Best Gay Erotica 2012

ABOUT THE EDITORS

RICHARD LABONTÉ (tattyhill@gmail.com), when he’s not skimming dozens of anthology submissions a month, or reviewing one hundred or so books a year for Q Syndicate, or turning turgid bureaucratic prose into comprehensible English for the Inter-American Development Bank or the Reeves of Renfrew County, Ontario, or coordinating the judging of the Lambda Literary Awards, or crafting the best croutons ever at his weekend work in a Bowen Island recovery center kitchen, likes to startle deer as he walks terrier/schnauzer Zak, accompanied by husband Asa, through the island’s temperate rainforest. In season, he fills pails with salmonberries, blackberries and huckleberries. Yum. Since 1997, he has edited almost forty erotic anthologies, though “pornographer” was not an original career goal.

LARRY DUPLECHAN is the author of five novels, including Blackbird and the Lambda Literary Award–winning Got ’til it’s Gone. His first novel, Eight Days A Week, was banned from the Illinois State Penal System for being “without redeeming social value.” As you read this, he is very likely studying New Testament Greek or reading a gay erotic comic book on his iPad.
