Because your real enemies ain't aiming at your back.

He was an abandoned child who roamed the cold city streets and fought hard for survival. The only thing constant in his young life was the safety of a Brownsville barbershop owned by a father figure called Fat Daddy. The barbershop is where Hood comes of age, but cutting hair isn't the only thing Fat Daddy has going on. His daughter, Egypt, is the love of Hood's young life, and the one person whose dreams of a stable future can lead him off the grimy urban corners and out of the hustling life.

In an effort to protect his own, Hood and his best friend and hustling partner, Dreko, take to the streets on a bloody mission that doesn't go exactly as planned. Hood returns to find his world turned upside down by a wave of sex, violence, and betrayal.

    26 June - 23 September 2007Kings of cult and pop Pierre et Gilles create dreamy portraits that transport their subjects--as well as the viewers--into an alternate world where camp, pop, burlesque, religion, and eroticism mingle in perfect harmony. Creating the sets themselves, and with Pierre as photographer and Gilles as painter/elaborator, they create one-of-a-kind artworks of an unmistakably original style. A host of stars has passed before their lens, such as Iggy Pop, Madonna, Marc Almond, Nina Hagen, Catherine Deneuve, Laetitia Casta, Marilyn Manson, Mireille Mathieu... though many of their portraits also feature unknowns. Marking the 30th anniversary of their collaboration, the Jeu de Paume in Paris is hosting a retrospective of their work from June to September, 2007. Much more than just an exhibition catalog, this book brings together all of the 130 works included in the exhibition as well as an additional 170 pieces focusing on the past ten years. Also included is a tribute text by the artist Jeff Koons. What better way to (re)discover the work of Pierre et Gilles?

    It's been a 60-year contract. Photography is love and death-that'll be my epitaph."" -Araki The subject is Japanese photographer Araki, a man who talks about life through photographs. His powerful oeuvre, decades' worth of images, has been pared down to 540 pages of photographs which tell the story of Araki and comprise the ultimate retrospective collection of his work. Known best for his intimate, snapshot-style images of women often tied up with ropes (kinbaku, Japanese rope-tying art) and of colorful, sensual flowers, Araki is an artist who reacts strongly to his emotions and uses photography to experience them more fully. Obsessed with women, Araki seeks to come closer to them through photography, using ropes like an embrace and the click of the shutter like a kiss. His work is at once shocking and mysteriously tender; a deeply personal artist, Araki is not afraid of his emotions nor of showing them to the world.

    Scotland Yard had a copy in their reference library, and even Sherlock Holmes may have had recourse to a copy in certain investigations. In private collections across the English speaking world, it was kept on top shelves, or safely stowed in locked cabinets, beyond the reach of minors, domestics and spouses. Any woman who gazed upon its pages was said to have fainted away. The church campaigned to have it banned and the German translation was burned at Nuremberg. Many antiquarian book sellers believe the book to have been a myth, others claimed it changed hands at enormous cost, and some are certain all original copies are now lost.

This encyclopaedic treasure of adult pleasures, dysfunctions and unacceptable female behaviour has been fully restored with the original illustrations intact. In modern hands, this forbidden work of scholarly madness will prove hilarious.

They may have spent only one perfect night together, but Yancy can’t keep the fiery redhead off his mind. But his new assignment for Aztec should take care of that.

    Could it? She was up for re-election in a few months, had reports of a wolf stalking the local livestock, a couple of dead bodies up on the mountainside who had died of strange circumstances and to beat it all, she was having the steamiest erotic dreams about a stranger that she had met a few days ago. How was she supposed to know that when the stranger-Drake Raven-reappeared a few days later, she would be arrested him as Suspect #1 for the murders on the mountain? Just the simple act of placing the dangerously attractive Drake in handcuffs ignited a flame in her that no amount of water could douse. Grace has to struggle to maintain the Sheriff/Suspect relationship when she handcuffs him but every time she gets near Drake Raven she can barely breathe for the yearning to feel his hands on her heated skin. Drake Raven only returned to Deer Run, KY to see if he could get to know the lovely Grace that he had met while he was there before, doing his job. His job of killing vampires. He never dreamed that the next time he saw Grace, he would be staring down the barrel of her gun. Arrested for murder, Drake has his work cut out for him. He has to convince her that he hasn't killed anyone-and when he notices the bite marks on her neck-he also has to convince her that vampires are real and one of them had his eye on her for his next victim. Drake defends Grace in more ways than one while he loses his heart to the most powerful woman he's ever met.
