Brian Hinton didn't set out to be a high-priced male prostitute based in L.A. but traveling far and wide to serve the desires and fetishes of rich and powerful men who could afford to pay $3,000 an hour for his attentions. Like many young, handsome men with acting talent that shines brightly on the small-town stage, Brian wanted to break into movie stardom. But also like many of these young men, he found that his greatest talent and charisma was in being at the beck and call of already-successful men with unusual appetites and thick wallets. Unlike some of these other men, though, Brian embraced the possibilities and made the most of the natural allure that he evoked in other man and, with gusto and without apologies or reservations, entered into a fascinating life of making the most of what he had in a reality-based arc in the spotlight that, in this collection of stories of sexual gay male encounter begins in naïve, overstretching ambition and ends with a satisfied sigh. This is a change-in-publisher relaunch of Man's Man.

An exotic tale of seduction from the pen of habu. Tale ofBritish solicitor Sir Cecil Pells has brought his American ward, innocent and golden-haired youth Michael Powell, on an educational trip to Egypt at one of the worst possible moments in Mideast history. Anti-British and nationalist sentiments have been increasing for four years and have just reached their peak with the violent reaction to the reparations demanded for the 1924 assassination in Cairo of the British governor of the Sudan. Westerners and Egyptian British sympathizers alike are being kidnapped for ransom-or worse-by the score on the streets of Cairo. Sir Cecil and Michael, the lone orphan and heir of an American industrial fortune, sup in the Gentlemen's Dining Room of Cairo's venerable Shepheard's Hotel, center of the British colonial society in Cairo, on the eve of a journey up the Nile to visit the recently opened tomb of the boy pharaoh, Tutankhamun. Here the appearance of the handsome, fair-haired youth captures the notice of several men, including the Egyptian novelist and prominent wealthy citizen-and notorious debaucher of young men-Rushdy Abazar. Before the evening is over, Michael has been kidnapped and imprisoned . . . with Rushdy Abazar. Michael has led a sheltered and highly controlled life, with all his natural curiosity and budding interests stifled by an oppressive guardian. To distract the distraught American, Abazar, the master storyteller, weaves for him enticing stories of the ultimate pleasure while depicting their current shared circumstances as proof of the fickleness and fleeting security of life. Does Michael want to live before he dies is the question that Abazar spins for the impressionable youth. There is little doubt what Abazar is interested in during days of cat-and-mouse maneuvering, but what he seeks is not easily attainable-and the whole situation has a hint of mystery and questionability about it. Is Abazar saving or destroying Michael?

Gay erotica/ historical saga. Mystery surrounds young hunk Tab when he steps off the bus in the small, historical harbor town of Shernhaven, Massachusetts. How is he so quickly able to perceive the dark underbelly of the town-and what is it that he's putting his "handyman" skills to changing, or "fixing," or, at least, to shaking up? How can he know that the seeds of what the town is underneath its picturesque veneer go back to its founding three hundred and seventy years before? And to the men who founded it. When Tab steps off the bus onto the town's Braintree Road and immediately catches the speculative attention of Shernhaven's leading banker, Trevor Cole, is it chance or is it part of something deeper? The Handyman toys with the concept that the sexual proclivities of men can be passed down through the generations as it follows the history of American immigration into a small New England seaport town through the arrival and establishment and interrelationships of six founding families. Shernhaven is a man's town in every sense of the word and becomes so from the unique input of the men who have arrived in Shernhaven to establish their presence from the very beginnings of the United States. Arriving in 1640 with a land grant from the English king, Charles I, three families, those of the Sherns, Coles, and Geers manage to establish a place in history for themselves in Shernhaven. The aristocratic Sherns have ruled, by right, from the town's founding, and their men share an interest in cruelty in the taking, down through the generations. The original founders of the Cole and Geer families arrived in more servile fashion, and not just in their social status, but they also manage to establish themselves in enduring prominence and power in Shernhaven. Spice is added to the mix when the slave trade becomes a mainstay of the Shernhaven economy in the mid eighteenth century, and Kweku, the original black stud arrives in Shernhaven from the African Gold Coast by way of Jamaica. His descendants become the always-ready and enormously satisfying men of the Semple family. Exhaustion from a half century of wars bring the Germans, in the form of the Fischer family, the men of which have an obsession for punishment, to Shernhaven in the early nineteenth-century and some thirty years later the potato famine in Ireland introduces the Irish to the town, represented by the Dungans, with their puritanical streak. Nearly four hundred years of the churning and melding of all of the sexual obsessions of men for other men in the town of Shernhaven inevitably results in complications and tragedies that come to a head in the late 1990s. Ten years later the handyman, Tab, strides into this mix and slowly, but surely, the whole sexual power structure of Shernhaven begins to shift. The last mystery is how and why-and to what end is the handyman working?

