In this grisly anthology of gay-themed short stories, a carefully selected assortment of fictional vignettes are brought together to form an eclectic compilation of stories on conflict and war. Opening with an insider’s take on military brutality in war-torn Baghdad and following with a blend of acclaimed authors—such as Neil Bartlett, Desmond Hogan, and Richard Zimler—and up-and-comers, this heart-wrenching anthology represents writings from a wide range of international locales, including Britain, Ireland, Spain, Canada, and the United States. Sometimes serious, often sinister, at times light-hearted, and always absorbing, these stories contain something to satisfy readers of all tastes.
