Six stories of sex, love, and being young in the ‘90s, inspired by songs of the decade… My Strongest Weakness by Brighton Walsh It was supposed to be a one-time thing. No one would find out; no one would have to know. And then once turned into twice, and twice turned into several times a week, and now pierced, punk-loving, rebellious Tia Lanning is banging Mason Brooks, the big man on campus and Mr. All American. But banging him isn’t the problem. Falling for him is. Especially when he’s content to let her remain his dirty little secret. Worthwhile by Audra North Jill didn’t expect her semester in Leeds to start with getting dumped by her boyfriend. Especially since she only came to England to be with him. Two weeks in, all she wants to do is go home. Finding love with someone new is definitely not an option. But when she literally stumbles into grad student Stuart’s arms, her experience abroad becomes a lot more worthwhile. Creep by Lorelie Brown Roni lives for the raves in Oakland’s warehouse district. Dancing till dawn in white gloves under black lights breathes life into her soul. Nothing will get her kicked out of her underground world faster than turning over Skittles, her dealer. She refuses to provide info about the underage runaway to his big brother Tom. But Tom is going to find Skittles with or without Roni’s cooperation. But Tom is special. He’s rich, handsome and bold. Roni wishes she was special. And like the rave scene she loves, nothing lasts forever. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Rebecca Grace Allen Rory Stone's days of grunge and poetry are behind her, her reality now in bags of Arabian brew, and counting the change in the tip jar. Can indie singer James Griffith rock her muse back into the present? The Belle vs. the BDOC by Amy Jo Cousins Shelby Summerfield is a gold star lesbian, even if she doesn’t look like one. Florence Truong is the only other dyke at Carlisle College in 1993 not wearing plaid flannel, and Shelby sets her sights on seduction. But instead of a delightful tumble in the sheets, Florence calls her out for being a straight girl. With seduction off the table, Shelby settles for revenge for her humiliation. But if all she wants is to show up her campus rival, how come Shelby can't stop herself from saving Florence instead of annihilating her? Little Red Thong by Jennifer Blackwood Emily Jones is ready to embark on the most epic spring break trip of her college career with her bestie, twin brother, and her brother’s best friend, Chase. Chase has been in love with Emily since the eighth grade when she kicked his ass in laser tag. He’s not going to piss away his last chance to tell her how he feels. When the group decides to play a game of Spring Break BINGO that involves body shots, a red thong, and secret hookups, this is the perfect catalyst to get him out of the friend zone. But as things get heated, they have to decide if twenty years of friendship is worth putting in jeopardy because of a game, and what will happen when they hit dry land.**

How many secrets can one house hold? In the case of The Magnolia, the secrets are what keep it alive. Only the wealthy are granted access to see what happens beyond the iron gates. Wildest dreams come true, fantasies and satisfaction are guaranteed. No price is too high for the ultimate taste of desire.Eight authors take you behind the walls... the only question is, can you keep a secret?

Beltane-it's celebrated on May 1, still a pagan holiday, which went on to be eclipsed by the Communist Bloc May Day celebrations. Because Beltane celebrations rarely made the news and when they did, it was with an uncomfortable communistic association, it has faded into the background and been largely forgotten. Until now. We at Hellfire Publishing propose to bring back Beltane in all its dark wonder, in this, our first anthology. You'll read terrifying tales of the holiday-and not just the way Americans celebrate it. Eerie Beltane customs from the world over are submitted here, as Mr. Rod Serling used to say, "...for your approval." What we want to know is... Can you approve of something while hiding under the covers? What was that noise? Is the house settling or was that a footstep? And who's that knocking at the door...at three in the morning? Listen, listen...was that the window sliding slowly upward in the spare room? The answers to these questions and many more may be discovered in this anthology...but a word of caution... Don't ask a question that you really don't want the answer to. A portion of publisher proceeds from the sale of this E-anthology will go to the benefit of...St Jude Children's Research HospitalSome of the authors have opted to donate their shares as well to this more than worthy cause.

This book collects each original short story published in the online zine Apex Magazine. The stories are all dark SF or dark Fantasy. Contains work from pros such as Theodora Goss, Lavie Tidhar, Ekaterina Sedia, and others.

100% of Digital Profits will benefit St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital A glittering diamond, the promise of forever, and the hope that your future in-laws will move to a galaxy far, far away…sounds like a decadent recipe for eternal happiness, doesn’t it? All girls dream about their wedding day, fantasize about each and every gooey-delicious detail. It’s so easy to get swept away by the champagne bubbles and swallowed up by our dreams. But we all know the magical path toward happily ever after is not always sprinkled with pixie dust. Sometimes, we stumble over our plans for a perfect future and choke on the words promising forever. We watch as the path takes a defiant turn away from our blissful paradise because everybody has secrets, skeletons, and fears. And we realize that being drunk in love isn’t always enough.
