This is a classic geography book for children by author and educator Virgil M. Hillyer.

John Cutter has been forced to take a job managing the dormitories of his alma mater, Mythstone University, after graduating just a few months ago with a degree in Elven Literature. Things were pretty boring for him until the blood powers of his distant Incubus heritage start to awaken within him, giving him supernatural charm among other powers and perks.

For close to a decade, the barbarian known as Thule the Vanquisher traversed the lands of Lemuria, thwarting wizards and warlords alike. But in the midst of his latest clash with his arch-nemesis, the Scorpion Sorcerer Riven Kul'Doom, things got a little out of hand.

John Cutter has lived a blessed life since his most recent birthday, but his luck just might be running out. Sure, he's got the hottest harem of monster girls, demons, half-orcs, half-angels, and elves anyone could imagine, but he's also got necromancer drama, a murder to cover up, and a dungeon to delve. It's not all easy living in the day-to-day existence of a budding young Incubus Lord!

John Cutter, a human in a predominantly non-human city, turns out to be not quite as human as he gave himself credit for. His daily life gets turned upside down when he begins developing strange powers, and before you know it, he's romantically entangled with way too many girls. (Seriously Virgil, what were you thinking?)

The cult known as the Black Phoenix is hot on my tail, attempting to thwart me as I liberate monster women across the multiverse and bring them back to my castle. Worse yet, a half-sister I never knew I had is their champion. The only thing that can stop a Van Helsing is a Van Helsing, so I can’t afford to take her lightly. What’s more, I have to stay focused on my mission. But when there’s downtime.

There are plenty of reasons to get up in the morning if you’re me—Pinky Peach, the unicorn-elf hybrid is one of them. Blossom the flower sprite is another one. Satina the satyress, Tahini the catgirl—need I go on?

Profoundly poetic yet gloriously accessible, this is the best way to experience a work that has remained a centerpiece of Western civilization for 2,000 years. Fitzgerald's rendering speaks directly to the modern listener, inviting us to share the excitement, adventure, and human tears as Aeneas, the warrior hero, escapes from the burning city of Troy, embarks on a long and perilous journey, and eventually, triumphantly establishes a new nation: Rome.

When a trio of cute goblins emerged from a silver portal that appeared out of nowhere on my property...things got a bit more complicated all of a sudden. Also, I soon discovered they bite and scratch: mostly each other, but sometimes me.

The true story of one family's struggle and triumph creating a self-sufficient life in the wilderness. Join the Horn family on the adventure of a lifetime. Learn how a couple from the city moved to the wilderness with three small boys and carved out a life in the middle of nowhere that has endured for nearly 50 years. Impossible Beyond This Point is a compelling must-listen for anyone interested in (or contemplating) getting away from it all.

Though it is for the sparkling epic, Aeneid, that the Roman poet Virgil is best known, it was these two poems, The Eclogues and Georgics, which first established his reputation.

The Aeneid represents one of the greatest cultural and artistic achievements of Western Civilization. Within the brooding and melancholy atmosphere of Virgil's pious masterpiece lies the mythic story of Aeneas and his flight from burning Troy, taking with him across the Mediterranean the survivors of the Greek onslaught. Aeneas, after many travails and adventures, including a love affair with Dido Queen of Carthage and a visit to the underworld to see his father, ends up in Italy.

Liam Elloway is the survivor of a terrible accident, but when he gets swept up into the world of the occult and enrolled at a strange academy for practitioners of dark magic, things get really interesting really quickly. As the first necromancer enrolled at the school in years, and the only mage of a certain type known to exist in centuries, all eyes are on Liam as he begins to discover his destiny. But can his sneering headmistress be trusted?

So, yes, I've established myself as a half-dragon superhero/celebrity in a weird space fantasy metropolis. And yes, in doing so I inadvertently attracted a harem of gorgeous monster girls. And, true, I seem to be the luckiest guy in the universe for many reasons...but...well...what was I saying again?

An odd twist of fate made me the newest resident in Meteoropolis, a city hurtling through space on an ancient comet. After waking up in a containment pod, I got assigned to live with a unicorn gamer girl as my host. Not only did I need to find a job and a place to live, but I had to get used to bumping elbows with demons, dragons, aliens, and elves! But somehow, that wasn't even the craziest part. When I arrived in this strange new world, I found out my soul had fused with a solar dragon. Suddenly, I had powers beyond anything even the magical residents of this city were capable of.

After a century of civil strife in Rome and Italy, the poet Virgil wrote The Aeneid to honor the emperor Augustus by praising Aeneas, Augustus's legendary ancestor. As a patriotic epic imitating Homer, The Aeneid also set out to provide Rome with a literature equal to that of Greece.

Welcome to Dragons & Damsels! Come, come, have a seat. We have a special treat for you. Look behind me—do you see those names on the wall? Yes, I see you recognize some of them. They've given me something wondrous, wondrous indeed. Right here in this tome are tales that are meant to excite, arouse, and sate a listener's soul with action, lust, and adventure.

Now that I know what Dracula has planned for me, the pressure is on. Failure is hardly an option.... At the same time, if I'm supposed to one day preside over the Wallachian Vampires, how am I supposed to prove myself to those that are centuries older than me? I have to get stronger, be smarter. I have to succeed. Meanwhile, my rivals in House Wolf seem likely to call off the truce at any moment. Actually, that's the least of my worries. It turns out that there are legendary beings from other worlds trying to steal the Netherveil away from Dracula—and it's going to be my job to help defend it.

Claiming the solar dragon’s hoard was only the first step. It’s time for the Dream Girls and me to make our own “happily-ever-after,” but there’s still much to do. If the gods are absent from Meteoropolis, then I’ll play God in the meantime. I’ll fix this city with my cosmically vast array of solar dragon powers and banish the Void Cartel once and for all with the help of my friends and allies. I’ll use the secrets that my sister taught me to find ‘the Elloway’ and guide him home.

If you would have told me a month ago that I'd be a dragon superhero living in a domed fantasy city in outer space, I'd have laughed in your face. If you added the detail that I'd have three awesomely cute roommates competing for my attention, I'd thank you for believing in me...but remain skeptical. Yet those things are both true, and life just keeps getting weirder, wilder, and more awesome. Well—mostly awesome. Turns out my unicorn roommate's soul is merged with an unhinged high elf in the same way I'm fused with my dragon half.
