Summary: It starts the way a pornographic film might: one summer, cable installment technician Matt begins a torrid affair with Madeline, the disaffected widow of a pharmaceutical executive. It seems to be a perfect match – both of them volatile, both of them lost. But it isn’t long before Matt meets Madeline’s son, a reclusive and put-upon young man who is known by his few friends simply as “Techie.” As the bond with Madeline begins to deteriorate, Matt becomes increasingly fascinated with Techie, and Techie with him, and a relationship begins that is unlike any either of them has ever had.
Why this work is exceptional: The writing is A++. This is a very original story. It’s one of those that you read and think, damn, if the author were to replace the names, this would 100% be an original novel. I thought about these characters long after I finished reading.

That’s too bad for Matt, because he is desperately in love with Techie.

Summary: Matt’s dry spell has turned into more of a four-year drought. Fortunately, the answer comes in the form of anonymous sex. Unfortunately, Matt’s not so good at keeping things anonymous. Shameless filth with the barest hint of plot, tags will be added as we go.
Why this work is exceptional: True, there is a lot of porn. But I would say there is way more plot than the summary let’s on. The premise for this one is just so… weird. Good weird. Matt and Techie’s first meeting is very, very memorable.
