The Mechanics of Homosexual Literature

I find literature and film much more interesting if the storyline is somewhat homosexual in nature. In London I found this book of short stories (which I typically don't love for various reasons) and bought it based on the title alone. Bonus points to the cover photo of a young boy with a bloody nose. Unfortunately it didn't even remotely live up to its hype. The bar is set so high for short stories that I feel you really have to hit a home run or don't bother. For depressing homo stories (which I LOVE) I'll stick with Adam Haslett's You Are Not A Stranger Here.
