The Library of Lost Things
Welcome to the Library of Lost Things, where the shelves are stuffed with books that have fallen through the cracks—from volumes of lovelorn teenage poetry to famous works of literature long destroyed or lost. They’re all here, pulled from history and watched over by the Librarian, curated by the Collectors, nibbled on by the rats. Filed away, never to be read. At least, until Thomas, the boy with the secret, comes to the Library. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Stories to Sing in the Dark
The speculative shines bright in the dark with these stories by Matthew Bright: a boy with a secret begins work at a strange library housing all the books never written; Dorian Gray's love of beauty struggles in the face of AIDs-era San Francisco and the Castro; the tomb of the Empress is adrift in space and hungry for the concubines aboard her; two men in an old film finally realize that they are trapped but still they seek the means for finally declaring their love for each other. These and other tales of the queer fantastic should be the perfect bedtime read.
Gents
Return to an era of foggy back alleys and Macassar oil in every man's hair; Gents collects twenty erotic tales (most original to this volume) set in a ribald and risque Victorian era. A glorious cadre of authors offers readers tales of noblemen and servants, rakes and cads, all partaking in steam and sweat.
Mr Punch
The puppet looked just like the ones you see on a seaside holiday. But this Mr Punch had taken on a murderous life of his own.
Matthew for the Sunday School Teacher
In this brief commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, Mr. Bright has attempted to bring out the most teachable elements of the gospel. It is not intended to be exhaustive but understandable for the volunteer Sunday School teacher. Having been a teacher for over fifty years, the author knows the need for such reference material. This book is not a "how to" guide but a presentation of the gospel itself as the most important source of teaching material. He believes that Bible knowledge is more important than style or method.

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore
Lydia Smith, a clerk at the Bright Ideas bookstore, calls the lonely regulars who spend every day marauding the store's overwhelmed shelves "BookFrogs." When Joey Molina, a young BookFrog, kills himself in the bookstore's upper room, he bequeaths his meager worldly possessions to her. Trinkets and books; the detritus of a lonely, uncared for man. But they seem to contain a hidden message. As Lydia untangles the mystery of Joey's suicide, she unearths a long buried memory from her own violent childhood.
Bright Stanley
Far below the waves a little fish called Stanley lived with the rest of his shoal. They were the brightest, sparkliest fish in the whole of the deep, dark sea. One morning Stanley woke up rather late. "Coo-ee! It's me-ee!" he called to his friends as usual. But the reef was strangely quiet!
Steampunk Universe
Fiction has a special role in the way we relate to each other. Fiction can take us outside of our own experience and give us a small hint of what it's like to be someone else. Speculative fiction - including steampunk - has always been a metaphorical mirror to our own society, allowing us to see ourselves and our behaviors from the outside in ways that we otherwise couldn't. It's not magic. It's the interworking of dozens of finely machined gears. It's the craftswoman adjusting the tension on a spring so it doesn't break. It's the stoker making sure the furnace fires stay burning. It's the conductor collecting tickets, the passengers watching the landscape roll by, the excited child standing next to the engineer who gets to pull the cord and hear the train's steam whistle. It might not be magic, but it's still amazing. Especially with a project like Steampunk Universe, making an anthology of steampunk stories that feature diverse characters who are disabled or aneurotypical. Join editor Sarah Hans, our cover artist James Ng, and contributors Ken Liu, Jody Lynn Nye, Maurice Broaddus, Malon Edwards, Emily Cataneo, Pip Ballantine and nine others today.
Bright Bursts of Colour
'Matt Goodfellow is a fresh voice on the children's poetry scene.' (Pie Corbett) What if cats had flavoured fur or if you swallowed the sun?
