Bohemian Taboo Stories
Kniha Bohemian Taboo Stories veřejnosti představuje zajímavé osobnosti, jež se věnují neobvyklým profesím a koníčkům, které spojuje jedno zásadní téma. Ve dvaceti povídkách a zpovědích, inspirovaných skutečnými událostmi, popisuje osudy lidí, kteří se při své zájmové nebo profesní činnosti dotýkají oblasti sexuality a erotiky. Všechny příběhy mají za cíl probudit ve čtenářích zájem o neobvyklé obory a nabídnout jiný pohled na lidskou sexualitu a díky velmi osobním příběhům, popisujícím důležité okamžiky v životech nejrůznějších osobností, možná také řešení stigmat, která s ní bývají spojována. Jednotlivé kapitoly jsou vždy věnovány konkrétní oblasti: od Prague Pride přes Laboratoř evoluční sexuologie a psychopatologie až po kultovního fotografa Petra Jedináka. Publikace je doprovázena poutavými ilustracemi a vzrušujícími fotografiemi.

Krásky a vetřelci. Pulp stories
Fantastika je úžasná v jedné věci – můžete psát prakticky cokoliv a o čemkoliv. Můžete klást zásadní filosofické otázky, bourat tabu i řešit složitá společenská dilemata. A také se můžete bavit, dělat si z věcí legraci a být tak sexuálně explicitní, jak vám to jenom vlastní stud dovolí. A to nejlepší na fantastice spočívá v tom, že můžete úplně všechno dohromady. Vzít hromadu mimozemšťanů, nechat je kopulovat s těmi nejprsatějšími kráskami ze všech pozemských ras, a ještě si zadumat nad otázkou zneužívání moci v mezilidských vztazích. Anebo taky ne. Fantastika je totiž svobodná, protože i její autoři jsou ve své tvorbě ti nejsvobodnější, a nejzábavnější ze všech žánrů, co se v téhle zemi pěstují. Jak moc, to ukazuje tahle antologie. Čtěte a bavte se. Anebo hloubejte. Anebo ne. Je to jen na vás.
Vejdou mimozemšťan, Čech a Žmrnlub do baru a Čech řekne: „Co je, sakra, Žmrnlub?“ Ať je to cokoliv, v téhle knize to nenajdete. Na rozdíl od mimozemšťanů a Čechů. A Češek. A bojů mezi nimi. Tedy mimozemšťany a Čechy. A Češkami. Jak to dopadne, je jasné: Jsme přece Češi. Nevzdáme se. A pokud, bude přitom alespoň sranda. A taky hromada sexu. Nová antologie tuzemské fantastiky přináší to nejlepší, co se o střetu mezi mimozemšťany a lidmi dá napsat. S nádechem zlatého věku světové sci-fi a poctivou dávkou české a slovenské neomalenosti a schopnosti přijít s příběhy, při kterých se budete smát, bát, bavit i červenat. Čekají vás ostřílení autoři, krásky, krasavci, emzáci i hnusáci a jako bonus komiks o holkách z bombardéru, nacistech a létajících talířích.
Do antologie přispěli: Alžběta Bílková, Roman Bureš, Dan Černý, Martin Fajkus, Oskar Fuchs, Petr Heteša, Peter Jelínek, Jan Kotouč, František Kotleta, Vilém Koubek, Lucie Lukačovičová, Michaela Merglová, Martin Paytok, Judith Random, Kristýna Sněgoňová, Dalibor Vácha, Sára Vůchová, Ivo Železný
