Unrequited
|
 Price: £13.29/$10.19 |
by James Bennett
Love is Chaos.
Meet Aaron Edgeway: young, beautiful and naive.
Dominated by his father and isolated in a provincial English town, the last thing he expected was to fall in love. When he meets the charming Victor, he finds an escape route from his bleak existence and embarks upon a fairytale romance.
But Aaron has a secret - something about a bad mistake at a house party, an aristocratic drug dealer and a scandalous videotape. When blackmail and the unwanted attentions of his best friend threaten the only happiness he has ever known, Aaron is plunged headlong into a tangled web of desire and deceit.
He learns that love has a terrible price. A price that can only be paid in blood...
'Unrequited' is a tale of misdirected affections and fiery revenge. Shocking, poetic and heart wrenching, it is a dark parable for modern times.

29 Ways to Drown
|
 Price: £6.99 |
by Niki Aguirre
"29 Ways to Drown", is the debut short story collection of Niki Aguirre, a writer whose work has previously been published in three acclaimed anthologies. Influenced by a Latin American literary tradition steeped in magic realism and a personal history that has included living in Chicago, Cadiz, Guayaquil and London, Aguirre's collection of 10 unique stories convey a gritty, often scientifically-sophisticated world, with a haze of surrealism. Shamans parade the pages side-by-side with lovesick film buffs, papers and humans fly at will, and intellectual and professional quests lead to self-destruction.

 Price: £7.45 |
by J A Proudfoot
This is powerful poetry that makes the reader feel more alive and less alone through the haunting recognition of its narrative. He writes about topics universally experienced - love, lust, death, separation, mourning,self acceptance, guilt and fear, with each poem looking for its part in the infinite existence of time. The analogy here of flight, of human interplay with distance and time is demonstrated in many of the poems, as the author weaves observation, thought and analysis into his original and stimulating perspectives. These are vibrant memorable poems that capture and tease you through their interplay between thought and feeling, challenging perception and dimension at the same time as drawing on emotion. J A Proudfoot mixes thought and inference in a symbiotic way - both are intertwined, interdependent. The author's literary mastery and confidence with the written word is evident at times as well in its playfulness: poems such as I'm Dragging and On the Beach bear testament.

MO: Crimes of Practice
|
 Price: £7.95 / £6.50 |
by Contributor: Sarah Hilary
A coroner reveals a cadaver’s tell-tale clues to his students, as he unwittingly dissects his own relationship…
A breakdown driver turns his roadside routine into an altogether different type of pick-up…
Two creative writing tutors discuss the merits of ‘hardboiled’ versus ‘cosy’ schools of crime writing, while a murderous student points out that it’s really procedure that counts…
The second in this series of anthologies from the Crime Writers' Association latches onto the first clue of any criminal investigation: the modus operandi; the signature that identifies any serial perpetrator, the ‘how’ that becomes more important than the ‘why’. From the ex-doctor tenderly administering a final prescription to his victims, to a hotel full of finishing school debutantes exacting revenge on their lecherous host… these stories demonstrate that, even with the most despicable of crimes, there’s methodology in the madness.

'To Be or Not Be, Innit - A Yoof-speak Guide to Shakespeare'
|
 Price: £4.99 |
by Martin Baum
Alas, poor Shakespeare, we knew him well but not exactly in a way we used to. Because if Will was around today I think he'd be writing on the front line in Stratford upon Avon with his fit bitch Ann Hathaway in the Globe turff, getting loads of respect from the Stratford upon Avon massive, and producing works of pure genius like 'Romeo and His Fit Bitch Jools', 'De Taming of de Bitch', Macbeff and 'Two Geezas of Verona', and this is what this book is all about.
But for all the purists I would just like to say that this abridged collection of fifteen of Shakespeare's finest work has been mindful to stay true to the original format by retaining all the important sexist, duplicitous, cross-dressing and violent moments that made William Shakespeare well wicked.
Respect.
