ed. by Steve Berman
The latest edition of Wilde Stories, once more edited by Steve Berman, promises readers a range of imaginative gay-themed fiction culled from the prior year. These are tales that range from the horrific to the surreal to the fantastical. Many of the authors included have won awards for their fiction, and their stories seek to press new boundaries of loneliness, loss and love between men and monsters (and those men who happen to be monsters).

"Dim Star Descried" by Sven Davisson
