Do Not Feed The Clown is a box full of satirical delights and irreverent parodies. Consisting of 34 short works, it highlights the absurdities of our socio-political climate, tackles the mayhem of our news cycle, and highlights the inconsistencies of our cultural norms.

Scarred is not for the squeamish. A poignant debut about serial killers on the streets of Sydney, it explores the addictiveness of vengeance and the tragic mistakes made by the misguided.

Ethereal: an intriguing tale of lust, confusion and sex. Sheena is starting life over again, but has she learnt from the errors of her past?

Banned for over eighty years in the west and still illegal in Kyrgyzstan, the anonymously written My Secret Life is as scandalous now as it was when first published in the 1880's. Edited and compiled into eleven volumes years after the author had died and decades after the diary had had its last entry, the sexual escapades of Walter, a privileged London gentleman is nothing less than astonishing. In raw descriptive accounts of a personal obsession with women, Walter takes us with him on his travels through the "baudy houses" of the slums, to musty European bars and to the servant quarters of friends and relatives (whilst not neglecting the company of those friends and relatives along the way); My Secret Life is a rare insight into the lives of peoples from opposite worlds. Walter fills in the gaps that Dickens left out and leaves us a rich understanding of the dreams and reality of Victorian Britain.

Perhaps one of the most plagiarised novels of all time - and definitely one of the most pornographic, The Romance of Lust written between 1873 and 1876 has endured countless reproductions in the form of excerpts, translations and rescripts by assumed authors but throughout it all has survived - as in this edition - in its complete text of the original four volumes. From banned and burnt to legitimatized as an historical piece of writing, The narrative and language reads as fresh as if it were modern erotica and still possesses the unique ability to shock, arouse and make you laugh all at the same time.