A big, wild anthology of 36 gay erotica stories, about athletes and fans and coaches being bad, very bad, and extremely good at doing it. The sporting life means something slightly different to the men who love men than it means to the usual sportsman. To many, the goal of a sport is to play the game and to win by achieving the best score. In this collection of three dozen stories, many of which have never been published before, habu explores, sometimes with intensity and sometime tongue in cheek, sport as merely the framework in which to achieve an entirely different goal and to score in a much different meaning of the term. Step into the sporting life of habu's world.

Young theater dancer and secret playwright Sean Singleton and streetwise Gil Johnson struggle from their separate circumstances to rise from under the domination of three larger-than-life unfettered predatory Broadway legends during the staging of a major production at Washington, D.C.'s, renowned regional Arena Stage theater. In a twisting tale of lies, bravado, and sexual exploitation, told from the differing and separate misunderstandings and perceptions of Sean and Gil, the two spar in their own dance of denial and attraction in a rush to free themselves and find new love and validation in a final curtain act of defiance.This is an expanded relaunch of the eXcessica novella of the same name.Also available in paperback.

The guidance given to men seeking a lasting, caring relationship with another man often is to look for a man with a dog. If the man you are considering to do more than just hook up with briefly and casually owns a dog, he is likely to be a patient, caring, unselfish, loyal person, all good ingredients for a serious long-term relationship. He pretty much would have to be to have and care for a dog. Of course a corollary of this guidance is to look for the type of dog he has. If the man has a pit bull, you'd best be shopping for someone who is dominant and forceful; if a Pekinese, you probably should expect to find a sub-and perhaps a somewhat temperamental one.Among the stories in Eleven to the Dogs, you will find stories illustrating just such finds in establishing relationships.As the guidance is well known, though, you also will find stories here of men who don't actually own dogs pretending they do as a subterfuge for finding the man they want-one looking for men with the patience, unselfishness, and loyalty to own a dog. And gay or not, as these stories illustrate, there is no relationship as strong as that between a man and his dog.

Warnings: contains graphic language and graphic gay male, MMF, MF, bisexual, and multiple partner sex situations enjoyed by all participants. Luther is a young man seeming to be happily tooling along on the edge of life in the beach resort town of Cape May, New Jersey, only half aware of what is happening around and to him because he was born slow-witted. But what he appears to have been shortchanged in brain cells has been more than made up in physical attributes he inherited from a mixed-race coupling. Those around him, from his priest to his former teachers to his current employers to jaded rich tourists and a social worker, are eager to take advantage of both of his most apparent traits-his innocence and good humored readiness to please and his arresting physical endowments. The few genuine friends he has-who aren't so genuine that they shirk from getting in on what he has to offer themselves-feel sorry for his plight and worried for his future. But Luther himself seems happy as a clam and, perhaps, just perhaps, is more in control of what is going on, and less taken advantage of, than anyone suspects. Luther's "normal" life as the furniture refinisher for the antique store-owning pair of Tim and Alfred and sometimes fishing trip second mate to the married Rob is set on edge by busybody and judgmental neighbor, Mrs. Watson, when Luther is visited in his home workshop by his former gym teacher, Grant, and by Luther's new, "special" friend, Keith, who decides that what would make Luther even more perfect would be a Prince Albert ring. When rich, predator yachters Jonathan and Pamela appear on the scene to sail Luther away into a new life of service, Luther is faced with the decision to go with the flow with good humor as he'd always done before to fit into life or to assert his own wants and needs.

