by
gay sci fi

We all come to LGBT speculative fiction from different places. Some of us were “straight” romance writers who stumbled across MM/FF romance and genre fiction and loved it. Some of us were writers (and readers) of “mainstream” sci fi or fantasy or paranormal (or all three) and then found LGBT genre fiction later. So we all come in expecting different things. What’s more important to you in an LGBT sci fi, fantasy or paranormal story story? The cool tech/magic/paranormal aspect? The flavor of the culture / society? The relationships / romance (if any)? What is it that most draws you … Read more

“Meatworks” by Jordan Castillo Price

by

Genre: MM Urban Science Fiction Length: Novel THE CHARACTERIZATION of Desmond Poole in Meatworks by Jordan Castillo Price is some of the best protagonist work I’ve seen in a while. Desmond Poole is a punk, a drunk, and a dirty asshole. He’s disabled and living off the government (though not well), and his ex, Jim, is his social worker. At this point the faint of heart should probably put the book down. It’s not the rest of our problems if you thought you liked it gritty but then realized that you were a pansy. If you do stick with it, … Read more
