Rough and surly, smooth and sultry, or quick and raw in public places — however you like it, you’ll find it in Best Gay Erotica 2007, twenty of the hottest and best-written sex stories to appear in print this year, along with fourteen pages of comics that aren’t for kids. In Jay Neal’s “The Lighthouse Keep,” a stranded traveler stumbles into a ghost story, a murder mystery, and a skin-tingling S/M thriller rolled into one, complete with B-movie storm effects and a gnarled ancient mariner. Cat Tailor’s “There’s More to Kink than Leather” follows a leather daddy as he makes a crucial misstep into a drag bar, where the queens are restless for new subjects. And in Greg Herren’s “Disaster Relief,” a renter whose apartment was flooded by Hurricane Katrina gets some unexpected comfort from a FEMA inspector.
