"Most outstanding of the gay novels read this month," said California Scene. "An amusing and entertaining story told in the first person by Paul, an ex-Gay trying desperately to go straight. In fact, he's a couple of weeks away from marrying the boss's daughter when the saga opens...until Paul's former lover, Lorin, suddenly appears. This might seem trouble enough--but Lorin has been dead for the past five years!"  Borgo Press is pleased to represent a true classic of gay literature, now available again for the first time in four decades.

Roger needed Lenny, or thought he did. . .but he did not need Zak or Marty, or the way Lenny acted under their influence. And he definitely did not need to have them move in which him. But Roger's needs and wants were no longer on Lenny's mind. He had another agenda: taking Roger for all he was worth. And he didn't particularly care what he had to do to get his hands on the family jewels!  A classic novel of gay life.

Stranger at the Door

Erotica

A legendary name from the Golden Age of Paperbacks, VICTOR J. BANIS spins a witty and exuberant tale of A Thousand and One Knights, flitting blithely from tale to tail, in one era and out the other. Part autobiography, part a history of the Gay Revolution, part writing manual, part juicy gossip, with a few tasty recipes thrown in for good measure, Spine Intact, Some Creases is a summing up -- alternately hilarious and touching, instructive and impassioned, and always entertaining -- of the remarkable life and work of a writer hailed by top gay pulp historian Michael Bronski as "one of my heroes." "Banis' memoir provides a poignant history of West Coast paperback publishing in the Sixties, and one author's journey from small beginnings to critical and financial success as a writer -- but it's far more than that: witty, elegantly written, funny, sad, smart, and even wise. Every penman-apprentice should read this book -- twice!" -- Robert Reginald.

History & Criticism

That debonair Man from C.A.M.P., Jackie Holmes, is back once more! This time the crusader for gay justice is thrown into the most fracturingly funny escapade of his career, being joined by an unbelievably incompetent household of characters, who go by the code name of WATERCRESS, and who insist on helping him with his (barely) dangerous mission. And in process we encounter the antics of such individuals as the straightlaced CIA agent, Craig Mathews, Aunt Lily, Aunt Nasturtia, Aunt Marigold, Honeysuckle the pianist, the gigantic Gladiola, and the very strange Nick. Of course, Jackie always winds up on top in the end. Sounds like business as usual for this ever-C.A.M.P.-ish series! First publication in 45 years.

Wilde Stories 2008: The Best of the Year's Gay Speculative Fiction

As such literary movements as interstitial and slipstream gain momentum, more and more authors interweave their traditional stories with gay themes as coming out, homophobia, and self-as-other, with a bit of the strange and weird. Named after one of the founding fathers of gay speculative fiction, Wilde Stories is a new annual anthology that offers readers the best of such stories from the prior year. Editor Steve Berman, a finalist for both the Lambda Literary and Andre Norton Awards, has collected an engaging selection of the fantastical, the strange, and the scary from such notable authors as Victor J. Banis, Hal Duncan and Lee Thomas. Includes the winner of the Gaylactic Spectrum Award for best queer-themed short story.
