This practical guide empowers everyone who identifies as male to take his rightful place at the centre of his own universe, honouring the unique qualities that set him apart from the mainstream. Emphasizing the importance of sexuality in Witchcraft, this book features a variety of methods for celebrating sex in a magical way.
The book is alive in the hands, no easy read, it wriggles and tries to leap away from you. I had to put it down more than once as a sentence took a turn into the brutal crepuscular silence and the rough marsh came for me. I laid down and wept.
This excellent look at the life of Carpenter from (Hove based author) Brian Anderson uses previously unpublished material and personal letters from his lovers and friends to shine a bold new light over the contributions to developments around sexuality and identify that Carpenter gave with his early writings on homosexuality.
Love them or loath them you root for them to the very last page. Sanderson is our very own Queer Tom Sharpe, and serves up thick deep fried pure Northern farce, battered with crisp satire, served with a generous sprinkling of his tart vinegar wit.
This all new Queer superhero comix with its interwoven stories covering the Alien creation of life on earth, a German bear couple who wrestle with the challenges of everyday life and a secret life of superhero adventures is a fun treat.
The book is a delight, twisting and turning in gothic wonder in your mind, bringing to life place and character with deft prose and the narrative grips from the off. I really enjoyed the grip of the tension and adored the slow in relentless discovery of the awful truth by the fun detective Kindaichi, mixed in with strange and foreign cultural ideas of curse, fate, forbidden love.
This is a lovely exploration of people struggling to have it all and realising that perhaps it’s just each other that they really want, and managing their own, and others expectations of what love can, and should be about.
The prose is world class, the arguments a clarion call, although not all of them recent, they chime in our daily lives still. The authentic narrative of personal experience of transition lift this book into Gospel and the poetry shakes it all back down again with metaphorical and emotional lightning strikes of shocking vigour. A great book to start the year with and a superb book to have experienced.
I love seeing us reflected in stories and with young people it’s really important that they can see themselves as key parts of fun, engaging and constructive narratives. The Pirate Mums is all of that, inclusive to the bone, celebratory of LGBTQ+ families and lives and very gently challenging of prejudice but most of all it’s a rollicking good story.
If you like books about sinister powerful elitist organisations who use all sorts of nefarious tricks to keep their holds on power you’ll love this book, but look in the mirror as it’s not a conspiracy thriller but the fictionalised narrative of institutionalised racism and individual prejudice focused against brilliant students told by a loud proud Queer Black voice.
