Prepare for a different kind of singularity in Peter Watts' Echopraxia, the follow-up to the Hugo-nominated novel Blindsight It's the eve of the twenty-second century: a world where the dearly departed send postcards back from Heaven and evangelicals make scientific breakthroughs by speaking in tongues; where genetically engineered vampires solve problems intractable to baseline humans and soldiers come with zombie switches that shut off self-awareness during combat. And it's all under surveillance by an alien presence that refuses to show itself. Daniel Bruks is a living fossil: a field biologist in a world where biology has turned computational, a cat's-paw used by terrorists to kill thousands. Taking refuge in the Oregon desert, he's turned his back on a humanity that shatters into strange new subspecies with every heartbeat. But he awakens one night to find himself at the center of a storm that will turn all of history inside-out. Now he's trapped on a ship bound for the center of the solar system. To his left is a grief-stricken soldier, obsessed by whispered messages from a dead son. To his right is a pilot who hasn't yet found the man she's sworn to kill on sight. A vampire and its entourage of zombie bodyguards lurk in the shadows behind. And dead ahead, a handful of rapture-stricken monks takes them all to a meeting with something they will only call "The Angels of the Asteroids." Their pilgrimage brings Dan Bruks, the fossil man, face-to-face with the biggest evolutionary breakpoint since the origin of thought itself.

When Valerie opened her bleary eyes after a night of heavy drinking, she did not expect to find herself in a mental hospital… She did not expect to find all her limbs restrained to the bed… And she definitely did not expect to find herself wearing a big, puffy, adult diaper! Of course, that was merely the start of Valerie’s endlessly humiliating, infantile treatment, now that she’d found herself legally committed to St. Joseph’s psychiatric ward. But despite her nightmarish circumstances, Valerie soon experiences a glimmer of hope when she’s greeted by a kindly hospital care worker who goes by the name Mrs. Godmother. Valerie is greatly comforted by the maternal woman, even despite the woman coaxing an immensely embarrassed Valerie into using her diaper… However, things take a turn for the worse when Mrs. Godmother seemingly disappears, and Valerie is discovered in her diaper by the hospital’s doctor on duty. Suddenly, Valerie’s story about being told to use her diaper by a mysterious, kindly old woman is met with unexpected skepticism, and Valerie soon realizes she’s being treated like she’s totally crazy. Before she knows it, Valerie is being diagnosed with big, scary words she doesn’t understand, and transferred to something called the ‘maximum-security psychiatric ward’ to treat her so-called ‘severe infantile regression disorder’. As Valerie finds herself descending further and further into the clutches of the diaper asylum’s dominating doctors and nurses—forced to use diapers 24/7, sleep strapped to a crib, and eat nothing but baby food—she becomes more and more desperate to find Mrs. Godmother and prove her sanity. And that shouldn’t be too hard, because Valerie knows she’s not actually a totally crazy, helplessly regressing, diaper-dependent adult-baby… Right? Right?? This full-length erotic ABDL novel will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. For mature readers only!

'The man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour!' That was how Superstar Billy Graham described himself, and who could argue? Graham was perhaps the single most influential performer of the past thirty years, and the mark of that influence can be found in Superstars ranging from Hulk Hogan to Scott Steiner. His outrageous ring attire and Muhammad Ali-style interviews were a breath of fresh air during an era when sports entertainment was much more bare-bones than it is today. Just as fans flocked to see the Superstar compete in the ring, so they loved to listen to him pontificate on the microphone, even if he was bad-mouthing the Superstars they held dear. With his equally colourful manager the Grand Wizard at his side, Graham toppled Bruno Sammartino from his WWE Championship perch for the last time on April 30, 1977. He went on to hold the prize for nearly ten months, the longest reign for any ring villain in WWE history to this day.Clad in tie-dye and feather boas, the Superstar was a sign of things to come, and boasted a chiselled, muscular physique that was very unique at the time. During the late 1980s, he made a brief return to WWE competition, and even enjoyed stints as a manager and broadcaster. Graham has experienced it all and he's going to be talking about it in this book, with stories about all the legendary wrestlers - including Sammartino, Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka and Sergeant Slaughter - that no true wrestling fan will want to miss.
