Who would have thought that a party at legendary B-movie actress Joanna Müller's house could be such a treat? When you have grown up with her films and admire her work, the mere fact of being close to her already seems like a prize. But what if there is also the possibility of having sex with her? Even better, with her and her husband at the same time? Rickard Svärd is a pseudonym for an aspiring Swedish writer who wants to protect the playfulness and seriousness of sexuality. In his short stories, he mixes humour and fantasy, with thought and reality. The hot, forbidden. The everyday, the mysterious. Show respect, get respect, then the rest will be resolved, are the watchwords when Rickard paints his pictures.

"It's Christmas time. Just like the first St Stephan once did, Stephan has a tradition of riding around the village with his men to be invited to the farms. This year he will visit Adam, a man he has encountered before. Once at Adam's house, the men drink together, eat Christmas food, laugh. It's not long before they are tearing each other's clothes off with a special Christmas spirit. But soon it's time for the next Christmas ride. ‘St. Stephan and the horny stable boys’ is a short story about Christmas as the most generous time of the year, when people not only invite you into their homes, but also share their bodies with you." Behind the pseudonym Sir Jay Cox is an established author with several novels to his name. He is as fascinated by heroes as he is by anti-heroes, as well as by what drives them, what attracts them and the relationships they are drawn into. Sexual appetite always plays a central role, but it's not everything... In his two Christmas novellas, Sir Jax Cox takes on a couple of the holiday season's most esteemed profiles and sets them off on the most unexpected adventures. Will readers ever see them in the same way again?

"Nils is on his way up to Rovaniemi. It's time for an intense period of work before Christmas, when all the Christmas presents have to be distributed. He is sitting in his train compartment, feeling like he could fall asleep at any moment. Suddenly Mr S appears. Mr S is like a god to Nils, to everyone up there at the North Pole. Mr S takes off his red coat, takes off everything, exposes his whole magnificent body and asks Nils to do the same. Because, as Mr S says: "What happens in the compartment, stays in the compartment." ‘Mr S’ is a short story about an unexpected and exciting encounter with a man who some know as Santa Claus, but who here reveals quite a different side."

"Noëlle tore into his Santa Claus clothes, which were exclusive but not hard to get off. The coat was closed only by a belt at the waist and the trousers were elasticated." It's the last Saturday before Christmas and Noëlle is, as usual, late Christmas shopping. As she enters a shopping mall, she exchanges a few words with the jolly Santa Claus standing in the entrance before heading into a store. On her way out, Noëlle passes Santa again, and when he sees that she has her hands full, he offers her a lift. Only back at the apartment does he take off his Santa mask and reveal that he is really handsome. Underneath, his dark curly hair matches his brown eyes, and they barely make it into the apartment before he leans over and lets Noëlle taste his plump lips...
