Fresh from 1999's Titanic: Forbidden Stories Hollywood Forgot, this
tasty collection follows in the 4-part series of Jack Fritscher's
seminal Corporal in Charge of Taking Care of Captain O'Malley and
Other Stories as well as Rainbow County and Other Stories, actual
Winner BEA National Small Press Book Award. "I was right hailing
Fritscher's stories for their creativity, insight, and intensity.
Fritscher has carved out a niche in the world of short-story
fiction that is hard to match. To my taste, he stands as unique and
memorable. This is swell fiction in the best Fritscher manner ...
mental and physical ... What an unsettling, surprising, and
scandalously sexual writer " -John F. Karr, Manifesto Reader and
Bay Area Reporter
Gathered from hot gay magazines (where test-marketed by
readers), 22 diverse stories by this popular cult author include:
the bittersweet romance of San Francisco hustler/punk, "How Buddy
Left Me"; the daring race-card of "Black on Blond"; the
Foucault-existentialism of the speech-and-hearing impaired "Bear"
of "Prison Blues." Author pumps variety with two 'chamber-music'
sex pieces: "Horsemaster" and "Cigar Sarge." Refreshing also are
the virginal coming-out/coming-of-age/coming-to-grips stories:
"Frathouse Pledge, " "Goatboy, " "Wish They All Could Be California
Boys, " and "Beach-Blanket Surfboy Blues." The intense Fatal
Attraction revenge-story "The Lords of Leather" stands alone as a
High Dramatic Moment in Gay Time.
You can bank on the true blue power of this best-selling
literary series
Archetypal Fathers and Sons connect in the classic Christmas
story, "Daddy's Big Shave" as well as in "The Daddy Mystique."

video-oriented: "Casting Couch, " "Taping the Uncut Hillbilly
Brothers, " and "Guerneville: Young Russian River Rats." Also
includes the author's 5-story novella, Boyfriends of San Francisco,
a teen sex comedy, which was filmed by famed San Francisco director
