When it comes to sex and romance, what if you could pursue every option, explore every possibility, without any of the risk or heartache? What if you could see the results of hooking up with your ex...go home with the hot chick behind the bar...explore kinks and fetishes without any of the fear, worry, or (worst of all) regret? Welcome to BREATHE WITH ME, the first interactive novel by erotic storyteller DAHLIA SCHWEITZER. This entertaining, illuminating volume invites readers like you to test-drive your reactions to various social, sexual, and romantic circumstances...to notice your own patterns...and, if you don't like where they take you, to wipe the slate clean. In one dizzying night (and a jam-packed morning after), you'll hit the streets of Los Angeles, living the life you've wanted but never dared to pursue. Go home with the bartender. Enjoy a threesome at The Standard. Indulge in that same-sex experience you've been fantasizing about. Seduce a sexy artist--or your own ex. Whatever option you choose, you can always start over.

In glamorous, superficial Los Angeles, where lies are commodities and illusions are everything, Adrian thinks Mark will give her the marriage and children she desperately craves. But then he makes the mistake of taking her to Hollywood's exclusive and secretive Magic Castle. Dark, sensual, and full of twisting passageways, the Magic Castle feels like a relic from another era, a Victorian mansion inside as well as out. Here, Adrian first sees Rafael, an intense Spanish magician with a talent for card tricks and mind games. Despite numerous distractions after that initial encounter--a naked pool party hosted by a certain Hollywood producer, a late night rendezvous with the aging director, to name just a few-all Adrian can keep thinking of is Rafael. But what's Rafael's agenda? Adrian will be forced to see through the illusions before she can discover real magic and the man ready to give it to her.

What happens when a college freshman goes from virgin to vixen...? When a delay at the airport turns delicious as a lady in uniform takes over...? When a late night shower leads to the satisfaction of an old school crush...? When people stop playing nice and start getting naughty?

So go ahead -- plunge yourself into this hotbed of passions, intimacies, and arousing interludes.

Raw and honest, provocative and titillating, Dahlia Schweitzer's Seduce Me lays bare the secrets of desire in stories of sensuous encounters, illicit affairs, forbidden passions?and obsessive hungers that must be satisfied, no matter where or when they arise. In these vivid tales of lust without limits, the lines are blurred between fantasy and reality, propriety and necessity. There are no boundaries or taboos, only needs to be fulfilled. Here women and men risk everything in pursuit of sexual satisfaction?and business always mixes with pleasure.

Examines the tradition of the private eye as it evolves in films, books, and television shows set in Los Angeles from the 1930s to the present. The book takes a closer look at narratives in which detectives travel the streets of LA, uncovering corruption, moral ambiguity, and greed, while always ultimately finding truth and redemption.

Examines outbreak narratives in film, television, and a variety of other media, putting them in conversation with rhetoric from government authorities and news organisations that have capitalized on public fears about our changing world. Dahlia Schweitzer identifies three distinct types of outbreak narrative, each corresponding to a specific contemporary anxiety.

Office Killer, the only film by Cindy Sherman, one of the twentieth century's most significant artists, has failed to be critically examined. Dahlia Schweitzer explores the film on a variety of levels, arguing that it is only through a close reading of the film that we can begin to appreciate the messages underlying all of Sherman's work.
