Friction 6: Best Gay Erotic Fiction

Rating:
Summary: sleeper
Review: Generally when a book (especially movies) is first released, all is well with the world. Then there is a second, or sometimes a third, etc and the reader starts to feel like he is getting a well-watered down version of the original. Friction 6 is a real rule breaker, however. The stories in this collection are even fresher and more original that the book's five predecessors. The stories are vibrant and alive and sometimes downright nasty, but they are also thought-provoking and, most importantly, entertaining. Bob Vickery's School Queer will have every (gay) man re-thinking his high school past and his story, Escorts, rethinking the stigma of hiring an escort. Simon Sheppard's The Glorious Fourth makes every other gay man's Independence Day celebrations pale by comparison and T. Hitman's Clean Shorts will have you visiting the Laundromat once gain, even if you have a fine washer and dryer at home. With 39 stories in all, you're sure to find something in this book to quicken your pulse.

Review: Unlike the previous editions in the series, Friction 6 is flat. Yeah, there's a few can't-miss writers in it like R.J. March, T. Hitman and Dale Chase, all come through as usual, but over all the book left me bored. I found myself having to move on to the next story in order to get the job done! That never happened in the previous volumes. Oh well, maybe 7 will be better.