A Factional Memoir of the Gay Life of habu Flying High, Diving Deep provides a three-decade memoir of the gay portion of a male bisexual's awakening to, nearly unfettered enjoyment of, and sometimes bittersweet reflections on the active gay lifestyle on the international scene in the latter third of the twentieth century. The author was a male model and film actor who turned to international intelligence service during the Vietnam War era, a career that started off in the stratosphere as an SR71 photo-reconnaissance jet pilot and moved on to more earth-hugging intelligence and diplomatic service in Asia and the Middle East. Although coming late in his late twenties to the gay scene, the author's sexual encounters and experience blossomed quickly in the exotic, sexually free, risk taking, and pre-AIDS environment of Bangkok, Thailand. Flying High, Diving Deep covers the high points of the author's sexual experiences in twenty-five short stories that are chronologically laid out. These stories take the reader from the author's male-male initiation in Bangkok in the mid 70s through sexual encounters during stints in Japan and the Middle East to the concluding years of the last decade of the twentieth century as he thought his gay life activity was waning, only to be joyfully reawakened. The author provides a no-holds-barred, insightful, never shirking from bittersweet remembrances series of snapshots that move from the free, sensual, "anything goes" international gay scene through the realities of the horror of AIDS to appreciation for the deep, lasting relationships that arise from the world of men loving men. This is the expanded relaunch of the eXcessica anthology, Flying High. REVIEW: "This well-written memoir of illicit bliss will arouse and titillate you. It is rather like reading just the sexy bits of a historical novel. You can read this book as erotica (it's hot!) or you can read it as history (it's thought provoking, to say the least). The poignancy of the young man in the beginning of the book contrasts with the power of the older man at the end, and leaves the reader both thoughtful and enlightened." -Carole, Rainbow Reviews

Nothing zings directly to the phallic like a well-hefted cigar. A distinctive, hard, yet soft cylindrical shape to be held, fondled, and sucked lovingly and sensuously in the mouth, providing not only strong sensations of taste, smell, and feel, but also a touch of the hedonist. A throb of risk to one's health with red hot heat at its tip. The authors provide a panoply of gay male short stories that are varied in length, style, mood, and subject matter, all centering on celebrating the "good ole'" cigar, and its effect on male-male relationships, in all its phallic glory. So, sit back, with or without your lover at your side, light up, and enjoy a good smokin' time. The writing partners, habu and Sabb, living continents apart, one on the East coast of the United States and the other on the East coast of Australia, have met in cyber space and woven this collection of twelve, cigar based, erotic fantasies. WARNINGS: Contains M/M, cigars, BDSM, more cigars, graphic language, even more cigars, fetish, sex toys, anal sex, group sex, reluctance, and cigars.

Konan, the great barbarian, is legendary throughout the ancient world for his huge size, his strength, and his appetites. He is a famed lover of men, taking them wildly and often, and in his wild, free, wanderings and adventures he finds many men who have longed to meet him, and be fully known by him. But there are also men he meets who have whatever magic it is that makes Konan want them dangerously too. And none of them are ever the same again once they have been taken and filled by what the great barbarian has to offer. This book combines the anthology Barbarian Tales Book One with the two novellas, Barbarian Tales Book Two - Journeys Begin, in which Konan discovers men and tells how he grew to be such a giant of a man, and Barbarian Tales - The Inheritance. This book was previously published by eXcessica Publishing LLC as KONAN!. Warnings: Lots of wild, untamed, graphic M/M sex scenes, graphic language, anal sex, group sex, multiple partners, orgies, bondage, domination, submission, reluctance, non consent, and some violence in context.

Having been duped by a Baltimore car chopping gang and dominated by the gang's leader, young Rick Hernandez is left holding the bag on a police raid and enters a no-win probation period. He must stay away from the gang, but the gang leader isn't going to let that happen. Additionally, the boyfriend of Rick's mother wants more from Rick than from Rick's mother. But all Rick wants to do in life is fix cars. Dreaming of leaving Baltimore and all its pressures, Rick falls in with a cinematographer, Douglas Groton, who wants Rick to star in a gay male pornographic film, Journey to Mirage. This film takes fantasies Groton makes Rick weave during sexual encounters and films them as progressively intense sex scenes for the movie while the film crew travels across country from Baltimore to the Mirage Gay Male Art Film Festival held just to the west of Phoenix, Arizona. The filming of Rick's fantasies becomes increasingly intense and threatening during stops in central Virginia, Asheville, New Orleans, Dallas, and Amarillo, and Rick fears for his safety and future when Groton starts introducing another "star" into the photo shoots. At the urging of a member of the film crew, Rick begins to pull away from the mirage of the goal to become a movie star by way of a win for Journey to Mirage at the film festival and to redirect his interests back to auto mechanics. But pulling away leads to even more dangerous sexual adventures in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, which put Rick back on the road to Phoenix when the movie wins the festival grand prize and Rick becomes a box office draw. Only fate and the love of a man who is trying to save Rick from himself has a chance of stopping the relentless pull of the mirage of filmed sex in Rick's life.

