Praise for this book

''In this gripping horror collection, Thomas slices open the underbelly of human nature with surgical precision to offer an unforgettable glimpse at the horrors just inside. Though sometimes the protagonists' homosexuality is almost incidental, many of the stories are driven by the unhappy places in gay culture and the terrible effects of bigotry.'' - Publishers Weekly starred review
