Soho by Richard Scott
Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader, 1.6MB
Overview: In this intimate and vital debut, Richard Scott looks into the places not everyone sees or chooses to see. Against the backdrop of London’s Soho, he creates an uncompromising portrait of love and shame, questioning our sense of the permissible and the perverse. Scott takes us back to our roots: childhood incidents, the violence our scars betray, forgotten forebears and histories. The hungers of sexual encounters are underscored by the risks that threaten when we give ourselves to or accept another. But the poems celebrate joy and tenderness, too, as in a sequence re-imagining the love poetry of Verlaine.

The collection crescendos to the title-poem, ‘Soho!’, where a night stroll under the street lamps becomes a search for ‘true lineage’, a reclamation of stolen ancestors, hope for healing, and, above all, the finding of our truest selves.

To Throw Away Unopened by Viv Albertine
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.8MB
Overview: What was I fighting for? Even now I’m not sure. Something so old and so deep, it has no words, no shape, no logic.

Every memoir is a battle between reality and invention – but in her follow up to Clothes, Music, Boys, Viv Albertine has reinvented the genre with her unflinching honesty.

To Throw Away Unopened is a fearless dissection of one woman’s obsession with the truth – the truth about family, power, and her identity as a rebel and outsider. It is a gaping wound of a book, both an exercise in blood-letting and psychological archaeology, excavating what lies beneath: the fear, the loneliness, the anger. It is a brutal expose of human dysfunctionality, the impossibility of true intimacy, and the damage wrought upon us by secrets and revelations, siblings and parents.

Drag Thing by Victor J. Banis
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI or AZW3 Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: In Victor J. Banis’s hilarious gender-bender send-up of the mutant superhero genre, hetero Peter Warren’s ambition is to design women’s dresses, and his most secret desire is to wear them. His cop wife, Teri, also secretly longs to see her hubby “dressed up,” but hasn’t yet found the right way to tell him.