This is the story of how the great barbarian, Konan, continued on his journey to the east, taking the road to Persepolis, the city of Xerxes, King of Persia, taking with him a sacred trust. And of how he met a young man from the country, Kasra, who had almost lost his life because of his youth and naiveté. And of how Konan saved Kasra and took him as his lover, and was reunited with an old friend, as a result of which Kasra discovered the complications of love. But for the barbarian the journey ends not only in carrying out the sacred duty he has been given, but in a challenge, and he must match wits with a giant Persian, an immortal, a man who is also a legend among the men of his time.

With it's cover suggestive of all thing fetish, this huge anthology is presented in a large format "coffee table book" style. A monster gay erotica anthology of 628 pages and over 80 stories from the pen of premier gay erotica anthologist habu, which explores the concept of gay male sexual fetishes. Included are stories indexed to 40 fetishes that meet the broadest definition of fetish: obsession with the unusual in sexual gratification. These serve a broader definition rather than a narrow one, because, at the end of the day, a fetish is very personal. It's what arouses and becomes obsessive and services the gratification needs of the individual. The 40 indexed fetishes (others beyond the indexed ones creep in, of course, and are included in the index at the back of the book) offered in the more than 80 stories of Fetish Galore! are more of a foundation and a beginning for gay male readers than a comprehensive "end all." For ease in locating your favorite fetishes, the stories of this anthology are arranged by primary story fetish alphabetically in the table of contents, and also alphabetically by story title in one index at the back of the book and by fetish in another index. The initial, uncategorized, signature "Fetish Galore" story is an unabashed tongue-in-cheek romp at including as many fetishes-over 40 in this case-in one story. If your favorite gay male fetishes are not included in this anthology, it may well be time for you to take up your pen and start writing fetish stories of your own.

A Mature Aged Gay Romance Collection. Fifty Seventy is a six-story anthology affirming and exploring the sexual relationships between men when one sex partner is fifty and the other seventy. These six stories are varied in not only time, place, and situation, but also in who is on top and who is on the bottom and how long their relationship has been going on. All, though, share the common thread of a fulfilled sexual relationship among mature men of certain ages. All of these stories are of men still getting pleasure from sex in their later years. We all grow old-if we're lucky-and, if we're honest with ourselves, we wonder if we will be one of the lucky ones one who can still get it up at ninety and enjoy a sex life. All of us who have enjoyed an active sex life wonder, with some sense of concern, how good sex can be at fifty, and whether there can be sex at all at seventy. And these are as much questions in the gay world as the hetero world. Add to that the question of the durability and sexual aspects of May-December relationships or, perhaps even more problematic, October-December relationships, and the concerns can be complex. But the possibilities can be interesting as well. Also available in e-book.

For fifty years men come to the island of Cyprus, a Mediterranean paradise split and war torn by a marathon ethnic struggle between Greek and Turk, to the villa where British novelist Lawrence Durrell wrote his acclaimed Alexandria Quartert. Each one comes pulled by his own desires and by the whisperings of the villa itself and each is enticed down to the Tree of Idleness café on the Bellapais square. There they ogle and are, in turn, ogled by the young Turkish Cypriot men there-and take those men back to the villa for hours of unfettered, wanton pleasure, oblivious to any threat of personal damage or to the rending of the delicate balance of the island's social structure.And it is not only the foreign visitors to Bellapais who are affected by the enticement woven by the Bellapais villa. The local men, as well, the young-and maturing and aging-men in the Tree of Idleness café are caught up in the constantly reweaving web of desire and wanton lust, island sexual customs, and doomed relationships.Just when it appears that the villa is willing to put the cycle to rest, to offer solace to those who have found each other again and chosen constancy over wantonness, the villa's enticing whisperings of the delights of the Tree of Idleness café down on the Bellapais square begin anew.

