What an era it was, racks of magazines with hot guys on the glossy cover and hotter ones inside.

The gay men found in this audiobook are sardonic: they drink, they indulge, they offer wry comments on friends, family, and life. In other words, they are a joy to hear.

The imagination of William Holden is one that values sweat and sperm and blood. And shadows to hide the rivulets of these fluids as they descend and drip from the naked flesh of men. These tales of homoerotic horror haunt a listener long after they are over. Stories of a lecherous carnival barker who deals in breath and souls, a town where Halloween has become more than playful tricks and sweet treats, the promise of desire at the razor's edge of life and death.
