RAB Launches New LGBT Pulp Fiction Line, 120 Days, with Publication of Man Eater
The innovative hybrid publisher, Riverdale Avenue Books is launching 120 Days, a new imprint. The first book of the new imprint will be Man Eater, a 70’s gay pulp classic that follows a Vietnam vet turned detective who makes it his personal mission to find the deadly serial killer of gay men.
120 Days is an imprint of Magnus Books/Riverdale Avenue Books dedicated to reprinting classic erotica, especially the LGBT titles of the 20th century. These vintage gay erotic novels, many written by novelists unable to find other outlets for fiction about gay men and women, peaked between 1968 and 1982. As censorship laws were struck down across the US, the best of these writers continued to turn out well-plotted genre novels--spy thrillers, science-fiction tales, mysteries, swashbuckling adventures, gothic romances and even pre-“Brokeback Mountain” westerns--within whose conventions they were able to explore the full range of their characters' lives. Surprisingly modern with just a dash of retro appeal these largely-forgotten novels are both great, fun reads and a bracing reminder that times change but people don't.
120 Days founder Maitland McDonagh explained how the line came about. “I was drawn to gay adult novels of the 1970s by their teasing covers, but stayed for the books between them. They contained a world of entertaining and often slyly subversive thrillers, horror stories, coming-of-age tales and more, filled with characters who bucked demeaning stereotypes and followed their own dreams and desires wherever they led. I'm excited that Riverdale Avenue Books is bringing this queer pulp fiction to a wider audience: They're dispatches from the front lines of how we got here from there, and too much fun to remain hidden.”
Said Riverdale Avenue Books Publisher Lori Perkins, “We are thrilled to be able to bring these ‘lost’ stories to publication in the 21st century to an audience that might not be aware of their existance and place in LGBT and publishing history. Maitland has rediscovered some really unique and creative works.”
The next book in the 120 Days imprint will be Vampire’s Kiss.
Downloads of this book are available at RiverdaleAveBooks.com and also at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles Nook, iTunes, Kobo and where digital and print books are sold.

Happy Spanksgiving!
Riverdale Avenue Books just released an anthology of spanking stories for the Thanksgiving holidays entitled Spanksgiving. This is a tradition of similar titles in their innovative line of seasonal erotic romance short story collections such as Superbowl Smut and Happy MILF Day.
The book features Thanksgiving smut from Jack Stratton, Renee Rose, Ryan Field, Louisa Bacio, Oleander Plume, Lissa Trevor, Trinity Blacio, Jennifer Williams, and by DL King.
“I was thinking about how there isn’t much erotica about this time of year and then thought of how much fun it would be do just that for this holiday,” said publisher and anthology editor Lori Perkins. “Thanksgiving certainly has the right elements for naughty fun - four days off from work, too much of a good thing, and the possibility of chasing down an old flame.”
Downloads of this book are available at RiverdaleAveBooks.com and also at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles Nook, iTunes, Kobo and where digital and print books are sold.

You Must Remember This, a Gay Retelling of Casablanca, Pubs on 75th Anniversary of Classic Film
In honor of the 75th anniversary of the movie
classic Casablanca’s release, Riverdale Avenue Books is releasing You Must Remember This by John Michael Curlovich, a gay retelling
of Casablanca.
In this
retelling of the WW II love story, the author supposes that the nightclub owner,
Frank, and his close friend the jazz singer, Dan, were lovers in the military,
which brought them to Morroco. But Frank fell in love with a woman when they
were in Paris, and she failed to follow him to Morocco, until the novel opens. You Must Remember This asks the reader to wonder if Frank will end up with
Dan or Lilli or even the handsome French Prefect of Police.
“From
the very first time I saw Casablanca
I knew it was something special, a pitch-perfect blend of script, direction,
acting, design and cinematography. But
there was something else, something that spoke to me on an intimate level,”
said author John
Michael Curlovich. “I had learned very early to decode
the signals that directors and screenwriters used to suggest gayness without
ever being explicit about it.”
“I had read an earlier version of this novel years ago, and I just
loved it,” said Publisher Lori Perkins added. “I wanted to bring it back to
publication for this important anniversary.”
Downloads of
this book are available at RiverdaleAveBooks.com and also at Amazon, Barnes
& Nobles Nook, iTunes, Kobo and where digital and print books are sold.

