Best Black Gay Erotica celebrates the heat and power of sex between black men: the ardent B-boys and gorgeous thugs, the worshippers of heavenly bodies and the devoutly religious in their forays through

the subterranean grottoes of the down-low world.

From the unrelenting tension of Jay Russell’s “Rude Boys,” in which two tops at a sex club negotiate which of them will give it up, to the slowly building heat of Reginald Harris’s “The Gift,” to the raw lust of Belasco’s graphic portrayals of man-on-man sex, these are stories that push back at the reader, that arouse and confront.

The narrator of Canaan Parker’s “One for the Road” recalls the particular skill that made his finest lover, Marco the Magnificent, famous on the streets. And Samuel R. Delany’s “The Sleepwalkers” is a paean to the heyday of gay sex in New York, when a night among the burly, beer-swigging men of the Mine Shaft ended only at dawn.

With contributions by James Earl Hardy, Thomas Glave and Shane, Best Black Gay Erotica offers some of the hottest and best-written erotica in print today.
