This expanded volume collects the finest gay speculative fiction of the prior year--stories of undead lovers, stranded astronauts, ghosts and phantom reflections, men lost in an inhospitable wilderness, and fiends who hide under handsome veneers, written by award-winning authors Laird Barron, Richard Bowes, and Joel Lane, and fresh voices in the field Nick Poniatowski and Jeffrey Ricker.… (plus d'informations)

This is an absolutely cracking collection. All interest in gay fiction aside it deserves to be read and appreciated by all fans of speculative fiction, though some will find the collection too heavy on horror, it's time to throw our hands up and admit that horror is on the ascendant and will eclipse both fantasy and scifi for the next few years. All we can do is seek out the good stuff.
Reviews of individual stories, as I can be bothers to add them, are below the spoiler cut
Love Will Tear Us Apart by Alaya Dawn Johnson A lot of people will be turned off by the fact that it's yet another zombie story (although, presumably somewhere out there are the people fuling the zombie boom who are as hungry for more zombie fic as... no, I won't finish that simile). I am not a zombie fan, but I have been terrified of prions after seeing a documentary about CJD when I was a kid. So on a creepy level the story worked for me. The love story was quite thinly sketched and the 'we like the same music and are therefore soulmates' trope always bugs me but I could let it slide for the quality of the writing.
“Waiting for the Phone to Ring” by Richard Bowes This was read edge of the chair stuff. The meat of the story is always just out of sight, in a way that's enthralling rather than irritating.
