing something stupid.The moment our bare skin meets, I know he's my mate, and I can't stop myself. 
    But he's a man, a human, and that makes him completely off-limits. That's why I had to leave without a word. Werewolves and humans don't mix. I can never see him again. So imagine my surprise when he shows up at my office a month later. 
    Tanner 
    It was just supposed to be a business conference, not a one-night stand with a stranger. But now I have to work with him, and I can't turn down this job. I want to hate him for sneaking out, but I can't. How can I resist those deep blue eyes, the ginger beard I love, and all those... muscles... 
    We shouldn't be doing this. He's straight, and I'm tired of having my heart broken. This isn't a hallmark movie, and it won't work. But I can't resist the strange bond between us as he turns my world upside down. 
    Maybe we can make it work. 
    WARNING: This spicy wolf shifter romance contains jaw-dropping twists, sizzling love scenes, bi awakening, there's only one bed, gay for you, and a happily ever after that will leave you speechless. It should only be read by those who like their 'straight' werewolves hot and their boyfriends even hotter.

    What’s worse than being snowed in with your ex? Literally nothing. 
    Initially, the only thing Marshall and Marshall had in common was a name. Marshall (aka Data) lived his life around spreadsheets, while Marshall (aka Marsh) was an F5 tornado of chaos. Yet for eight years, they were madly in love. Until Marsh abruptly ended things with a half-baked excuse. 
    Six months later, Data gets a text from Marsh out of the blue: They need to clean out their cabin in Maine and sell it ASAP. He can make it through one more weekend with the man who broke his heart. 
    Marsh loved adding squiggles to the straight lines of his boyfriend. If only he could’ve lived up to the potential Data saw in him. If only he didn’t feel like he was one big miscalculation on Data’s ledger. Saying goodbye to Marshmallow Mountain will be the final tie to sever, even though he still pines for his number-crunching teddy bear. 
    But when a massive snowstorm traps them in their small cabin for days, they’re forced to confront hard truths about their breakup…as well as resist the sweltering heat raging between them. 
    These boys might be headed for a second act, but only if they can make it off Marshmallow Mountain.

    Bastien is a vampire on vacation, and like any other vampire on vacation, all he wants to do is sleep all day and drink lots of wine. (And maybe some blood too. You know. If the opportunity arises.)  
    Which makes it very irritating when a vampire-hunting priest wakes him up at a super bright and sunny hour to kill him. But it turns out that this vampire hunter happens to be very handsome.  
    And Bastien happens to be so very thirsty...
