Book Description
Share the adventures with these hot guys as they find true love in this gay romance fantasy collection. Seductive vampires and innocent twinks. Fairy tales with princes and a shapeshifting curse. Best friends falling in love in a gay version of the Wizard of Oz. Could it get any more fantastic than that? Enjoy these five gay romance stories which take you over the rainbow, out of the coffin, and into the woods. Bobby and the Beast Prince Christopher is as conceited as he is handsome. After his overwhelming ego offends an evil sorcerer, Christopher is transformed into a hideous beast. He has only a limited time to fulfill a near-impossible condition or the curse will remain with him forever. Bobby is a stunning and innocent twink whose father is imprisoned at Prince Christopher's castle. Bobby offers himself in his father's place. It isn't long before a friendship begins to blossom between the happy-go-lucky Bobby and the newly-humbled Prince. As the Prince-turned-beast wonders, how can a man whose beauty is more than skin-deep ever come to love a creature such as himself? The Gay Vampire Next Door Nobody believes college student Kenny Dawkins when he says that a vampire moved in next door - despite the fact that the handsome and mysterious new neighbor first showed up at midnight dragging a large rectangular box into his basement. When Kenny and his best friend Sam decide to investigate further, Kenny finds out that spying on his hot, older neighbor has all kinds of unintended consequences. It's time for the young man to find out if it's true that vampires suck – in more ways than one! The Wicked Hot Wizard of Oz Farm boy Donny Windham has two big problems: he's in the closet; and he's in love with his straight best friend! His solution? Run away from home to someplace he's not the only gay guy in a two hundred mile radius of his family's Kansas farm. Before he can leave, a tornado transports Donny and his little dog Toto to the magical Land of Oz where they encounter Lions and Tylers and Gay Bears - oh my! Donny makes new friends along the way including the scantily clad Good Warlock of the North, the sassy Scarecrow, the brokenhearted Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion. Of course, there's the small matter of the Wicked Warlock of the West who'll stop at nothing to see Donny dead! On his fantastical journey down the Yellow Brick Road towards the Emerald City to meet the Wicked Hot Wizard of Oz, Donny discovers one important thing: There's no place like home, especially if it's with the man of his dreams. The Prince and the Pill When a sexy stranger arrives at the castle, the "queen" devises a unique test to determine if his claims of being a real gay prince are true. Has Prince Andrew finally found another true gay prince with whom to share his kingdom (and his muscular body) in the Enchanted Forest? First Time with the Gay Vampire Drew Carlton is a 25 year old athletic hunk who doesn't know how good-looking he really is. He's waited a long time for the special night when he enters Club Fangtasy, nervous about his first time with a man. Especially a man who also happens to be a vampire. Ben Wilhelm won't reveal his age. (Isn't it rude to ask a vampire how old he is?) Ben's not looking for love; he's just looking for a warm place to sink his fangs for the night. When he sees the young stud across the dance floor, feelings are awakened deep within him that he hasn't experienced in over a century. The revelation of a shocking secret organization raises the stakes, putting both their lives in jeopardy. What do you do when your survival depends on someone you don't really trust? Will the dark desires and forbidden attraction between a vampire and a human lead to eternal love or the final nail in the coffin?

A Sunday Times Bestseller! A 2022 Alex Award Winner! “Sparks fly” (NPR) in Everina Maxwell’s gut-wrenching and romantic space opera debut. Prince Kiem, a famously disappointing minor royal and the Emperor's least favorite grandchild, has been called upon to be useful for once. He's commanded to fulfill an obligation of marriage to the representative of the Empire's newest and most rebellious vassal planet. His future husband, Count Jainan, is a widower and murder suspect. Neither wants to be wed, but with a conspiracy unfolding around them and the fate of the empire at stake they will have to navigate the thorns and barbs of court intrigue, the machinations of war, and the long shadows of Jainan's past, and they'll have to do it together. So begins a legendary love story amid the stars. Like Ancillary Justice meets Red, White and Royal Blue, Winter’s Orbit is perfect for fans of Lois McMaster Bujold. “High-pitched noises escaped me; I shouted, more than once, 'Now kiss!' ... in a world so relentlessly uncertain, there’s a powerfully simple pleasure in the experience of a promise kept.” —The New York Times Book Review At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Pages : 255
Book Description
If Sol can just survive his last year of high school, he can escape his homophobic small town and go live with his Internet boyfriend for the summer. But when he loses his starting spot on the baseball team and converts to vegetarianism--a wolf, giving up meat!--his father threatens him with a hot, muggy summer working in the peach cannery unless he gets his act together. His teammates, who suspect his sexuality already, won't make it easy for him. But even with nobody on his side but his best friend Meg (who is even less popular than he is), the teenager finds answers and solace in an unlikely place: a 1901 book about a tragic gay romance in the bohemian district of Lutece, around the famed Moulin Rouge. Inspired by the spirit of the era, Meg and Sol share a glass of absinthe, with startling effect: Sol begins to dream that he is a cabaret dancer named Niki, offered a chance to escape his difficult life through romance--at the price of his beloved art of dance. When the dreams seep into his waking life, Sol adds "going crazy" to his worries, and the problems of a couple that lived a hundred years ago to the ever-growing list of his own. To save both Niki and himself, Sol will have to learn the difference between reality and illusion, and discover what love and life mean to him.

The Shadow Glass
Author: Josh Winning
Publisher: Titan Books (US, CA)
ISBN: 1789098637
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
A thrilling race against the clock to save the world from fantasy creatures from a cult 80s film. Perfect for fans of Henson Company puppet classics such as Labyrinth, Dark Crystal and The Never-Ending Story. Jack Corman is failing at life. Jobless, jaded and on the “wrong” side of thirty, he’s facing the threat of eviction from his London flat while reeling from the sudden death of his father, one-time film director Bob Corman. Back in the eighties, Bob poured his heart and soul into the creation of his 1986 puppet fantasy The Shadow Glass, a film Jack loved as a child, idolising its fox-like hero Dune. But The Shadow Glass flopped on release, deemed too scary for kids and too weird for adults, and Bob became a laughing stock, losing himself to booze and self-pity. Now, the film represents everything Jack hated about his father, and he lives with the fear that he’ll end up a failure just like him. In the wake of Bob’s death, Jack returns to his decaying home, a place creaking with movie memorabilia and painful memories. Then, during a freak thunderstorm, the puppets in the attic start talking. Tipped into a desperate real-world quest to save London from the more nefarious of his father’s creations, Jack teams up with excitable fanboy Toby and spiky studio executive Amelia to navigate the labyrinth of his father’s legacy while conjuring the hero within––and igniting a Shadow Glass resurgence that could, finally, do his father proud.
