Wilde Stories 2009: The Year's Best Gay Speculative Fiction - Wilde Stories: The Year's Best Gay Speculative Fiction (Cloth) Steve Berman

Publisher Marketing: The latest edition of Wilde Stories, once more edited by Steve Berman--a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for the last volume--promises readers a range of imaginative gay-themed fiction culled from the prior year. These are tales that range from the chilling (Lee Thomas' "I'm Your Violence") to the surreal (Sven Davisson's "Dim Star Descried") to the fantastical ("Firooz and His Brother" by Alex Jeffers). 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 monster (and those men who happen to be monsters). Contributor Bio:  Berman, Steve Lambda Award-nominated editor Steve Berman has been writing stories both queer and strange for many years. He is the author of Vintage: A Ghost Story (Haworth) and his work has appeared in the fantasy anthologies The Faery Reel and The Coyote Road.
