About the Book

Preaching to the Perverted features thirteen dark tales, each drawn from gay lived experience and given a twist of horror. In these pages, you'll find the erotic and the grotesque. A Kafkaesque alien comes out. Bigoted parents fall foul of fairies. A power-bottom Frankenstein wrestles with his conscience. A transgender thief throws a Pride parade in Lovecraftian Arkham. A bitter old queen makes a Faustian pact. And a dejected angel falls in love at the End of the World. Each story comes from the heart, throbbing with visceral gay energy. Save your prayers. And come inside.

Review :
"I really loved this collection. It has great range - Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling's fairy tale series, cosmic horror, noir, The Prestige, coming of age stories, the gothic of Mary Shelley - but there's nothing derivative about it. It's heartfelt and gutsy. Filled with beautiful horrors and heartbreaks. James Bennett is a superb writer." - Priya Sharma, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Pomegranates "Full of fire and flare, this superb collection of stories is complete with angels and devils and all the flawed humanity between. Bennett's stories are told straight from the heart-an absolute must-read." - Alison Littlewood, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author "Dark fun, with mourning, tragedy, and loss, but permeated with wicked humour and enough glimmers of queer hope and love to sustain me. Recommended"'- Joe Koch, author of Invaginies "Preaching to the Perverted is masterful storytelling, a marvel of authorial style, pacing, and plot. At times shocking and other times shockingly funny, Bennett's great gift is his expert use of voice-he is at once wry and antiquated, modern and mythic. These stories comment uniquely and individually on the LGBT experience, but taken together they're nearly overwhelming. A brilliant addition to any library of the weird." - Polly Schattel, author of The Occultists "Some cracking horror stories (and humour too)... at least one story may well have you punching the air in delight. Bennett is doing a fine job of making all of us a bit less bitter and afraid, and I can think of no greater compliment to give than that. What a marvellous collection." - John Llewellyn Probert, author of House of Mortal Cinema "Bennett's stories flit effortlessly, flirting with the delicate, the extreme, and wanton whimsy. The bold and confident prose crafts a seamless collection that is indefatigable in its purpose and merciless in its approach. Beautiful. Brutal. Brilliant." - Dave Jeffery, award-winning author of the Necropolis Rising series