BarbarianSpy: Rough Sex: contains graphic language, m/m sex, fetish, and descriptions of reluctance, rough seduction and gay romance. These seventeen stories, in the second of habu's two "Spy Tails" anthologies, show an aspect of intelligence work very much in the vein of Graham Greene and John LeCarré but delving into spy craft operations that go well beyond where either of these authors dared to go. The reality of spying is that it isn't all Agent 007 glamour. There is a nasty, cynical, and even arousingly sexual underbelly to it, and these stories don't shy away from showing that, or from ignoring the difficult questions of the morality of taking advantage of the vulnerability and weakness of men who have a weakness for men in the pursuit of chits in the power games of nations. These stories not only show the substance of spy craft, but they also show how men are suborned to be U.S. intelligence Candy Store unit agents and then how they use other men to extract what their handlers want. If you are interested in the intersection of spy craft and man-on-man action, both volumes of habu's Spy Tails should be on your "must read" list.

The prolific gay male short story writer, habu, delivers the first of two volumes of spy tales spotlighting the use of male-on-male sexuality to serve intelligence gathering operations. The easiest, most assured way of collecting intelligence is not torture. It, rather, is the "giving" to someone, who knows what you want to know, what they want most in exchange for the information they know. And it is in being especially prepared to do so if what they want the most is illicit-that is, for instance, connected to male homosexuality. And you can be assured they will give you the most useful information and continue to give it to you if you continue to give them what they want to have, but cannot acknowledge they have gotten or want to have-and holding over their heads the threat of collapsing their whole world if they don't continue to cooperate. These sixteen stories show an aspect of intelligence work very much in the vein of Graham Greene and John LeCarré, but delving into spy craft operations that go well beyond where either of these authors dared to go. The reality of spying is that it isn't all Agent 007 glamour. There is a nasty, cynical, and even arousingly sexual underbelly to it, and these stories don't shy away from showing that, or from ignoring the difficult questions of the morality of taking advantage of the vulnerability and weakness of men who have a weakness for men in the pursuit of chits in the power games of nations. If you enjoy this collection, be sure to check out the upcoming habu's Spy Tails 002.

With Tails in the West, habu's series of gay male "Tails" anthologies moves to the area encompassing what is thought of as the Old West of the United States. Although the traditional American West is broader than this, the twenty-one stories in this collection are set in a north-to-south band of U.S. states stretching down from Idaho and Wyoming (with an eastern jaunt into Nebraska), down through Utah and Colorado (with an eastern jaunt into Kansas), to Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. The characters in these stories predominantly are cowboys, or the modern equivalent, and the themes center on male-male relationships. Although the stories are presented in alphabetical order by title, they fall into two categories: The Old West of the traditional cowboy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the West of the modern dayA theme running through many of the stories is the concept of the male brothel, often set at a ranch or a town saloon. The reader will find both Old West and current West stories including these settings. These arise from a phenomenon of the Old West that has continued to today. There weren't many women in the Old West, particularly on the range where cowboys worked. It was a lonely life, though, and one where fit and sexually prime men found only other men around to satisfy their natural needs. Therefore the homosexual lifestyle, although always kept below the surface, was not unknown. Male brothel ranches can be found throughout this region even today if one knows where to look for them. Habu has conjured up some to entertain you with in his stories.

The Mediterranean evokes visions of sensuality, crystal blue water, beaches, lush vegetation, "whatever you like" lifestyles, and hot-blooded Latin men. It evokes that for the author habu, at least, who lived several years on the island of Cyprus and enjoyed life to its fullest there.In this thirty-story anthology, several of the stories having never been published before, habu invites you into the Mediterranean gay male lifestyle as played out in the countries swirling around this inland sea. The stories start in Portugal, which isn't in the Mediterranean but is Mediterranean in feel and lifestyle, and, from there, moves to Spain, Monte Carlo, Italy, Corsica, Malta, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, and Libya in a whirlwind journey of hot all-men action.

