In this fast-paced dark academia debut, a high school student is drawn into a secret society bent on uncovering the hidden truths of her elite Manhattan school. But as she digs deeper, she begins to suspect that the societyâ ™s mysterious leaders â “ possibly including her new girlfriend â “ may have far more sinister motives.

Besides, her first and only real friend at Davison died suddenly last year. Still, Kay s intrigued, so she stains her palms with ink to join the mysterious Blue Hand Girls, sharing an unspoken thrill with the classmates who do the same. More letters show up, assigning risky initiation tasks, and Kay realises the group is set on exposing the shady business that Davison s founders would rather keep hidden â “ things that her dead friend might have known about. But the anonymous instructions also demand the girls reveal their own secrets, bonding them all too close to abandon the society. Soon Kay doesn t know who s more dangerous: the powerful people who run her school, or the Blue Hand Girls themselves. And then there s Zola Wolfe, the beautiful redhead in Kay s Calculus class, who s never been seen with a blue hand, and who just might become her girlfriend. Yet Kay can t help but wonder, even as she kisses her on the roof of Davison High, if Zola is the most dangerous of them all. Suspenseful and intriguing, this dark academia debut will have readers gripped with its fresh take on the genre and distinctive, voice-driven narrative.

Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those #39;bad gays #39; whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.

The Penguin English Library Edition of Daisy Miller and The Turn of the Screw by Henry James I m a fearful, frightful flirt! Did you ever hear of a nice girl that was not? This edition contains two of Henry James s most popular short works. Travelling in Europe with her family, Daisy Miller, an exquisitely beautiful young American woman, presents her fellow-countryman Winterbourne with a dilemma he cannot resolve. Is she deliberately flouting social convention in the outspoken way she talks and acts, or is she simply ignorant of those conventions? In Daisy Miller Henry James created his first great portrait of the enigmatic and dangerously independent American woman, a figure who would come to dominate his later masterpieces.Oscar Wilde called James s chilling The Turn of the Screw a most wonderful, lurid poisonous little tale . It tells of a young governess sent to a country house to take charge of two orphans, Miles and Flora. Unsettled by a sense of intense evil within the houses, she soon becomes obsessed with the belief that malevolent forces are stalking the children in her care.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
