by James Penha (Author)

To paraphrase Toni Morrison: If there's a folk tale you want to read but it hasn't been written yet, you must write it. In Queer as Folk Tales, James Penha has done exactly that-he has gathered ancient myths and legends and reimagined them with queer lovers at their heart, the stories he, like so many LGBTQ2+ readers, has longed for.

In these tales...

A gay boy steps into a photograph to find happiness.

A dying man can rest only after seeking forgiveness from the trans celebrity he once denied.

A woman surrenders to passion in the arms of a ghostly, lesbian wraith.

Two gay fishermen fall afoul of a dragon.

A Chinese student searches for the legendary god of queers.

And a Norse god embraces his pansexuality when he falls for a giant.

In these tales we ask...

Can queer desire bloom with a ghost?

Which sleeping hunk will the prince decide needs his kiss?

Can a poet save the beautiful young ginger trapped in a fox's body?

Who are the queer heroes still remembered after thousands of years?
