Serendipity: The Gay Times Book Of New Short Stories

Serendipity: "the lucky tendency to find interesting or valuable things by chance". This latest collection from a three-times Lambda-nominated editor has all the hallmarks of a classic Burton anthology: quality * fiction, by top * writers, and with a truly fascinating slant. And befitting its title, this time Burton has chosen the finest new stories for his unthemed anthology, and looks set to continue in the fine tradition of his best-selling previous anthologies (Bend Sinister, 2001 Lambda Finalist, and Death Comes Easy: The * Times Book of * Stories).

Contributors include: Tim Ashley, David Patrick Beavers, Jeffrey Buchanan, Richard Cawley, Hugh Fleetwood, Francis King, Joseph Mills, Ian Young and Richard Zimmler.
