| Gaywyck by Vincent Virga |
 |
Originally published in 1980, Gaywyck, the first gay gothic romance, tread firmly in beloved territory, both honoring it and reinventing it. Classic in style, Vincent Virga creates a world as authentic as anything penned by DuMaurier, retaining the creaking ancestral mansion and mysterious and brooding master of the manor, while replacing the traditional damsel in distress with the young and handsome Robert Whyte, who was hired to catalog the vast library at Gaywyck. But before he can perform his real duty--of soothing the master's tortured heart--young Robert must first uncover the hidden evil lurking in the background and dodge murder and blackmail to root out the dark family secrets threatening to destroy him. Praised for its authentic use of language and setting as well as its honest portrayal of gay life and love in fin di secle America, Gaywyck is a classic of both gay and gothic fiction.

| Geography Club by Brent Hartinger. List Price:$15.99 |
 |
With an opening like "I was deep behind enemy lines, in the very heart of the opposing camp." I half expected an oppressive 'us and them' mentality to dominate the whole of Hartinger's plot and confine this wonderful first novel to the exclusive pigeon hole of teen homosexual literature. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Geography club is a gentle and honest story about a young man's struggle to find common ground, told in the unique but identifiable first person voice of Russel Middlebrook.

| Getting Off Clean by Timothy Murphy. List Price:£8.99 |
 |
Gay male coming-out novels usually deal more with the personal than with the political, but Getting Off Clean encompasses both. Eric Fitzpatrick is a bright, high school senior in Mendham, a working-class town in Massachusetts. He is determined to fit in, be popular, and go to college. The only problem is that he is gay and just coming out--a problem complicated when he begins having an affair with Brooks Tremont, a black student who attends a prestigious prep school outside of town. When racial violence breaks out in Mendham, both Eric and Brooks have to make some serious choices. Getting Off Clean, deftly written and incredibly smart, challenges us to think in new ways about sexuality, class, race, and the accomplishments of gay fiction.

| Glove Puppet by Neal Drinnan. List Price:$12.95 |
 |
When seven-year-old Johnny Smith's mother, a heroin-addicted prostitute, OD's in London's Victoria Station, Australian dancer Martin Usher, who has lost his own seven-year-old son, "adopts" the boy on the spot. Martin, aka Shabash, whisks Johnny to Sydney, where, as Vaslav (Vas for short), he grows up in a performing-arts world full of gay men. He proves sexually precocious, and no sooner does puberty arrive than he kiddishly badgers Shabash into a brief encounter. From then until he is 20, Johnny-Vas' primary activities are sex, unabashedly described, and drugs. A few years after their initial bout, he seduces Shabash, whom he genuinely loves, into frequent sex, which is eventually publicly and ruinously exposed. Johnny-Vas feels responsible and maybe even evil, but he seems indomitable and irrepressible, too. Drinnan's debut triumphantly revives the picaresque manner of Daniel Defoe. Like Colonel Jack or Roxana, this is the ostensibly autobiographical account, racy as hell, of a rogue who commits enormities and has moral qualms about them but whose spirit and allure remain intact. Mark Twain seems another forebear of Drinnan's achievement, and hip, intelligent, sexy Johnny-Vas is one of the few literary adolescents as robust and intriguing as Huck Finn.
