"Richard Labonte is, among many other wonderful things, America's great gay erotic anthologist, indefatigably collecting and curating our various dreams, desires, unholy deliriums and blessed depravities. He's a national treasure."
--Paul Russell, author of "The Unreal Life of Sergey Nabokov"

"The stories are poignant and thought-provoking in many cases, but downright hot in all cases. The variety of stories in this collection is unrivaled."
