DISCLOSED DESIRES
By Roberto Chiovitti
Roberto Chiovitti dedicated his first photo book to the dark side of desire. The enthralling images in Disclosed Desires tell tales of lust and pain, of dominance and submission. These images are rough and dark, but Chiovitti’s works also have a very elaborate approach: The pictures are cleverly staged, provoking and unusual. With his focus on the different variations of sexual fetishes, he takes up one of the most important trends of the last years to develop his very own language.

BIKE BOY RIDES AGAIN!
By Zack
A second spring for Zack! In the 70s his lustful and imaginative work was published in many gay magazines and last year saw the release of Bike Boy, a collection of extensively recoloured stories, which became a bestseller right away.
It really was no surprise since Zack is not afraid to let all his fantasies become reality on paper, no matter how explicit they are. With Bike Boy Rides Again! he once again gives us a masterfully drawn and stunning new volume of sexy and randy adventures, two of them completely new and unreleased.

Why Aren’t You Smiling?
By Alvin Orloff
When 14 year-old Leonard decides to quit being a dweeb and instead joins the Burnouts, his ‘good boy’ persona is abandoned as he embarks on a comically painful journey of self-discovery through his unconventional friendship with Rick, an older Jesus-freak barefoot hippie.

98 Wounds
By Justin Chin
As the gay majority surges into the mainstream, a social construct has emerged depicting ‘Good Gays’ and ‘ Bad Gays’. Endless mythmaking goes into dehumanising the Bad. Barebackers, poz sexpigs, meth-users, sexual libertines and fetishists have been blamed, shamed and disdained. In this book of tautly conceived imagery either all should be damned, or all saved.
