The Chronotope and Other Speculative Fictions
Time travel and brothels; unusual visitors from different eras, dimensions, and realities; human zoos maintained by curious aliens who like to watch; private eyes who are zombies; leafy-green literary collaborators; moral steampunk issues; a dreamer at the edge of the solar system; an astronaut who's gone insane; and the conspiracies of chrono-assassins–just a few of the fantastic themes in these 16 stories from Michael Hemmingson's first collection of speculative fiction: page-turners, every one of them!
Poison from a Dead Sun
Since childhood, Noel has had a psychic connection to the nuclear fish monster, Goldgotha, whom he can summon by thought to defeat nefarious aliens and their allied creatures.

How to Have an Affair and Other Instructions
Comes now this fascinating and enticing new collection of transgressive smut by Michael Hemmingson, author of such Blue Moon Books classics as The Comfort of Women, The Dress, House of Dreams, Amateurs, The Rooms, and 66 Chapters About 33 Women. Hemmingson gently, sometimes aggressively, explores the sensual nature of trains, cars, art exhibits, and foreign countries. The women in these stories are strong, independent, and lurid – working as strippers, writers, actresses, grad students, and filmmakers. In «The Installation,» a desperate young lass puts an ad in the paper: «Female Will Do Anything for $10.000.» In «Jolene,» a man gets involved with a sassy strumpet he witnessed engaging in a juicy gang bang. In «Natalie,» a bold gal reveals her desire to be spanked, while «Mo» is a cautionary adventure about a sexy young college student who only performs oral sex with her partners. The need to connect, sexually and spiritually, with The Other is explored in «The End of Celibacy» and «Feeling Something,» while the title story examines the pros and cons of extramarital coitus. Every story is eloquently written in perfect sentences, and explicitly rendered in Hemmingson's trademark fashion that has earned him a cult following in the literary erotica genre.
Vivacious Vixens & Blackmail Babes
Blackmail babes, dangerous dames, femme fatales, manic minxes, saucy strumpets, torrid trollops, vivacious vixens, and white trash wantons–men fall for them, men love them, men hate them, men wish they had never met these bombastic broads! Here are a novella and four short stories about such dudes, fellows, gentlemen, heels, husbands, killers, and patsies that wind up in trouble when they put their business where their business doesn't belong. See them as they try to squirm out of the messes they have made for themselves, and the strange events that follow–from murder to mayhem, desire to destiny, hell and havoc! One thing's for sure, though: life will never be the same for these poor saps! <P> Great noir reading!
Judas Payne
Judas Payne was the devil’s spawn, a product of rape, a half-white, half-Indian outcast who was loved only by his pretty half-sister, Evangeline. When the Reverend Payne finds the two naked in the barn, he takes out one of Judas’s eyes, and Judas chops off one of the Reverend’s arms and then runs for his life. He meets up with a number of colorful characters out there in the weird wild west, from a white slave-trading ex-Confederate colonel to a gun-slinging assassin who quotes scripture as he slaughters his targets. Meanwhile, unknown to Judas, Evangeline Payne has been sold to a brothel and forced to engage in the most vile sexual acts with any man who pays for it.... <P> In the vein of Joe R. Lansdale’s weird westerns, this dark novel is Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name meets Deadwood meets Cowboys and Aliens. Jump on your horse and take a ride….
