Есть такая форма взаимоотношений между организмами, при которой один организм (паразит) использует другой (хозяина) в качестве среды обитания и источника пищи. Это называется паразитизмом. Представьте себе, что у человека тоже есть паразит, который живет в его теле и питается за его счёт! Живет он в панцире, который расположен на левой руке. У паразита есть голова и шея, сосудами он соединен с другими органами человека. Это существо не может сосуществовать без хозяина. И так как его собственная жизнь зависит от человека, оно начинает заботиться о его здоровье и оберегать от опасностей. Паразит меняет человека в лучшую сторону. Тот начинает правильно питаться и много времени уделять физической культуре, по утрам делает зарядку и выходит на пробежку, перестает употреблять алкоголь, не курит, не ведет ночной образ жизни, не занимается травмоопасными видами спорта. Но что если эти существа, смотрящие своими влюбленными, преданными глазами в лицо хозяина, преследуют какую-то свою цель?

Sometimes Bone King cannot go through doors. He has no physical impairment, but at times his brain and muscles simply can’t recall how to walk him through them. Perhaps it has something to do with his being distracted thinking about grammar and etymology all the time, or maybe it’s anxiety that his wife is having an affair with the yardman. But then renowned neurologist Arthur Limongello offers a diagnosis as peculiar as the ailment: Bone’s self is starting to dislodge from his brain. The treatment is a series of therapeutic tasks; Bone must compliment a stranger each day, do good deeds without being asked, and remind himself each morning, that “Today is a good day!”But first, as a temporary measure, he also suggests Bone simply try to dance through the doorways. And for a time, Bone’s square dancing, the only kind of dance he knows how to do, seems to more or less work.Bone’s condition begins to improve, but then his wife leaves him, and after a harrowing ordeal during which he nearly loses his life, Bone makes an astounding discovery about the man who has been calling himself Dr. Limongello. Is Limongello’s remedy the product of a deranged imagination or the cure for a modern epidemic threatening the very self?

In this novel, written in 1958 but never published anywhere until now, Harry Stephen Keeler pulls out all the stops and creates a tale that Arthur Conan Doyle might have written.

In Victor J. Banis's hilarious gender-bender send-up of the mutant superhero genre, hetero Peter Warren's ambition is to design women's dresses, and his most secret desire is to wear them. His cop wife, Teri, also secretly longs to see her hubby «dressed up,» but hasn't yet found the right way to tell him. And when Peter drinks the «wrong stuff,» he turns into the eight-foot-tall monster called Drag Thing. Add to the pot a pair of lesbian scientists working on a formula to make women stronger and more aggressive; a trio of hapless Homeland agents planning to purloin the formula for purposes of warfare, inept gangbangers who call themselves The Moes and kidnap pets for ransom, a nefarious villain who becomes The Owl, a horny Great Dane with lavender toenails, and a monster cat who turns into Franken-pussy, drag queen Lorelie Lee, Nurse Gladys Kravitz and her homophobic husband, Abner, and a naughty trick or two, and the result is a genuine treat for the reader. Gentlemen, start your broomsticks!

That debonair Man from C.A.M.P., Jackie Holmes, is back once more! This time the crusader for gay justice is thrown into the most fracturingly funny escapade of his career, being joined by an unbelievably incompetent household of characters, who go by the code name of WATERCRESS, and who insist on helping him with his (barely) dangerous mission. And in process we encounter the antics of such individuals as the straightlaced CIA agent, Craig Mathews, Aunt Lily, Aunt Nasturtia, Aunt Marigold, Honeysuckle the pianist, the gigantic Gladiola, and the very strange Nick. Of course, Jackie always winds up on top in the end. Sounds like business as usual for this ever-C.A.M.P.-ish series! First publication in 45 years.
