Grab Bag 22

Gay Erotia Shorts - Grab Bag 22 is a sixteen-story collection in habu’s eclectic anthology series of active gay male life and tribulations short stories.

These stories, presented in the order in which they were written, were composed during the summer, fall, and winter of 2020–21. Most of the stories in the collection are from contemporary time. Only two of them, “French Letters” and “The Ellerslie Effect” also dip into history. Habu is wide-ranging in his settings. Half of these stories are set in the United States, from New York down to Savannah and from East Coast to West, but half are set internationally, mostly in Europe: Italy, France, Spain, Germany, and an unidentified Mediterranean village. One is set in the American Virgin Islands and one in Borneo, Indonesia.

All of the stories are set in a hedonist world where being actively gay and on the make is the norm and rough sex is sometimes the goal and the fulfillment, and we hope readers enjoy them with this in mind.