Warning BarbarianSpy Xtreme: rough sex, gay DP, and possible reluctance. One of the rarer niche fetishes to find in gay male erotica stories is the act of double penetration (DP), two men inside another man at the same time. The fetish is one that frequently is included in the writing of habu, if only as a minor element of a story. In Doubled Again, coming three years after the initial launch of his successful and recently reissued Doubled anthology, habu provides a collection of his most recent writings that include gay male DP scenes. Combined in this twenty-four story anthology, with forty-eight double penetration scenes, are new, never-before-published stories focusing directly on DP sex, including "Bangkok Defection," "Club Doblar," "Handed On," and "Horrid Bliss." Habu has also ferreted out DP scenes from his longer marketplace e-books for your focused enjoyment. These includes scenes from his "Death in . . ." books, featuring a willing DP participant, promiscuous detective Clint Folsom. Scenes are also included from the novellas Gotta Keep Trying, Gilded Cage, Brambleton, and The Indian Prince. The remaining short stories provided are ones where, typically, the sensuality of the story climaxes in a double penetration scene. If this is one of your fetishes in gay male stories, you need not dig for it yourself. Habu has provided yet another meaty DP collection for your reading pleasure.

Warning BarbarianSpy Xtreme: contains graphic double penetration as well as some non graphic violence and initial reluctance. For a seeker of stories featuring one of the most extreme gay male fetishes, double anal penetration, the hunt is often a frustrating one that requires extensive research for sometimes only tertiary satisfaction. That hunt is over. This anthology provides twenty-five stories by the prolific erotica author habu that each include at least one lesser or large scene of what you are looking for when you are in just "that" mood. These works run the gamut from being centered on men seeking that particular sexual coupling, like "Doubling Bets" and "The Exchange Students," to excerpts of scenes including that sexual act from habu's many previously published works. There is no need to search extensively for just a hint of a mention here and there-this anthology centers on this specific fetish, from the romantic to the exotic to the reluctant and dominated. So, if you are so inclined, get comfortable, open up Doubled and prepare to double your pleasure. There is nowhere else you are going to find a collection as extensive and as focused on this particular theme. This is a BarbarianSpy relaunch of the 2010 eXcessica anthology by the same name. For habu's double penetration stories written since 2010, see the follow-up anthology, Doubled Again, also available from BarbarianSpy in conjunction with this relaunch.

This fourth volume of habu's Grab Bag collections contains fifteen all-new short stories and continues a series trend of eclectic gay male settings and plotlines presented in the order in which they were delivered for writing by habu's fertile muse within the period of only a couple of months.This collection, atypically for habu, set mostly (but not wholly) in the United States, takes us from one coast to the other and through time from the antebellum period of the American South to the present and from schoolroom to jazz club.Included, in addition to story ideas just dropping from the sky, are stories inspired by e-mail exchanges with readers, requests for specific fetish stories, the exploration of a rarely written story specialty of habu's-the gay male fetish of sounding-in both story and essay, and stories written specifically for themed contests. As always, though, the reader will also be entertained with representative tastes of habu's signature gang banging, double penetration, domination, male prostitution, rough sex, older-younger, big black on small white, humor, bondage, twist endings, and gay romance themes.There might even be a vampire or two lurking about!

Steamy climates. Hot men. Sizzling man sex. This meaty fifty-story anthology takes you inside the world's tropical zone, roughly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, in a whirlwind introduction to some of the hottest and most exotic male-male action and varied tales of taking you could wish for. We have served up for you herein spicy platters of drama, amusement, pathos, domination, discovery, arousal, melting of reluctance, irony, and surprise: your porn stars gone wild, your jungle soldiers in search of adventure, your older men dominating young hunks, your sex-rocked yachts, your gay bordellos and male prostitutes on the prowl, your no-swim suit pools, your exotic sex nests, your hot night life and full-throttled spirals into seduction, and the realization of wild dreams and hot-blooded passion."So, pull on your Speedos (or not) and head for the tropical beaches of the Caribbean, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific to see how many ways, and in how many different hot and humid locales, you can be aroused and satisfied.

It isn't just the act of sex alone that can be rough for a gay male. The relationships involved and the whole circumstance in which one male comes together with another (or more than one) male to satisfy basic hungers can be explosive in both physical and emotional terms. In this compendium of fifty short stories, habu hones in on giving readers some scintillating examples of tales and circumstances-and sexual acts-that are on the rougher side in more than one dimension. This collection isn't for the faint of heart-but it's a must read for those who like their GM stories rough and raw, both physically and emotionally. This e-book is an expansion for BarbarianSpy of the eXcessica anthology published as Rough Rides.

