The Edge of Discontent
After that kiss-Trudy's fingers went unconsciously to her lips-she could no longer pretend it was a simple attraction. Even now, she longed to know him more. The way he tasted was intoxicating. Thirty-seven-year-old Trudy Allen has just taken stock of her life and realized that she had been right all along; being a grown-up sucks. Just as she's resigned herself to giving up on finding any excitement in her life, an ex-co-worker shows up. And Matthew Kelly is more than willing to show her all the things she is missing out on. The only problem is Trudy's husband and kids. Never mind that her husband barely pays her any attention, and to her kids, she might as well be nothing more than an alarm...
A Bit of a Stretch
'Shocking, scathing, entertaining.' Guardian 'Incredibly compelling.' The Times 'Heart-breaking.' Sunday Times Where can a tin of tuna buy you clean clothes? Where is it easier to get 'spice' than paracetamol? Where does self-harm barely raise an eyebrow? Welcome to Her Majesty's Prison Service. Like most people, documentary-maker Chris Atkins didn't spend much time thinking about prisons. But after becoming embroiled in a dodgy scheme to fund his latest film, he was sent down for five years. His new home would be HMP Wandsworth, one of the largest and most dysfunctional prisons in Europe. With a cast of characters ranging from wily drug dealers to senior officials bent on endless reform, this powerful memoir uncovers the horrifying reality behind the locked gates. Filled with dark humour and shocking stories, A Bit of a Stretch reveals why our creaking prison system is sorely costing us all - and why you should care.

Taking Liberties
"Taking liberties launches an unflinching inquiry into how New Labour has systematically eroded our basic liberties, and the freedoms of the British people, amidst a climate of fear created by the media and the government." [box cover note].
The New Pulp
PULP IS DEAD... Or so we're told. Those dusty, cheaply printed paperbacks you knew and loved of old have lost their relevance. People don't want fast-paced adventure! They want dreary ten-volume collections of thousand-page tomes recounting the lives of the introspective and self-doubting. And yet a quick glance at the shelves today shows the spirit of action and heroism is alive and well in the modern imagination. Abaddon presents three of their best stories of derring-do, relentless violence and sheer pluck. In Simon Spurrier's The Culled, a special ops soldier murders his way across a post-apocalyptic continent to find the one he loves. In Al Ewing's El Sombra, a maddened poet, left for dead in the desert, returns as a laughing angel of vengeance to destroy the Ultimate Reich. And in Pat Kelleher's Black Hand Gang, a "pal's batallion" of WWI Tommies is plucked from the Somme and dropped in a world of ghastly aliens and sudden death.
