How To Mellify A Corpse is a field trip to a long-ago world filled with superstition, science, and the folks who believed in both. Its 88 lively chapters explore offbeat topics, from high-tech superships to honey embalming, from stench wars to early werewolves.

Booklist calls it “an endlessly fascinating book, full of things that are shocking, unsettling, and just plain weird.”

Calling all you impudent Valentines!

 a titillating guide to all things erotic around the Mediterranean 2000 years ago. 

In 89 passionate true tales, Leon romps through a walk on the wild side of Greco-Roman culture.

From Publishers Weekly starred review: "Vibrant, playful, enlightening....a snappy ride into the stunning, sometimes barbaric, and always entertaining sexuality of the ancient world."
