The only problem is, instead of the reverend marrying them, he pulls a gun on them, forcing them to run like hell.

Cass and Ken fled their wedding when an assassin tried to kill them. They ran from Los Alamos to Las Vegas to Massachusetts and finally to the flooded remains of New Orleans.

Cass has problems of her own when she discovers that a friend is in jeopardy because of her. Can she organize a rescue attempt?

Lipomorph is a drug that lets you sculpt yourself. It's how so many female celebrities in the mid-2010s remained so thin while having such large butts.

My name is Guillaume Lanval, but most people me Gill (and also Henry - long story!) and this is my pretty epic tale about how I braved the cliffs of Dover to become king, how I finally got the girl, and experienced some magical shit along the way.

A teenager stares at his reflection and sees the Milky Way. A motorbike prowls and growls like a wild animal. A whale sings a song to end loneliness. Philip Ridley's collection of short stories became an instant cult classic when first published in 1990. Magical, poetic, heartbreaking, and humorous, the sequence explores childhood, family life, romantic love in all its aspects - lost, unrequited, obsessional - and does so with a haunting mixture of both the barbaric and the beautiful. This edition includes two new stories, "Alien Heart" and "Wonderful Insect".

My name is Guillaume, but you can call me Gill, and despite what you hear, this story might be my sister’s fault.

You probably won't like my story. Heck, I'm not sure if I even like it myself. Between getting burned at the stake and being drowned, almost twice, it's quite a lot to swallow. I'm not sure where it all went wrong. Everything was going fine my freshman year of college as a history major. I had a full-time job as a paramedic and any girl I wanted was mine. When tragedy struck our family, I found myself in France with my sister, Jules. And she just had to touch that mirror. She had to get us transported to the middle ages. 1155 A.D., to be exact. What. The. Hell.

Despite the most ruthless attempts of the US government, Dr. Rob MacAulay is not a refugee. Absolved of all crimes, which he never committed in the first place, Rob is still very much in the limelight, albeit on new soil. Only this time, Rob’s husband, along with two headstrong horses, a young neighbor girl, and the faculty of the Harvard physics department all pull him in unfamiliar directions: teaching, researching, or harnessing the physics of the universe and controlling his tendency to “flinch”. But Rob’s strange power has an unintended effect on those around him.

Alexandra Brontay: a pear-shaped imperfect in a sterile, antisocial 23C London. Her world is like the city, an uncomfortable hotchpotch of the wrecked and the wondrous. The remains of iconic buildings sit next to towering dome structures, bastions of hard light that sink a mile underground. Down there the past is bastardised, sanitised, and reimagined for mass consumption via the hyperreal systems in every apartment and workplace. Inter-human contact is minimal and strictly rationed. Something inside Brontay hates what has been imposed upon her from birth to the core and she yearns for escape....