Another fascinating historical erotica novel, from the master of Historical erotica, Dirk Hessian.What does an auxiliary member of the tsar's family do as the Bolsheviks reach out to strangle the last vestiges of White Russian society in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution? As others of the Russian nobility did, young Count Pyotr Romanov, sent by his family in St. Petersburg to the southern Russian city of Kazan to join the cadets of the Imperial Military Academy for safety, escapes from immediate peril to a false safety. Kazan proves not to be far enough, and by 1920 Pyotr, forced to rely on a grasping and controlling academy professor who initiates him in man love, is fleeing first to Novorossiysk, to be evacuated to the Crimea, and then, just as the Bolsheviks are poised to overrun that peninsula into the Black Sea, he is evacuated by sea to Constantinople. Along the way, and once spit out in Constantinople along with hundreds of other destitute White Russians, Pyotr lives by his wits and his ability to survive by using men who want to use him. During his struggle to survive he has also pursued the mysterious Katya Betskoya, who harbors a shocking secret and who he has saved from being trampled on the dock at Sevastopol before he is evacuated to Constantinople to live by selling his body on the streets, eventually becoming a chauffeur to an importer. From thence, he finds himself in the Turkish port of Smyrna, where, once again, he is put in physical danger and is caught up in another pogrom, this time pitting Turks against Greeks and Armenians. The illusive Katya appears here, this time in the role of Pyotr's savior, and he faces yet another need to evacuate to relative safety. While becoming less and less enchanted by the White Russian cause and more determined to remake himself into a new person and to win Katya, Pyotr gives himself over to the lusts of other men to survive and live against the backdrop of some of the most momentous events to occur in the Black Sea region in the 1920s. This is almost as much a history of the calamitous times as it is of the personal struggle to survive and thrive of a young nobleman in a time of revolution and chaos.

New York gay Homicide detective Clint Folsom, to the consternation of his partner and current lover, Danny Thompson, appears to be sinking ever deeper into his fetish for almost-constant, on-the-edge rough sex. Danny doesn't know half the danger Clint is in, though, when they are put on two cases, one the murder of a key witness in a mobster trial and the other a serial killer on a spree on the docks in lower Manhattan, and the victims all fall into Clint's demographic: sexually active, insatiable, and edgy bottoms who are in their late twenties or early thirties and blond, who have movie-star looks, and who cruise the gay bars of Chelsea and Christopher Street. Clint only begins to understand the danger himself as he sees the two cases begin to intersect-at him. He sinks deeper into the web of want and need as he struggles with the decision of keeping his discoveries about the cases to himself to hide his sexual binges from his partner and lover, Danny, or to not make the mistake his former partner and lover, Brad, did by investigating on his own and possibly winding up dead, as Brad did. This is the ninth detective mystery in the Clint Folsom series and is set, chronologically, right behind the fourth book, Death in Eden.

Grab Bag is a totally unthemed gay male anthology that exhibits the breadth and depth of the sometimes whacky and sometimes touching, but always creative and surprising, writing of that master of gay erotic storytelling, habu. In this "bag" are twenty stories that adhere to no uniformity of theme in time, space, locale, or message and that have never been published as stories before. As has become the hallmark of habu, this is a collection of tales (and tails) that are guaranteed to excite and stimulate-not just the mind. A true grab bag of surprises and pleasures, these offerings are sure to be savored more than once.

