dangerous and lovely

ok, full disclosure, i have a story in this anthology, so when i say "it's so good you have to buy it right now!" i am acting partly out of self-interest. (meaning if you DO buy it, check out the story "Depression Halved Production Costs.") BUT i also think this anthology is absolutely amazing in ways that have nothing to do with my story, probably largely because Mattilda was the editor, and Mattilda does not f*ck around, but also because it has writers like Dennis Cooper and Alexander Chee in it, whose work is reason to keep on living. SO if you're thinking to yourself, 'i should buy an anthology of gay erotica,' well, there's billions to choose from, and i think this should be the one.

HOT and Smart!!!

I don't usually read Best Gay Erotica, but I saw that Mattilda a.k.a. Matt Bernstein Sycamore was the editor this year and I rushed out to get a copy (he wrote Pulling Taffy, which drove me wild). On the back cover, Sycamore says, "this book is dangerous and lovely, just like you," and he does not disappoint. I was surprised at the amazing variety of stories, from a teenager having sex with Allen Ginsberg to bathroom cruising that takes on more meaning than you can imagine, to military sex with a TV screen. Be sure to check out stories by Kirk Read, Trebor Healey, Thorn Kief Hillsbery, and Steve Zeeland, and Sycamore's incredible introduction. There's so much variety here, and what's especially impressive is the high quality, creativity and nonstop energy of the writing.
