At the end of the Victorian era, a handful of public intellectuals advocated for tolerance of the 'Uranian'-a man who loved other men. Some went so far as to propose that these 'intermediate sexes' might, in fact, constitute a totally different species, even serve as intrepid guides in our march toward an uncertain future.
The five speculative stories in Theodore McCombs's kaleidoscopic collection span several possible worlds, teasing the boundaries between coexisting realities and taking up the question of queer difference from one surprising vantage after another.
Each story unfolds with the depth and complexity of an entire universe; each is inhabited by characters learning to divest from a society that has marked and rejected them. Discerning which dreams of Western civilization to hold fast to and which to leave behind, these outsiders set their gazes on new horizons and prepare for the changes to come. Arch but tender, clear-eyed and compassionate, Uranians brilliantly illustrates the vital role that queerness plays in every possible version of our world.
It should have been a paradise cruise for me and the girls of Supernatural Inc. A luxury cruise ship, clear skies, fun and games, a little slap and tickle, and let's not forgot the gourmet buffets!
But that glorious vacation is interrupted by a report of a mysterious ship appearing at Shelnora Island with dazed and confused passengers aboard. And when those passengers start dropping like flies, dying under bizarre, seemingly paranormal circumstances, panic sweeps the tropical isle. The police and authorities are stumped, paralyzed by fear and red tape to find the truth about the ghost ship and its ghastly passengers.
So it's up to me and my lovely ladies to brave the ghost ship, find out what's actually causing these deaths, and who's behind them . . . if we can avoid joining the growing list of victims along the way!
Life on Shelnora Island seemed to be perfect for me. A tropical paradise, great food, and beautiful women at the local sorority . . . until I crossed paths with a mysterious murder and sightings of an honest-to-God werewolf!
Now I'm surrounded by three beautiful women, all drawn into the mystery, and it turns out that my new dog is a smoking hot shapeshifter. Life's gotten crazy, but maybe, if we all work together, we'll find out who the real killer is.
Could it be the curmudgeonly divemaster with a grudge? The sleazy resort owner drumming up sensationalism for tourist bucks? The mysterious tribesman with a grudge against developers? Or is it an actual werewolf?
Maybe we'll live long enough to find out!
Six months ago, a series of murders brought us together, a trio of beautiful, resourceful women, a smoking hot shapeshifter, and little old me, here on glorious, sunny Shelnora Island. And ever since, we've stuck together, investigating mysteries and living life to its fullest.
But now, a new series of bizarre deaths plague our tropical paradise. Even more terrifying and gruesome than the werewolf killer, with corpses torn apart and stitched back together, missing couples, and a mysterious ancient tome. And through it all, the police seem powerless.
Looks like it's time for Supernatural Inc. to get to the bottom of it all, assuming we don't die in the process!
Raised and trained by The Asylum Fight Club's most infamous owner, Reed Dane is almost untouchable. Might sound dope, but there are disadvantages to his 'privileged' status. His guardian's reputation makes a serious relationship impossible-turns out the club's members are addicted to breathing-and the one man Reed truly wants sees him only as a stray his former lover brought home.
An endless string of one-night stands lacks the intimacy Reed craves, but at least edgy post-fight hookups distract him from what he'll never have. Until he takes a wrecking ball to the walls that set him apart.
Curtis Smith is a lot of things-MMA fighter, club owner . . . son of a drug lord-but one thing he's not is prepared to face temptation exploding past his carefully built boundaries. Reed is forbidden, to him most of all, but resisting what they both want becomes impossible with the sub challenging him at every turn. And with his past threatening everything The Asylum has been built to protect, Curtis can't afford to be addicted to Reed's brand of candy coated sin.
When his stolen time runs out, all that will be left behind for Reed is a memory . . . and his heart.

Scandalous headlines threaten to turn Jamie Kent from a pop star to a pariah on the regular, but this latest one is a little too close for comfort. The Asylum Fight Club seems like a good place to hide out . . . until he has to prove he belongs-deep in a lifestyle with a contract and rules he breaks within the first five minutes. Staying means complete surrender, but a lifetime scripting love songs didn't prepare him to give his heart to the one man who claims everything he has to offer.
Reputation has its own kind of power in a place where pain and pleasure depend on who's in control. Entangled in the lives of those he'd give anything to protect, Noah Leonov rarely takes chances, but the hardened fighter refuses to abandon the vulnerable new sub to vultures who could tear his life apart with a camera flash. With the cage where he spent two years fresh in his mind, Noah won't trap the man he loves in his brutal world. Jamie deserves the glamour and fame, where he can have more than a broken man can provide.
Neither man ever had the choice to decide their own destiny. Imprisoned by the roles they're forced to play, their key to freedom might be to refuse to let go.
Contains mature themes.
If there were an emergency number for adulthood, Matt Kincaid would have dialed it months ago. Raising his kid brother alone is already an uphill battle, nevermind when an ugly gang initiation lands the teen in lockup. Again. Only, this time for a hate crime against a local fight club, where settling debts isn't taken lightly. When the club offers to let Matt risk everything in a long-shot match with a man who's as brutally handsome as he is tough, he jumps at the chance.
There are no limits to what Lawson 'The Law' Gaumond will do to protect the club he and his former lovers built. An inner-city sanctuary where Anniston Falls' gay leather culture thrives, The Asylum Fight Club isn't an easy place, but it's home. Taking on a local hothead whose younger brother vandalized the space isn't high on his priority list, but there's something about Matt that cries out for a firm hand.
When renewed gang violence erupts, spilling blood over The Asylum, Lawson and Matt must confront their pasts to find a way forward. Gunshots and knives should be harder to survive than this rough love, but coming to the ring armed with nothing but the truth is their greatest challenge of all.
Contains mature themes.
