I devoured "Lesser Evil," by THE 'Nathan Burgoine.

Now, looking forward to reading "The Plan," by Charles "Zan" Christensen.

I finished devouring "The Ice King," by THE Tom Cardamone.

Sometime in the morning, after I wake up, I shall happily begin reading "Lesser Evil," by THE 'Nathan Burgoine.

I finished reading "After Balenciaga," by Marshall Moore, and also read "The Third Estate," by Lee Thomas. Also, dripping with prophecy, of what is happening currently in the United States.

Now, I AM at "The Ice King," written by the editor of this Anthology, THE Tom Cardamone.

I completed reading "The Meek Shall Inherit," by Jamie Freeman. In a word, wow!

Soon, I shall read "After Balenciaga," by Marshall Moore.

I finished reading "The Web," by Steven Bereznai, and currently reading "The Meek Shall Inherit," by Jamie Freeman.

Given all the "The Handsmaid's Tale"/Christofascism taking place in the United States, a short story that was included in an Anthology of Queer Short Stories published in July, 2013, seems quite telling. And prophetic.

Near the end of "The Web," by Steven Bereznai.

I admit, I first thought it had something to do with superheroes/supervillains with Internet-like powers, but I should have gone with a simpler idea. Think an older, more muscular, Gay male Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

A few pages into "The Web," by Steven Bereznai.

I have been a fan of THE Tom Cardamone since I first saw him with THE Trebor Healey at a book reading event at a Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Manhattan/NYC, back in 2016 or 2017.

I have already read "Light and Dark," by Damon Shaw, and looking forward to reading "The Web," by Steven Bereznai.
