Here, we believe you can't have pleasure without pain. Luckily, we enjoy both. We publish work that pushes the boundary between desire and depravity 🥵🌶️

Alright you beautifully hörńÿ people, we’re doing it. We’re officially launching an anthology of weird sex stories. Submissions will open later this year/early 2024 with details to follow 🍆💦🍑
I literally have a story about a woman who opens black holes inside her p*ss* whenever she orgasms (it’s called “Come As You Are”), and I have never wanted to assemble a weird sex anthology more in my life lol

We’re thrilled—brimming with excitement tbh 💦—to announce Hedone Books’ first author:
@lindzmcleod
🎉🎉🎉 Her book, SUNBATHERS, is sexy, depraved, and everything we’ve ever wanted in ërøtïč horror 😍

At Hedone Books, we believe that everyone deserves to feel safe. This means our readers, reviewers, authors, and editors. We oppose digital violence and harassment in all forms. We stand in solidarity with Evelyn and will not be working with Zach in any capacity moving forward.
For the past two years I’ve suffered harassment from Zach Rosenberg. I never wanted to make this public, but his ongoing bullying has made this impossible. I considered my conflict with him to be personal, it seemed inappropriate to drag it out into the public, inviting a dogpile

“If he only hits you one night a week, why would you kick him out of the house for all seven?”
Removing an abuser from an environment where they have access to vulnerable individuals and can leverage their power isn’t cult behaviour. It’s prioritizing community safety.
@iGregGreene
Let me be clear that I am not excusing bad behavior. Accountability is critical to forgiveness and justice. But if we’re in the business of casting out apostates, we don’t have a community—we have a cult.

To my new followers: hi, I'm Evelyn. If you don't know my story, I fled the Middle East in 2022. Since then, I have been struggling with PTSD, my ex-husband's ongoing mental abuse, and fighting to get my daughter back. I hesitated to capitalize on this moment, but Kima needs me.

And we do, sincerely, appreciate you taking the safety of the community seriously. However, we’d encourage maybe reframing this conversation around how we can keep bad actors from accessing this community vs. how we treat abusers after their predatory behaviour has been revealed.

@Bad_Hand_Books
While our tweet is clearly an exaggeration of your post, it doesn’t sit well with us that your response to a c*s man preying on vulnerable members of the community—many of which were women and non-binary authors—is to worry about this abuser’s access to this shared digital space.
