The Carthanage Stories -- A collection of stories taking place in a world we call Carthanage that is much like our world, but not entirely. Stories include the following:
- "Fair" --- Cammy and Alisa enjoy an eventful first date at the university's annual fall fair. What could possibly go wrong? This story serves as a general exploration of Carthanage society.
- "Pony" --- A generation after Cammy and Alisa meet, their daughters, Sandra and Selena, finishing high school and avid fans of ponygirl racing, look ahead to their adult lives as typical female Carthanage citizens. A deep look into the ponygirl subculture of Carthanage.
- "Academy Girl"
--- Miranda was the best present Andrew Cameron could have expected from his father for his twenty-first birthday: a stunningly beautiful, fully-trained, sexually sophisticated graduate of the Hanging Academy to serve as the principal entertainment and main dinner course for his birthday
party. For Miranda, the event was to be the culmination of a lifetime of fantasy and three years of intensive training. Her obligations, sexual and otherwise, to Andrew and his father Preston were spelled out clearly by Academy rules, but what about the other member of the Cameron family? Was there anything that Miranda, in the last hours of her life, could do for eighteen-year-old, bookish wallflower Amy Cameron? (This describes
the first book in a series.)
- "Island", a sequel to "Academy Girl" ---
Purity Island is a throwback colony in which all the progress made by the women of Carthanage in the past hundred years has been negated and women are seen only as food and slaves, as readers of Academy Girl know. In the years following the events of that novel, the island has become an object of anthropological study. A clever arrangement allows college girls to observe and interact with the Purists without becoming a part of the society. When Sara Bollinger's secret heartthrob, Cherise Marteau, is selected for the extended field trip, Sara comes up with a desperate plan to be included in the excursion so that she can spend one last summer in the presence of the woman whose nearness causes her to become tongue-tied in the extreme. Will some unforeseen incident cause the two co-eds to experience way more togetherness than Sara ever imagined? This story includes gynophagia, bondage, and extreme peril, but also contains the humor and love found in all Carthanage stories.
- "Unwilling" (NEW!) --- Slavery is a lifestyle choice among Carthanage women, nearly always voluntary. But under certain circumstances, a woman might be assigned to a life of slavery unwillingly. Marly DeFossi is a celebrity, famous for being famous, contemptuous of slaves until, through no (or not much) fault of her own, she becomes one.
- "At the Dairy Farm"
--- In Carthanage, most women exercise their privilege (or discharge their
obligation, as a very few view it) of serving as a source of food in a
single, climactic act. In Clarissa Martin's family, however, most of the
women spend their entire adult lives nourishing friends, family, and society
at large as girlcows on the family dairy farm. The Martins are a loving family
in which the normal dynamics of mutual
care, respect, and gentle manipulation are not much altered by the fact
that Tom Martin's livestock (with one very important exception) is drawn
from his sisters - until, of course, his daughters are old enough to join the herd.
The lives of the Martin girls are filled with purpose because of their
role as girlcows. Their lives are also filled with sisterly love and
sexy fun because, well, they're the Martin girls.
- "Home For The Holidays" ---
Freshman and Omega Tau member Randy is struck by the plight of Kristi,
a plucky Grade B girl who had come to campus hoping for something much better
than the treatment Randy's frat brothers had in store for her. This is a story of
as elegant an expression of love as a man can make in Carthanage.
Other stories by Cardaniel
- "The Experiment" --- While it's theoretically
possible for both involuntary subjects to survive
a run of Dr. Smith's diabolical experiment, that has never happened yet because
trust, cooperation, and altruism are required for that result and the doctor stacks
the deck by pairing people who are unlikely to care if the other survives. When a
single subject does survive, it is usually through ruthlessness. When youth and
inexperience are added into the mix, do kidnapped teenagers Robbie and
Lisa even have a chance?
- "High Tide" --- Bright, pretty, creative,
artistic, and sensuous, Ronnie seems to have the
perfect life -- she even has love. However, when, under pressure from her husband,
she blurts out her deepest erotic desire, he finds it too strange to even consider.
She can fulfill her desire by giving herself to another lover, but, if she does
so, how complete must her gift be?
- "In Trouble" --- It is virtually impossible for
lesbian lovers Brianna and Jenny to
escape their sentence of death by hanging because there is no way to affect the
cold mechanical apparatus through which the sentence will be carried out. But can
they find a way to cheat their executioners of the pleasure of having them die in
loneliness and separation?
- "Killer App" --- What if your life could be placed in
the hands of online friends who
shared your appreciation of the eroticism of asphyxiation?
Had Paula's husband really found a way to do that? And was he acting out of anger
or out of a loving desire for her to attain sexual fulfillment? And how serious
was he? How far would this go?
- "One in Sixty-Four" --- A young gasper-girl
devises an ingenious way to add an element of genuine
risk to her noose-play, while keeping the odds heavily in favor of her survival.
But what if she hasn't planned as well as she thought? Are the odds still in
her favor?
- "The Right Motivation" --- Cheryl is very firm in
her conviction that she could never be persuaded to
voluntarily perform a suicidal act. Can her boyfriend Chris prove her wrong?
How far will either of them go to win an argument? And, is winning REALLY
everything or is there something beyond that?
