	All Books by William S Burroughs - Author of : The Place of Dead Roads Paperback - 336 pages (May 2001) Picador USA; ISBN: 0312278659 "General Gay Fiction Books; William Burroughs's surreal fable set in America's Old West features a cast of notorious characters: The Crying Gun, who breaks into tears at the sight of his opponent; The Priest, who goes into gunfights giving his adversaries the last rites; and The Nihilistic Kid himself, Kim Carson, who with a succession of beautiful sidekicks sets out to challenge the morality of smalltown America. With a narrative of fantastical proportions and a rich, dry, growling humour, The Place of Dead Roads continues Burroughs's exploration of society's controlling forces - the State, the Church, women, literature, drugs - with a style utterly unique in twentieth-century literature."

	All Books by Kim Carlson - Author of : Breakfast in Bedlam Paperback - 256 pages (6 September, 1991) Gay Men's Press; ISBN: 0854491686 "General Gay Fiction Books; (Reader Review) The thing that struck me when I came across this book, apart from what a distinct queer sensibility it has, was that it was like reading someone's most disturbed dreams. It is peculiarly unnerving, but at the same time quite compelling... full of really bizarre imagery, gothic ideas, but yet also very funny. I loved it: it's totally unlike anything I've read before!"

	All Books by William Corlett - Author of : Two Gentlemen Sharing Paperback - 391 pages new edition (18 June, 1998) Abacus; ISBN: 0349108307 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "General Gay Fiction Books; Bellingford is a sleepy village set amid gently rolling countryside. Whatever scandals may occur there, they always take place behind closed doors and carefully laundered lace curtains. In short, Bellingford is a typical English village. That is until the news breaks that the Hall House has been sold at last and the rumour starts that the new occupants are to be 'two gentlemen, sharing'. With the arrival of Rich and Bless - newly in love and eager for domesticity - the scene is set for mayhem and uproar. And with Rich on a business trip to the States, Bless is plunged into a vortex of events that leaves him gasping for the cosy domesticity of Earl's Court on a Saturday night.... TWO GENTLEMEN SHARING is a roller coaster ride through the sexual mores of life, a comedy of manners that spirals from gentle humour to the heights of farce." Click to buy this book in Canada, UK:
	All Books by Alan Cumming - Author of : Tommy's Tale: A Novel Hardcover: 288 pages ; (August 20, 2002) Regan Books; ISBN: 0060394447 "General Gay Fiction Books; In his debut novel Tommy's Tale, Alan Cumming writes like the love child of Nick Hornby and Dan Savage. His protagonist, Tommy, an E-popping, pansexual Londoner, reads like one of Hornby's won't-grow-up urban Peter Pans. The plot, of course, lies in seeing these characters dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood. Tommy eventually follows this story arc, but with a lot of absolutely filthy sex thrown in along the way--that's where the Dan Savage factor comes into play. Like that august columnist, Tommy never met a sex act he didn't want to a) engage in, and b) describe in lifelike detail. Aside from his sexcapades, Tommy spends his time hanging out with his sort-of boyfriend Charlie, working as a photographer's assistant, taking drugs, and creating a bohemian dream flat with his beloved roommates. His life is about fun until he finds himself growing attached to Charlie's 8-year-old son Finn. As a result of this relationship, he develops an itch to have a kid of his own, and the rest of this hyperkinetic, diaristic novel is devoted to that pursuit. Unfortunately, Tommy is a narrator utterly without a filter--he just natters on and on about whatever enters his head. At best, this style is chatty. At worst, it's out-and-out logorrhea. As an actor and a screenwriter, Alan Cumming is a dizzyingly sophisticated, gleefully ironic, and achingly sentimental force. Alan Cumming as an author is, well, not. - Claire Dederer (Amazon.com)" Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
