ISBN: 9780786717552.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNominated for a 2008 LAMMY Award!\n\nSimon Sheppard opens this first-of-its-kind book with a whirlwind tour of gay history as reflected in queer men’s one-handed reading, from the era of World War II - when sex stories were mimeographed in Tijuana and smuggled to the States - to today’s ubiquitous web-based porn.Included in the collection are well-remembered stories by renowned authors like Jack Fritscher, Aaron Travis, and Bob Vickery alongside old pulp-paperback pornography and up-to-the-minute “literotica.” A rough-trade biker takes a farm boy to the barn in a 1953 story by Phil Andros. Richard Amory’s 1966 Old West classic, “Song of the Loon,” sets a horny frontiersman among hunky Indian tribes. In John Preston’s 1979 iconic “Mr. Benson,” a submissive finds his ultimate master. In Sheppard’s wide-ranging collection, men have sex in a psychedelic-60’s Berkeley orgy, Under fire in Vietnam, and on a roadside somewhere in Texas. Populated by a colorful mix of characters, from leathermen, drag queens, sailors, and hustlers to uptight accountants and gay vampires - this is an outstanding new collection put together by one of gay erotica’s favorite voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Running Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213297213493,"sku":"ByrdShop_0786717556","price":226.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780786717552_6677f007-3ffc-4351-9214-7ef80844ff86.jpg?v=1779913293","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/homosex-sixty-years-of-gay-erotica-9780786717552","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
