These groundbreaking mysteries are set in sultry New Orleans, where money, history, and politics mix with the most decadent of murders. "Those who appreciate both a well-crafted mystery and a many-faceted protagonist will be pleased to meet a gay series character who is in the same league as Joseph Hansen's Dave Brandstetter".--The Bloomsbury Review.

The Glory Hole: Tales from the funny(dark)side. Men can do some of the stupidest things while under the influence of alcohol. Maybe sleep around with someone you should not have! Or get into a fight maybe! But what a man should never do is put his pecker in a hole that they have no idea what is on the other side of. I guess some men will never learn that some things are better left alone! When evil twin sisters Agnes and Gloria Spitzonya decide to have some fun, never did they realise they would go down in history for the mass murder of so many men. Growing up in a convent, then inheriting a new home, they soon turn to the dark side for their cockaholic kinky cravings. With the usual strange Joe KING sense of humour/humor. You are led on a trail of his unorthodox style of comedy/horror, that will leave you cringing, and hoping you never meet the Spitzonya's!

Gertrude Stein called it “the only really modern novel form that has come into existence,” yet the mystery genre was a century old before it featured its first gay main character in a novel. Since then, gay and lesbian detective fiction has been one of the fastest growing segments of the genre. It incorporates gay and lesbian cultural elements and offers crossover appeal. Its authors call upon a century of development in the mystery genre, while providing new, more accurate images of lesbians and gay men than generally found in mainstream literature and popular media. This groundbreaking study of gay and lesbian detective fiction examines mystery series and historically significant stand-alone novels published since the early 1960s. Part I is an overview that describes how these novels make gay and lesbian life visible and forge new, powerful images. It also examines how they fit into the larger history of mystery fiction. The series analyses in Part II are grouped according to the type of main character (police officer, private investigator, amateur sleuth, etc.). Each section discusses main and secondary characters of that type, characteristic themes for the group, and more. The analyses of individual series cover main characters, themes, plot points and other elements. Comments from authors interviewed for this book play a central role in those analyses. Part III lists series-spanning themes (e.g., homophobia, the closet, gay marriage) and the novels and series that address each of those themes.

Booklist Top of the List Reference Source The heir and successor to Eric Partridge's brilliant magnum opus, The Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, this two-volume New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English is the definitive record of post WWII slang. Containing over 60,000 entries, this new edition of the authoritative work on slang details the slang and unconventional English of the English-speaking world since 1945, and through the first decade of the new millennium, with the same thorough, intense, and lively scholarship that characterized Partridge's own work. Unique, exciting and, at times, hilariously shocking, key features include: unprecedented coverage of World English, with equal prominence given to American and British English slang, and entries included from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, South Africa, Ireland, and the Caribbean emphasis on post-World War II slang and unconventional English published sources given for each entry, often including an early or significant example of the term’s use in print. hundreds of thousands of citations from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, and songs illustrating usage of the headwords dating information for each headword in the tradition of Partridge, commentary on the term’s origins and meaning New to this edition: A new preface noting slang trends of the last five years Over 1,000 new entries from the US, UK and Australia New terms from the language of social networking Many entries now revised to include new dating, new citations from written sources and new glosses The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English is a spectacular resource infused with humour and learning – it’s rude, it’s delightful, and it’s a prize for anyone with a love of language.

In The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film (2005), scholar Drewey Wayne Gunn examined the history of gay detectives beginning with the first recognized gay novel, The Heart in Exile, which appeared in 1953. In the years since the original edition's publication, hundreds of novels and short stories in this sub-genre have been produced, and Gunn has unearthed many additional representations previously unrecorded. In this new edition, Gunn provides an overview of milestones in the development of gay detectives over the last several decades. Also included in this volume is an annotated list of novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels, comic strips, films, and television series with gay detectives, gay sleuths of secondary importance, and non-sleuthing gay policemen. The most complete listing available--including the only listing of early gay pulp novels, present-day male-to-male romances, and erotic films--this new edition brings the work up to date with publications missed in the first edition, particularly cross-genre mysteries, early pulps, and some hard-to-find volumes. The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film: A History and Annotated Bibliography lists all printed works in English (including translations) presently known to include gay detectives (such as amateur sleuths, police detectives, private investigators, and investigative reporters), from the 1929 play Rope until the present day. It includes all films in English, subtitled or dubbed, from the screen version of Rope in 1948 and the launch of the independent film Spy on the Fly in 1966 through the end of 2011. Complete with two appendices--a bibliography of sources and a list of Lambda Literary Awards--and indexes of titles, detectives, and actors, this extensively revised and updated reference will prove invaluable to mystery collectors, researchers, aficionados of the subgenre, and those devoted to GLBTQ studies.

In this riotous mystery, a Pacific Northwest PI is hired by an ex-pro wrestler whose suspicions are hard to prove—and hard to follow: “A real winner.” —Library Journal Jeff Reynolds—an author who became a PI to find ideas for books—is about to get some new material. He’s having breakfast with a potential client who tells a long story involving barroom brawls, professional wrestlers, and prostitutes; reveals that this is the first time he’s been out of the house in fifteen years; and announces that his father was murdered. What he wants is for Reynolds to find out whether they’re still after him. Though when Reynolds asks who “they” are, he refuses to say since Reynolds could be one of them. From the New York Times–bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Burl Barer, and featuring cameos by a few real-life mystery authors, this is a wildly entertaining PI tale in which it’s hard to tell what’s deception, what’s delusion, and what’s genuinely deadly—and all roads lead to McFeely’s Tavern in Walla Walla, Washington . . . “Clever, quirky, and often outrageous.” —Lee Goldberg, New York Times–bestselling author of Mr. Monk Gets Even “Undeniable talent, pizazz and imagination.” —Jack Olsen, New York Times–bestselling author of Night Watch