Warnings: BarbarianSpy Rough Gay Mystery/Romance: Contains M/M, BDSM, graphic language, fetish, sex toys, anal sex, group sex, and violent murder/crimes. In this second volume of the Clint Folsom Mysteries Compendium, which includes a previously unpublished Clint Folsom adventure, Death to the Past, the concluding months of Clint's life as an NPYD special homicide unit detective are chronicled. This four-book set, picking up a dozen years after the Death in Eden adventure that ended the first volume of the compendium, spins out the satyriasis influences of hedonism and sexual want and preference for rough-handling sex that developed in Clint in his early life. After several years of successful work in an NYPD unit using men's weaknesses to other men in closing criminal cases, Death in Key West takes Clint on what was supposed to be a vacation in Key West, Florida, on the yacht of the producer of many of his movie star parents' Hollywood movies. Clint isn't even in the air for very long, winging his way to the Keys, before he is both reunited with an old colleague and lover and being propelled into a murder case that dredges up his own past. This mystery solved, he is on the move beyond New York City again in his professional capacity, first, on loan to the Colorado authorities in Death in the Rockies to try to prevent a murder of a key witness at a male brothel dude ranch, and then to Hollywood, in Death in Hollywood, to come to terms with his own parents' mysterious deaths twenty-one years earlier. In a concluding, never-before-published adventure, Death to the Past, Clint races back to Manhattan to help save his new life-partner, Hank Halston, who, while under cover, has disappeared into the world of old-style gangster families. The compendium ends with Clint finding a love of his early life and beginning a new phase of his life.

A Gay Male Anthology of Firsts What gay male can ever forget his first full-blown sexual experience, which can be a particularly memorable first time given the conventions of society? It can be the culmination of long-held frustration, or it can be casual and come as a complete surprise. It can be traumatic, or it can have been sought. It can be imprisoning or releasing, disappointing or far beyond the wildest dream. It can be prearranged or ritualistic, or it can be spontaneous and unexpected by both parties. The experience can be instigated by a predator, a new lover, or a savior, or it can have been initiated by the first timer himself. The situation and venue can be sordid; or off-the-cuff convenient; or involve silken sheets, candles, champagne, and prolonged seduction and foreplay. But for most men, the one thing it cannot be is forgotten. This anthology provides a treasure trove of thirty-six short stories of separate, varied "first time" gay male experiences, from the stalked to long anticipated, from the romantic to the brutal, for the young or not so young. The one central theme of all of these stories, however, is that the experiences depicted all result in the beginning of a new lifestyle, not the ending of a world. This is an expanded relaunch of the eXcessica habu anthology, Across the Threshold. REVIEW: "Reading this anthology was an experience I found oddly addictive. Even though it is a relatively long book, like chocolate, it was never boring, and I was sorry to get to the end." -Carole, Rainbow Reviews

BarbarianSpy Extreme: BDSM, Rough gay sex, domination and control.Includes the habu BDSM classic "Dark Angel Sounding"Sounding: Ultimate Control provides, in paperback, six stories by habu of what possibly is the most intimate and dominating sex act one man can perform on another, one that is so intimate and extreme that it is only rarely written about. The wanding of another man's urethral canal is a fetish of domination, trust, and control. One slip of the wand and a man can be ruined. Few engage in the activity, but those who do know that it can provide the ultimate arousal and sexual satisfaction.The first work in this anthology is an expanded version of "Dark Angel Sounding," appearing here in paperback form for the first time ever. Probably habu's most controversial and popular previously published work-"Dark Angel Sounding" certainly has generated more discussion than has anything he has published before. The story follows in intimate and detailed description, the deepening subjugation of a young man to the ultimate control of an older man-his Dark Angel."Career Guidance" is the story of a young-looking Hollywood star who has rebelled against always playing young, boyish roles by engaging in a life of debauchery, including publicly gossiped-about encounters in a car with a transvestite. His agent, as a last-chance measure, uses the controlling mechanism of sounding to put the young actor in his place and attempt to save his career as well as fulfill the long-frustrated sexual fantasies of the agent himself.In "Searching for It" a young sailor from Vancouver, who is on the East Coast of the United States for the first time in his life, working on a private yacht, goes searching for sexual relief in the gay district of New York near the docks area at the foot of Manhattan. He finds something he's never experienced before, the tease of a sounding-like technique, in a gay club and winds up kidnapped to be given the full sounding experience himself.A high-paid male prostitute is given a "punishment" assignment by his pimp to provide unusual and taxing services to a kinky doctor in "Prepped and Sounded." And "Roswell's Frontier Motel" brings an alien variation of sounding into the supernatural world for a highly unusual take on this form of male sex act.The concluding story, "Do You Trust Me?," takes the reader to the picturesque Italian harbor town of Positano, where a young fisherman and café singer shows that he's willing to do anything to leave Italy and break into movies-even a very specific kind of movie.
