This book opens the most adventurous and passionate Chapter in the history of Humankind: Aviation. Aviation in our modern world is one of the latest magnificent enterprises, a kind of emblematic window through which we can cast a glance into the future. Into the future, since the aviation industry already applies technical, organisational and administrative solutions which in other walks of life will be utilised only after years or decades. The airplanes have become so swift and safe that flying has turned from a reckless adventure into public transport. Next to cities, airports have been built, from where every minute airplanes take off and depart to all the four corners of the world. The o...
Allah's Spacious Earth is a stunningly fresh and timely political dystopia that depicts the tragic yet very real consequences of tensions between majority populations and Muslim minorities in the Western world. The novel is set in an imagined future where anti-Muslim sentiment and political pressure lead to a community being cut off from the rest of society. Told from the perspective of Nasim, a young Muslim living in the Zone—an urban area within one of the states forming the Pan-European Federation—the story follows his journey as he struggles with the restrictions imposed upon him along with the expectations of his community. In the tradition of Michel Houellbecq's Submission, Allah’s Spacious Earth is a powerful novel of ideas that brilliantly captures a growing fear in Western societies and its devastating fallout.

From the beginning, horror has been part of the cinema landscape. Despite some of the earliest genre films with gay directors such as F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu) and James Whale (Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, Bride of Frankenstein), LGBTQIA characters have rarely been portrayed in full view. For decades, filmmakers have included "coded" content in their films with the homosexual experience translated into censor-friendly subtext for consumption by general audiences. Gradually, LGBTQIA characters and themes have moved from the background to the foreground as the horror genre has grown along with its audience's tastes and attitudes. Likewise, more and more LGBTQIA writers and directors have beg...
