The hottest black gay erotic fiction

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 ass and cock, and the devoutly religious in their forays through the subterranean grottoes of the down-low world...

From 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.

"These stories expand the condition of black gay sexuality: sometimes rollicking, sometimes masochistic, sometimes sensual, but always bravely told with such sincerity of heart." —Books To Watch Out For

"Intelligent, arousing.... The variety of voices in every tale rings with the tone of true authenticity." —Erotica Readers & Writers Association