#MeToo Essay Book is OUT!
Riverdale Avenue Books, an award-winning
woman-owned leading hybrid publisher, is releasing a collection of 26 essays in
reaction to the hastag MeToo on twitter after the multiple revelations of
sexual predation in Hollywood, and elsewhere. The authors see #MeToo as the
tipping point of the need for change and the book calls for ways to figure out
how to drive that change forward making the movement more than a hashtag.
More than 16 million people had posted
their #MeToo story and support against sexual harassment by mid-October as a
reaction to Rose McGowan’s brave admission that she had allegedly been raped by
Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. A
groundswell of reaction to and exposure of this sexual predation was unleashed
that has spread throughout Europe and beyond. New revelations of unacceptable
behavior in every industry break every day as people come forward in response
to the viral #MeToo posts. Protests are scheduled such as the “Take back the
Workplace” Hollywood march in November of 2017, and legislation is being
drafted in New York and California to finally change the way things have been
for far too long.
This is the turning point. Things are
going to change.
Said Publisher and Editor Lori Perkins. “While I was encouraging everyone
to speak up and do something about #MeToo, I realized I have a press, I can publish a
book. This is an historic moment and it needs to be
memorialized, passed around and passed on. Although social media is a fantastic
means of igniting a fire, it needs to keep burning, like a torch.”

Llamada para ensayos #YO TAMBIÉN:
Llamada para ensayos
#YO TAMBIÉN:
Ensayos sobre cómo y
por qué sucedió esto,
Lo que significa, y
cómo asegurarse de que nunca vuelva a suceder
Fecha de vencimiento:
23 de octubre de 2017
Todas las mujeres que conozco están hablando de las
acusaciones de acoso sexual y violación de Harvey Weinstein, y la oleada de
reacción y exposición que ha desatado.
Ninguna mujer se sorprendió por la respuesta al apagón de
Twitter que pidió Rose McGowan, o por la cantidad de tweets que dibujó la
campaña #MeToo.
Pero ahora que?
Este es un punto de inflexión, y debe ser memorializado y
transmitido y pasado, y aunque Twitter
es un medio fantástico de encender un fuego, debe seguir ardiendo, como una
antorcha.
Soy una mujer de palabra Como periodista entrenado, propietario
de un periódico, escritor y ahora editor de Riverdale Avenue Books, creo en el
poder y la permanencia de las palabras impresas.
Entonces, Riverdale Avenue Books, una mujer propietaria de
la principal editorial de libros electrónicos, está poniendo su dinero,
palabras y poder detrás de esto y publicando una colección de ensayos titulada
#YO TAMBIÉN:
Ensayos sobre cómo y
por qué sucedió esto,
Lo que significa, y
cómo asegurarse de que nunca vuelva a ocurrir.
Este libro trata sobre el futuro, no una colección de
recuerdos de hostigamiento. Necesitamos voces, nuestras voces, para descubrir
qué podemos hacer y hacerlo, y para transmitirlo de manera viral.
Así que estoy pidiendo ensayos de todos, no solo mujeres,
sobre lo anterior desde 250 palabras en adelante. Enviar como una palabra doc
con una breve biografía.
El libro se distribuirá gratis como un libro electrónico
(Riverdale está en conversaciones con Amazon para asociarse con nosotros para
regalar la edición impresa de manera gratuita; si no lo harán, solo le
cobraremos el costo).
Entonces no hay paga. Pero nunca hay para un movimiento o
para cambiar las opiniones de la sociedad.
Mi socio comercial me preguntó "¿Por qué estamos
haciendo esto?" Le dije, porque podemos y porque podemos donar nuestro
tiempo y recursos y cerrar este libro sin tener que ir a una junta directiva y
explicar por qué estamos haciendo Esto, a diferencia de todas las otras casas
editoriales que están llenas de conflictos y políticas internas de género.
Así que piensen en este libro como los Papeles del Pentágono
del feminismo.
Vamos a publicar la próxima semana. Nuestra fecha objetivo
es el 26 de octubre.
Así que cuéntales a tus amigos, a los escritores que
admiras, a cualquier persona que conozcas que tenga una historia que contar o
pensamientos para compartir, o que alguna vez haya dicho: "Sabes qué
deberíamos hacer ...".
Hagamos historia. Vamos a cambiar nuestro mundo
¡Mostrémosle al mundo lo que realmente significa el adagio
feminista "lo personal es político"!
