Swag Tuesday

Courtesy of Carroll & Graf, this week’s swag is The Mammoth Book Of New Gay Erotica, edited by Lawrence Schimel and featuring stories by a stable of notables.

A classic updated – Presenting the hot, new edition of the seminal collection of erotica by and about gay men, The Mammoth Book of New Gay Erotica features over 30 short pieces of gay erotic fiction for a vivid sensual experience. Extending beyond the genre, these works are representative of queer life sans the stereotypes, documenting sexual realities as often as the fantasies.

This scintillating volume includes short masterpieces by successful writers from around the world. Boasting rare gems, new commissioned work, complete erotic novellas, and intriguing characters – The Mammoth Book of New Gay Erotica is in turn amusing, heart-racing, and achingly romantic. With gems from such names as Booker-prize winner Alan Hollinghurst (The Line of Beauty), Felice Picano, Kirk Read (How I Learned to Snap), Neil Bartlett, Aaron Travis, as well as newcomers, this is a key collection as popular culture increasingly features and seeks to understand homoerotic desire.

New Gay Erotica comes out on June 1st. As before, commenting on this post enters you to win the book. Only your first comment counts and please leave your email. Publicists: if you’d like to take part in Swag Tuesdays on JMG, please email me.
