Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-creator, Joe Shuster

Devoted comic book fan Craig Yoe finds a long ago out-of-print smut magazine in a cardboard box in a used bookseller’s stall. It’s called Nights of Horror and the illustrations of Lois Lane look-alikes in disturbing scenarios looks oddly familiar to him. ‘These words leaped in a single bound to my mind: “Oh, my God, Joe Shuster!”. This is a book about a fan who saves the day… Read more

The Not So Invisible Woman

Entertainment publicist Suzanna Portnoy is sexy, single and searching in the city. But don’t think that this is some London spin-off of Sex and the City. No one’s looking for Mr. Big, and not even for Mr. Right. There’s only one man on the menu: Mr. Right Now.

This may only be her second erotic memoir (a continuation of her sizzling sexual trysts in The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker), but Suzanne is doing it again, and again…and again; strutting her stuff all over the internet’s underbelly for her next eager sex victim.

She somehow successfully manages to juggle a full-time job and single parenthood to two teenage sons, with a more than raging sexual appetite, that involves chat rooms, swingers’ clubs, naturist spas, doctor/patient role play, nipple play, kinky shopping sprees and all manner of boys and toys. It’s hard work being a part-time slut, but Portnoy is one of those few unabashedly cool and confident gals who manages to make it look quite glamorous. This is a light kinky read for those ladies out there looking for more from your average Chick Lit horde. Buy The Not So Invisible Woman online now.

FETISH by David Bramwell

This book is easily in the running towards being a fetish bible, as it encompasses everything from the facts and basics to the derivatives of fetishism, its histories and role models; not to mention it’s beautifully presented, with lots of colourful photographs and step-by-step images.

The same way Time Out is a guide to London’s seeing and doing pleasures, Fetish is that vastly informed, and includes things like terminologies, a fetish dictionary, recommended art, fiction, magazines, websites etc., and, of course, thorough coverings of all the different types of fetishes out there. It’s easily read and easily understood, making it an essential guide for the curious beginner, and is something you can go back to again and again for honest guidance. Visit Amazon for your copy of Fetish.
