The genre of horror has in the past been the exclusive province
of heterosexual writers and themes, stereotypically involving a
male antagonist and a female victim. Although the incursions into
the field by such writers as Anne Rich and Poppy Z. Brite have
largely blurred sexual orientation boundaries, there has never been
an anthology of horror stories where the protagonists are clearly
gay?until now. "Queer Fear" is a striking and ambitious collection
of gay horror fiction by some of today's hottest authors and
talented newcomers, covering a wide range of creatures of the night
and all manner of urban terrors. These dark and sometimes
disturbing tales expand the boundaries of the horror genre, with
the sexuality of their protagonists a point of reference for the
"horror" of otherness that defines and, at times, divides us.
