GenreQueer

A genre-bending collection of queer short stories

Harry F. Rey

Step into a world where the past, present, and future converge in vibrant tales of queer love, loss, and rebellion. In GenreQueer, Harry F. Rey takes readers on a genre-bending journey, each story a window into the lives of queer characters shaped by time and desire.

This is not merely a collection of stories; it’s a tribute to the unyielding spirit of LGBTQ+ lives. Through seventeen outrageously gay short stories, Rey invites you to share in the rich tapestry of experiences that define us, exploring the intricate ways queer people connect in worlds both real and imagined.

Each tale is infused with Rey's signature wit and introspection, as he celebrates the ghosts of queer lives past and present, and hints at those yet to come. From the artistic enclaves of 1930s Paris to the underground clubs of Berlin, from teenage love across divided cities to chance encounters on space ships, GenreQueer is a celebration of queer resilience, gay identity, and the timeless pursuit of belonging.

GenreQueer publishes October 25.

Cookies, Candles, and Cute Butts for Christmas

Cameron D. James & Cali Kitsu

It’s gonna be a hot Christmas in Frosty Bottoms, when Braden, the new hunky veterinarian strolls into town, but this gorgeous man is no stranger, and he’s no longer a vet. He’s coming back to Frosty Bottoms to bake cookies and dip his wick in Kellan, the local candlemaker, who happens to be his childhood best friend.

Kellan knows Braden is coming back to town and taking over BJ’s Cookies and he’s unsure how to feel about it. They have a past; Kellan felt something but then Braden moved away.

Sparks soon fly when Braden reunites with Kellan, but they want different things. Braden is only interested in a relationship, while Kellan is only looking for hookups. With mishaps galore, including over-excited family, unrecognizable otters, and motorboating a muscle chest, everyone and everything seems to be pushing the two men together.

When the initial ice between them melts, it’s not long before more than cookie dough is being rolled out on Braden’s counters…and a certain bottom is getting frosted.

Cookies, Candles, and Cute Butts for Christmas publishes on November 1st!

The Killing Game

The Killing Game

Chris Bedell

17-year-old Channing Hollingsworth should be focused on retaking the SAT, working on college applications, and partying with friends. Instead, he’s thrust into a world of danger and violence when someone murders his mother.

And the killer doesn’t stop there. The killer stalks Channing and his friends and starts killing them one by one.

If Channing has any hope of escaping alive, he needs to figure out who’s targeting them—and why. If he doesn’t, the bodies will keep piling up, and his own will be the cherry on top.

But when playing amateur detective and probing into the killings, Channing stumbles into decades-old secrets involving his parents and his friends’ parents. No one is completely innocent, and nobody is safe.

Channing’s one rock in this unfolding nightmare is the “situationship” that’s developed between him and a supposedly-straight friend, Rhys Fitzpatrick. But as the killer narrows in, Channing knows it’s only a matter of time before both him and Rhys are the latest bodies stuffed in the morgue.

Nobody Loves an Incubus

Nobody Loves an Incubus

Fangville High, #2

Dylan James

Serge is an incubus—one of the sexiest creatures alive. He has reigned long as king of the school.

But after getting his heart broken by a boy he genuinely liked, Serge is facing a crisis of identity. To continue being who he is only seems to lead to loneliness and heartbreak. Maybe he needs to change, to be truer to himself. The bad boy attitude is just an act, after all.

As he navigates this crisis with the help of Bram, his best friend, he starts receiving a nightly visitor—a cute ghost boy with gorgeous eyes, who appears for only a few minutes in the deepest, darkest depths of the night. Serge is desperate to talk to him, to get to know him, but any attempts at communicating with the ghost are met with silence. The boy doesn’t seem to even know he’s there.

To build that bridge and communicate with the ghost, Serge must do the thing he least wants—enlist the help of Victor and Igor, boys he used to tease mercilessly. It’s a gamble and the stakes are high, especially given the fact that life has taught Serge one thing and one thing only…

Happy Lucky Everything #3

Kieran Frank

Senior year is just endless drama for Jayden.

