James Bennett
Preaching to the Perverted features thirteen dark tales, each drawn from gay lived experience and given a twist of horror. In these pages, you’ll find the erotic and the grotesque. A Kafkaesque alien comes out. Bigoted parents fall foul of fairies. A power-bottom Frankenstein wrestles with his conscience. A transgender thief throws a Pride parade in Lovecraftian Arkham. A bitter old queen makes a Faustian pact. And a dejected angel falls in love at the End of the World. Each story comes from the heart, throbbing with visceral gay energy. Save your prayers. And come inside.

"I really loved this collection. It has great range - Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling's fairy tale series, cosmic horror, noir, The Prestige, coming of age stories, the gothic of Mary Shelley - but there's nothing derivative about it. It's heartfelt and gutsy. Filled with beautiful horrors and heartbreaks. James Bennett is a superb writer." - Priya Sharma, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Pomegranates
