Carson transposes Geryon, the winged, red monster from Greek myth into the modern world, where he is a depressed, artsy, gay teenage boy. In the myth, Herakles is Geryon's murderer. In Carson's story, Herakles is Geryon's lover. In a modern setting where myth collides with hockey practice, television, babysitters, and love triangles, Carson creates a haunting effect. Geryon is a boy like any other boy, a monster like any other monster, contemplating his boyness, his monsterness. ~ Reviewed by Hanna Yost

In an articulate voice and functional style, Stoya offers wit and insight in this collection of essays. Best known for her porn star status, Stoya covers the topics readers expect her to, from sex within a relationship to sex for performance. More than this, however, she presents herself as a wonderfully relatable narrator, fangirling over her favorite artist, dying of period cramps, and struggling to navigate a world where as a woman, she is sometimes considered less human than her male peers. ~ Reviewed by Hanna Yost