From Jayden getting irritated with his mom’s scuzzy new boyfriend to the way Gracie flaunts her Christian superiority over Jayden any chance she gets, Jayden always finds life never goes his way. And when new complications come along like his estranged father re-entering the picture, and brings with him a shocking secret, things just get immeasurably worse.

But there is a bright spot in Jayden’s life. Or two, rather. Ollie and Geoff.

It started as a romance with Ollie but was upended when Geoff entered the picture. Now Jayden is faced with a problem—he likes both boys. A lot. When he’s with one boy, he’s always missing the other, and vice versa.

Could he talk both into a poly relationship? Or will he face losing one of them as a potential boyfriend?

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Froderick, Gay Son of Dracula

Cali Kitsu

My name is Froderick Dracula, but my friends call me Frode. I’m seventeen and starting my junior year of high school. My father, the famous Count Dracula, is not only the most celebrated vampire in the world, but he’s also the school ruler, not to mention a huge idiot. He’s completely out of touch with the world and hates anything that he doesn’t understand—which is basically everything.

Being the son of the ruler of the school and the highest vampire in all of vampire society is hard enough on its own, but there’s one thing I forgot to mention: I’m gay. It’s pretty hard keeping such a big secret, especially with my father trying to convince me to get my first bite out of the way. I’m not interested in biting any girls, though, so that’s not gonna happen.

Starting the first day of school will be just like every other year, boring, bland, full of classes that I don’t care about. That’s what I assumed until our opening assembly, when I saw him. Caleb Cheval. The new vampire in school. He’s also a noble, and he wants to—hold my hand?

Whaaat?! What the fangs am I supposed to do?

Normal

Normal

John Luke Maxwell

Anyone who grew up in the small town of Normal has heard of old Milholland Place. Crispin Galloway certainly has. He's lived next door to the haunted house for years.

It’s now 1997 and a new family is renting the creepy old house. Crispin isn't putting money on them sticking around for very long. Nobody who rents the Milholland Place ever does. He certainly has no intention of going over there himself. After all, he's got enough on his mind, what with having a sexual awakening and crushing on his best friend.

Unfortunately, his new neighbors are in the market for a babysitter to take care of their twin children, and Crispin needs money. The job seems easy enough, even though it means spending an evening at Spook Central, and the money is good. Crispin figures he can handle it.

But then, strange things start happening. Crispin hears noises he shouldn't. Odd messages are left for him. And there is a growing sense that someone—or something—is watching him. Is he merely the victim of a practical joke? Or are the stories about the old Milholland Place rooted in reality?

It's up to Crispin and his friends to discover the truth. Four meddling teenagers and their dog will have to band together to solve this mystery.

And it's not like that's ever happened before!

Peter is desperate for Wes's help; the infamous Captain Hook wants Neverland for himself, and if Peter can't defeat him in time, all will be lost. The weight of the world rests on Wes's shoulders.

Shoju and Matashi, Book Two

Kon Blacke

The story continues…

Matashi is one of the few who didn’t get chosen for the ancient and sacred temple known as Dansei Karuto—the Cult of Men. Not a bad thing, really, because he quickly discovers that temple life isn’t the paradise he was led to believe after being named as an outcast and sent into the forest to fend for himself.

That’s where he meets Akai, an Omega from the secret village who became bonded to Matashi because Matashi is Akai’s Alpha. And after they’ve consummated their newfound love—Akai becoming pregnant with Matashi’s son—that’s when their journey for survival truly begins.

A journey that starts with the rescue of Shoju.

Can Mat survive long enough against the temple’s evil to do as he’s promised? Or will the temple masters crush any hopes of Matashi ever being with the ones he loves, including his Omega Akai?

Let the story of Shoju and Matashi conclude!
