Book excerpt: Move over Brothers Grimm, these are not your Mother Goose's fairy tales. Twisted: that's what Torqued Tales is all about. Taking a familiar fairy tale and turning it a few degrees off center, making it something new. And sexy. The authors of Torqued Tales have taken some of our old favorites, such as Sleeping Beauty, the Little Red Riding Hood, and Pinocchio, and given them a romantic, sensual, and homoerotic slant. Sean Michael, BA Tortuga, Julia Talbot; all of your favorite authors are here, with stories that are as irreverent as they are faithful to tales we all know and love. CB Potts has given the Emperor's New Clothes a hilarious retelling, where two tailors of magical cloth give every man in sight a whole new lease on clothing. Kara Larson's The Nature of the Beast takes on Beauty and the Beast, Kiwi style. And Kiernan Kelly looks at Puss in Boots in a whole new light in The Master Cat. By turns rib-shaking funny and steamy hot, these fairy tales are not the morality plays we remember from our childhood. This light-hearted fantasy anthology will keep you turning the page, eager to get your Grimm on and see what the best Torquere authors can do with a little tradition, a lot of imagination, and healthy dose of heat.--From back cover.
Download or read book The Torqued Man written by Peter Mann and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A damn good read.”—Alan Furst A brilliant debut novel, at once teasing literary thriller and a darkly comic blend of history and invention, The Torqued Man is set in wartime Berlin and propelled by two very different but equally mesmerizing voices: a German spy handler and his Irish secret agent, neither of whom are quite what they seem. Berlin—September, 1945. Two manuscripts are found in rubble, each one narrating conflicting versions of the life of an Irish spy during the war. One of them is the journal of a German military intelligence officer and an anti-Nazi cowed into silence named Adrian de Groot, charting his relationship with his agent, friend, and sometimes lover, an Irishman named Frank Pike. In De Groot’s narrative, Pike is a charismatic IRA fighter sprung from prison in Spain to assist with the planned German invasion of Britain, but who never gets the chance to consummate his deal with the devil. Meanwhile, the other manuscript gives a very different account of the Irishman’s doings in the Reich. Assuming the alter ego of the Celtic hero Finn McCool, Pike appears here as the ultimate Allied saboteur. His mission: an assassination campaign of high-ranking Nazi doctors, culminating in the killing of Hitler’s personal physician. The two manuscripts spiral around each other, leaving only the reader to know the full truth of Pike and De Groot’s relationship, their ultimate loyalties, and their efforts to resist the fascist reality in which they are caught.
