Stories to Sing in the Dark by Matthew Bright

Stories to Sing in the Dark by Matthew Bright

The speculative shines bright in the dark with these stories by Matthew Bright: a boy with a secret begins work at a strange library housing all the books never written; Dorian Gray's love of beauty struggles in the face of AIDs-era San Francisco and the Castro; the tomb of the Empress is adrift in space and hungry for the concubines aboard her; two men in an old film finally realize that they are trapped but still they seek the means for finally declaring their love for each other. These and other tales of the queer fantastic should be the perfect bedtime read. A finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Speculative Fiction

To pay the expenses and keep his dog in the life she has been accustomed, he works as a book designer during the day.
