Summary: Huck and Billy
Review: All you need, to get into the mood. You can't help just wanting to join Huck and Billy on their erotic adventures through big cities and worry with them about some mad psychopath praying on young men. It doesn't stop there. All you've ever fantasised about -- trashmen who take you on a ride you'll never forget, a homeless under the railroad tracks or a trip to Mexico with the grandparents!! -- you'll put the book down and go out to look for adventure yourself. Just remember to read slowly, you don't want it to end too quickly.

Review: The current anti-sex hysteria has had a curious effect on gay erotica, and the evidence is here in Huck and Billy. Obviously, guys want to read about sexy boys, but publishers are nervous about age-of-consent laws, even as they apply to fictional characters! So Huck and Billy is full of 18-year-olds who look 15, 20-year-old high school students and various other literary dodges. Medley gets to write about boys without really admitting it. Rest assured, though, however many candles Medley's character's are burning on their birthday cakes, this is a book about adolescent sex. The long title story is a murder mystery about teenage hustlers. But it's in the dozen shorter pieces that roundout the book that Medley's most effective: a brief introduction to sketch an appealing character and set up a situation, then straight to the sexy climax.
