Staff Pick: Sam says…
This breakout and runaway hit from the hottest new indie on the block, Cipher Press, is a rolicking and rutting collection of stories about gay desire. Purnell’s characters seduce their colleagues’ partners and solicit sex on their lunch breaks. It is a filthy, foulmouthed and absolutely hilarious celebration of gay sex in all its forms (the story about the Satanist Warlock encounter is particularly memorable). At times unexpectedly abrupt and brutal, as characters fight self-sabotaging tendencies, these stories are just as often unexpectedly tender.
