Mythology, whether classic or
modern, has always taken readers on a magical ride. Mythologically Torqured, volume 2, takes those tales from days of
old, or more recent history, and places a unique spin on the beloved lore.
The gods of Olympus make
appearances, as do deities from Japanese, Native American, and other belief
systems. With rampant sexual desires, these gods manage to slake their thirst
for passions of the flesh in a rather untraditional manner... if the oral traditions
passed down from generation-to-generation were at all accurate.
These eighteen stories are
penned by both seasoned scribes and new authors; the anthology provides readers
with the perfect opportunity to explore offerings from their favorite storytellers
as well as find a new favorite or two. And, a unique perspective on the stories
we enjoyed—or were forced down our throats at the hands of a sadistic English
teacher or two—in our youth.
Containing M/M and F/F as well
as Trans stories from authors Adrik Kemp, Alex Cohen, B.A. Tortuga, Corrine A.

Excerpt:
That
night Luis dreams for the first time in years.
His
surroundings are a surreal clash between pub and coffee shop. The bar is one he
frequents only when he craves the noise and companionship of a crowd instead of
an empty studio. The coffee shop is where he sat only days ago, agreeing to
take on his first commission in ages. The mix of locales is strangely chaotic,
too many details going awry between them. Gray windows hang opposite the bar
itself, reflected by a wide mirror along the back wall. Yellow light glints
from the ceiling, painting the pub brighter than Luis has ever actually seen
it.
The
booth he occupies is plush, empty but for himself, and the cushions beneath and
behind him are cracked with wear.
"Can
I join you?" a coffee-smooth voice asks, and Luis raises his eyes to find
absolute perfection smiling down at him.
He
can't answer. His voice has frozen in his throat.
"I'll
take that as a yes," the man says, dropping into the booth across from
Luis. Mischief glints in dark eyes, and Luis stares in helpless silence, taking
in everything he's been searching for in a thousand unsuccessful sketches.
Sharp cheekbones cut across a narrow face, perfectly symmetrical and softened
by a widening smile. The face is narrow, but the jaw is strong, the nose
straight and broad and fitted perfectly to deceptively delicate features.
There's an uncanny smoothness to the brow where it slopes beneath dark curls,
but the smoothness creases when sharp eyebrows rise in pointed amusement.
Generous
lips quirk into an even wider smile, and the man asks, "See something you
like?"
Luis
tries to reply, but he's still too floored. Even knowing this is a dream, he's
mortified with himself for gawping. It's embarrassingly difficult to summon his
voice and answer.
"You're
perfect." He means to say more, but a grating alarm sounds, jarring him.
When he blinks he's not at the bar any longer, but at home in his own bed,
early sunlight piercing between window curtains and the alarm clock a cacophony
in his ears.
The
grogginess of sleep vanishes in a rush of adrenaline, and Luis reaches for the
sketchbook on his nightstand
