Hurt people hurt people.Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer's assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He's blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

In the same wonderfully graphic tradition as "Flossie", "The Romance of Violette" tells the sexual coming of age of a naive but incredibly inquisitive young woman at the loving tutelage of our thirty-year-old narrator, Christian.When a young seamstress assistant takes refuge in the rooms of Christian, he is immediately enamoured with her beauty and innocence.

Those of my readers who peruse the following pages and expect to find a pretty tale of surpassing interest, embellished with all the spice which fiction can suggest and a clever pen supply, will be egregiously mistaken, and had better close the volume at once. I am a plain matter-of-fact man, and relate only that which is strictly true, so that no matter how singular some of my statements may appear to those who have never passed through a similar experience, the avouchment that it is a co...

If the writer was attempting to emulate De Sade, then the author has succeeded.'The Way of a Man with a Maid', as told by its main protagonist, Jack, recounts in graphic detail the 'training' and eventual sexual liberation of a number of young women who had previously spurned his advances. In the 'snuggery', Jack's well equipped room of de...

Unaccustomed to hurrying, the aristocratic young lady slowly ascended the steps, where a housemaid awaited her. 'Lady Tingle waits in the drawing room to welcome you, Miss'. 'Very well, you may show me through', replied Astrid languidly, dangling a small, blue parasol from her wrist. The house was cool, smelling pleasantly of lavender and wood polish. The fragrance of newly baked bread wafted through from some distant kitchen, making Astrid's finely cut nostrils twitch agreeably. Opening t...
