Book excerpt: Written by Matthew Todd, editor of Attitude, the UK's best-selling gay magazine, Straight Jacket is a revolutionary clarion call for gay men, the wider LGBT community, their friends and family. Part memoir, part ground-breaking polemic, it looks beneath the shiny facade of contemporary gay culture and asks if gay people are as happy as they could be - and if not, why not? In an attempt to find the answers to this and many other difficult questions, Matthew Todd explores why statistics show a disproportionate number of gay people suffer from mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts and behaviour, and why significant numbers experience difficulty in sustaining meaningful relationships.

Book excerpt: A comment from the author, "This book started as a dream. After I woke up, the idea of the murder of the psychic took shape and then the story started to enfold." Even if you are mildly interested or are curious about Metaphysics, you should enjoy this book. There are so many possibilities that one of them could even apply to you and your life. If you don't believe in the paranormal, you will enjoy this as a fantasy. Have you ever had a bad time in your life where you asked, Why me'? This book may answer your question. It's possible that there is such a thing as reincarnation and that could be the why' in your question. You could have done something in another life that caused that bad situation in this life. If you think you can get away with a crime, Ann Davis tells you, "You may think that some criminals have escaped from the justice system. I really believe that they have not escaped from the Higher Power and will be punished." We must all pay for the bad or negative things we do in whatever lives we live. If we live decent lives, we are rewarded with a decent next life. After all, do we really want to, possibly, live a miserable life; even if it is in a future life? We are given free will at birth. We have the choice to live positive or negative lives. Think about what you are doing to others, as well as to yourselves.

Book excerpt: Sixteen-year-old Bert Rosenbaum is living in the Bronx with his family when his brother, Philip, has his first psychotic breakdown. Philip communicates with extraterrestrials through radio stations only he can hear, discovers a homosexual plot to control the world, and burns Bert's cherished Dylan albums to protect him from evil subliminal messages. Haunted by the shadow of his brother's madness, Bert graduates from college, lands a job in the Department of Sewers, and settles into a small, dingy Manhattan apartment. Confused by his simultaneous attraction to a male coworker and a married woman, stuck in a job that bores him, and surrounded by an odd assortment of neighbors whose troubled lives affect his own, Bert becomes convinced he is following in his brother's footsteps. When three space aliens arrive, Bert's fears seem to be realized. At first menacing, though eventually claiming his friendship, the aliens provide a hilarious spoof on contemporary American culture. Yet whether they are real or imagined, through them Bert becomes ready to take control of his life, come to terms with his sexual identity, and embark upon his first serious relationship. In this poignant yet comic tour de force, Eugene Stein creates a phantasmagoric Manhattan, a city where craziness is manifested everywhere, and where alienation displaces family and community. Straitjacket & Tie is the bold and memorable introduction of Eugene Stein's expansive talents as a novelist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depictions of Asian American men as effeminate or asexual pervade popular movies. Hollywood has made clear that Asian American men lack the qualities inherent to the heroic heterosexual male. This restricting, circumscribed vision of masculinity—a straitjacketing, according to author Celine Parreñas Shimizu—aggravates Asian American male sexual problems both on and off screen. Straitjacket Sexualities: Unbinding Asian American Manhoods in the Movies looks to cinematic history to reveal the dynamic ways Asian American men, from Bruce Lee to Long Duk Dong, create and claim a variety of masculinities. Representations of love, romance, desire, and lovemaking show how Asian American men fashion manhoods that negotiate the dynamics of self and other, expanding our ideas of sexuality. The unique ways in which Asian American men express intimacy is powerfully represented onscreen, offering distinct portraits of individuals struggling with group identities. Rejecting "macho" men, these movies stake Asian American manhood on the notion of caring for, rather than dominating, others. Straitjacket Sexualities identifies a number of moments in the movies wherein masculinity is figured anew. By looking at intimate relations on screen, power as sexual prowess and brute masculinity is redefined, giving primacy to the diverse ways Asian American men experience complex, ambiguous, and ambivalent genders and sexualities.

Book excerpt: 'If God is too indifferent, or too non-existent to take care of His creation, then clearly it's up to Me.'Morgen Tanjenz is a lawyer with an overactive sense of justice. His mission in life is to reward the virtuous, punish the ignorant and avenge those who won't avenge themselves. His favourite pastime is 'life sculpture' - anonymously intervening in the lives of strangers to change their destiny in ways he thinks they deserve.But Morgen isn't the only one changing lives in the city. A serial killer is on the prowl and taunting the police in letters to the local rag. But, as the body count rises, Detective Sergeant Blacksnake Fowler can hardly focus on the job with so many distractions: his boss hates him, his deputy is trying to undermine him and the woman he loves is having an affair.In the cicada-throbbing heat of a Sydney summer, the threads of a strange story become entangled in a wild conclusion no one will see coming. 'a ripsnorter of a ride through the dark heart of the burbs... may just be Australia's answer to American Psycho.' Kirsten Krauth, just_a_girl 'Sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing, and always compelling... with a super-original premise and a one-of-a-kind protagonist'. Tony Wilson, Making News 'A disturbingly good read. Unnerving and darkly comic.' Stuart Quin, Ealing Studios Australia

Book excerpt: The story you are about to embark on is about the life of me, Shelly Allard. Each page is filled with drama as it contains the horrific things I've been through both as a child and as an adult. There is molestation, rape, drug abuse, and mental illnesses. During my-trials I lost my children., I became homeless, and I was even brought as low as to be led to prostitution, which brought me to time spent in prison. Over time, and with great support, I have overcome my addiction. I have gathered together her a home, food to eat, clothes to wear, and the never ending love of a Spanish man. Finally I have developed self-esteem. I have become aware of the people who love me and want good things for me. I am beginning to love myself. As an extra added treat, the ending is to die for. I mean, why should I wait for God to bring a out his revenge on those twisted souls that took advantage of me, when I have the power to do it at my fingertips. I hope you enjoy reading this even half as much as I've enjoyed writing it."
