GunnShots: Summer 2012: Southern Fried, Zero Break, and Boystown 4 Reviewed at Lambda Literary!

GunnShots: Summer 2012:

Book cover First Round: Rob Rosen’s Southern Comfort - “So many writers try to be humorous and end up merely being cute; Rosen, for one, has mastered camp. His depiction of the South deliberately uses stereotypes; that too becomes part of the fun.”
Book cover Fourth Round: Tropical Perils – Neil Plakcy’s Zero Break: “The resulting domesticity could be fraught with dangers within the continuing construct of the Mahu fictional world and for the author’s rapport with his gay readers. It also has real potential.”
Book cover Fifth Round: Hearts’ Ache – Marshall Thornton’s Boystown 4: A Time for Secrets: “The author has taken some of the most hoary plot elements and made them seem fresh. His recall of the confusion and growing fear that “the gay disease” unleashed at the time is spot on.”
