Margin House publishes books that challenge shame, expand erotic imagination, and bring consent, intelligence, and emotional depth to the places most people avoid.
We see sexuality and kink as meaningful parts of being human, not fringe curiosities.
The Art of Knife Play
The Art of Knife Play is a clear, accessible introduction to one of kink’s most intense and misunderstood practices.
Therapist and kink educator Sarah Newbold (she/her) walks you through everything you need to know, from choosing a knife that is safe for play to negotiating boundaries, building trust, and using hands-on techniques with control and confidence.
Whether you are simply curious or ready to deepen your skills, this guide offers practical advice, real-world clarity, and a kink-affirming approach that helps you explore knife play with responsibility, steadiness, and care.
Held: Latex Portraits
Held: Latex Portaits is a short, intimate collection of photographs and reflections by writer and artist Louise Seren.
Working at the intersection of fetish and fine art, Seren pairs striking self portraits with grounded, personal writing on what rubber does to the body, the gaze, and intimacy itself.
This is not a coffee-table tome or encyclopaedia of fetish history. At just under 30 pages, Held is a slim but resonant book: part photobook, part reflective essay, and part queer-art object.
Inside, readers will find:
A series of high-quality portraits shot across locations: forest, sea, domestic interiors, and surreal staged sets.
Four reflective interludes: Wrestling with Rubber, Shiny Truths, Friction, and Queer Beauty — that explore latex as awkward, confronting, resistant, and beautiful.
Closing fragments that leave space for the reader’s own reflection.
Held is best understood not as a survey or comprehensive monograph, but as a meditation; a glimpse into latex as lived texture and queer ritual.
For those who live inside shiny play, and for those simply curious, it offers a rare, thoughtful entry point.
