Trysts - A Triskaidecollection of Queer and Weird Stories by Steve Berman
Trysts is a collection of darkly erotic tales that weave together to form the world of the Fallen, a ruined city peopled by runaways drawn to the freedom, magic and danger of the mystical district. The boy on boy erotica will entice gay readers into this dark fantasy, and Steve Berman's clean prose will keep you there. His work bridges the gap between erotica and fantasy and blends them into a new genre. - SM (Read a more detailed review)

Hard Men by Patrick Califia
Bikers, hustlers, cops, leathermen, bears, and even a vampire are just a few of the hard men you'll meet in this mind-blowing collection of searing, balls-to-the-wall, bad-to-the-bone erotic writing by the legendary Patrick Califia. All we can say is, damn, that's hot! Patrick Califia is a noted pornographer and cultural critic whose writing and activism have revolutionized queer sex. Among his most noted books are Coming to Power, Macho Sluts, Melting Point, No Mercy, and Speaking Sex to Power.

Desire Lust Passion Sex by Jameson Currier
Gay dating in Mahattan can be murder, and Jameson Currier has skillfully captured the erotic and humerous nuances of blind dates and tricking in his most recent collection of short stories. At turns painfully funny and incisive, Currier pursues the ellusive relationship, the perfect trick and the married man with a sympathetic honesty. - SM

The Wild Creatures by Sam D'Allesandro
The collected works of Sam D’Allesandro, a precocious young voice whose voice was silenced at 31. It includes all of his published stories, including the out-of-print cult classic "The Zombie Pit", as well as unpublished stories found among his papers years after his death by his editor, the poet and novelist Kevin Killian. The Wild Creatures explores a strange terrain of urban legend, the power of sexual obsession, and the thin line where the too-cool becomes the too-hot. It is clear why Sam D’Allesandro’s focused, vivid writing remains the stuff of legend.
Additional comment from Sean Meriwether: If it had not been for Suspect Thoughts Press, I might never have discovered the work of Sam D'Allesandro if they had not republished this collection. His prose is spare and direct, at times darkly erotic, and auto-biographically confessional in tone. What it might lack in polish it makes up for ten fold in blunt force. His micro-fiction is especially intense, with standouts "Walking to the Ocean this Morning" and "All I Want Is To Die Famous", both pieces under three pages with the same impact as being slammed by a truck. A high recommend for readers of non-mainstream queer lit and erotica.

When Dogs Bark by Charles Harvey
Not since Joseph Beam, Essex Hemphill, and Assotto Saint has any literary work reached out and touched the black gay male. When Dogs Bark, a collection of stories and poems by award winning writer Charles W. Harvey (PEN/Southwest 1987) is raw, soulful, sassy, sometimes painful, but always truthful. The book's titled story, "When Dogs Bark" has been widely anthologized in SHADE, Soulfires, STORY, and in other anthologies. So grab a chair, sit a spell, and read about the barking man, the "young niggas" the confused butch, and the serial Killa.

Little Men by Kevin Killian
Kevin Killian's forte as a writer has always been to merge his life with his fiction, his imagination with his reality. In Little Men, a collection of prose pieces, the line between fact and fancy, between actuality and invention is constantly blurred. Killian the writer becomes Killian the character as he shifts and shreds the conventions of traditional genres. A high school memoir of sexual exploits with priests is placed next to a meta-fiction about a drunken "Kevin" taking his son to the movies. Killian imagines alternative realities that dazzle us with his magic and his nerve.

Satyriasis: Literotica² by Ian Philips
Gentlemanly ladies and ladylike gentlemen, you hold in your hands a hot piece of history. Satyriasis is the first pansexual collection of literotica to feature two—yes, two—stories in which the god Pan himself appears. And if that weren’t history in the making, it also marks the return of queer devil-child Ian Philips. Once again, he leaves no prodigal son unspanked and no udder of any sacred cow untweaked. Take a look inside and behold: Adam and Eve and Steve in a motel room; Lezzie Beddeath, San Francisco’s king of cabaret and potluck hostess with the Fellini-esque mostest; a shrimp boat captain with a fetish for big toes and bigger losers; a hustler with a mad love for Edgar Allan Poe and a mad hate for dot-commers caught unawares on a client’s webcam; the Alpha-Bits, A-list Bears in San Francisco’s ultraluxe den; two beloved dentists who like to play rough after-hours with the tools of their trade; and Mistress Lysistrata, dominatrix to the world’s most powerful men and bearing the mother of all Trojan Horses in the 8" heel of her shoe.

Hotter than Hell by Simon Sheppard
Simon Sheppard challenges erotica to be all that it can be, exploring not just the physical act of sex but the emotional, psychological, and even spiritual components of sexuality. Get ready to be blown away as hard-as-nails hustlers, sweet Kansas boys, and everyone in between are swept away by need, frustration, lust, and, yeah, love, in intense, sometimes nasty couplings that excite and satisfy. Hotter Than Hell notches erotica up another level, stimulating both the mind and other, less cerebral body parts.

His Tongue by Lawrence Schimel
Whether writing about an encounter in a sauna or the dynamics of a sexual relationship, Lawrence Schimel blends the power of lust with the spiritual and emotional aspects of sex. Schimel doesn't shy away from confronting issues such as safe sex, monogamy, and open relationships. In these titillating tales, the author has created a new form of erotic literature: a thinking man's pornography.

Johnny Was & Other Tall Tales by Greg Wharton
Johnny Was & Other Tall Tales is a collection of short erotic fiction by EAA Award-winning author and editor Greg Wharton. Lambda Literary Award winner Ian Philips says, "Greg Wharton takes his place with Dennis Cooper, Scott Heim, Brian Pera, and JT Leroy as a barker-cum-bard on the Pomo-Pinocchio Island of Misfit Boys Craving Other Misfit Boys. His siren song is deceptively simple but no less deadly. By the end of Johnny Was, your heart won’t be all that’s aching."

...But I Know What You Want by James Williams
An erotic, assumption-challenging collection of short stories--the first complete anthology from the author of America's most respected short erotica. From the frontiers of sexual identity comes this masterful erotic chronicle. Humans become animals, adults become infants, the proud become humble and libertines become virgins in this deeply erotic and foundation-shaking volume that asks readers to suspend disbelief about sexual orientation. Is author James Williams gay or straight, dominant or submissive, male or female? Does it matter?

Toilet by Thomas Woolley
"We're more than fortunate to have a revised version published of Thomas Woolley's Toilet. Amped up with two new stories, Toilet is far from some nostalgic I [heart] the Queer '90s. The narrator in 'Fuckoff.com' writes that, 'I look at shock as armor in a life that is essentially one brutal offensive strike.' Originally published in 1998, those words ring even truer in today's era of Bush II, Iraq II, and 9/11. Woolley's stories break through that state of shock. They are revitalizing rather than numbing. Toilet is an electro-paddle jolt to jump-start our current times. It's a punch to the gut, an insistent kiss, a shot in the arm to wake up, breathe deeply, and be inspired. Inspired to fight for the world you want." - D. Travers Scott
