Law of Desire : Tales of Gay Male Lust and Obsession

Rating:
Summary: The Cover Art is Magnificent
Review: Dark, depressing, and dangerous...that is how I would describe the stories in this collection. Some of the stories are Gothic in nature,and leave the reader with questions about the characters that need to be answered; others seem artifical and forced. I found one of the stories endless, and literally skipped pages and found nothing new in plot-line devleopment or character development. I was rather disappointed in the collection, since the title LAW OF DESIRE: TALES OF GAY MALE LUST AND OBSESSION did not honestly portray the thrust of the stories selected. Perhaps if the title had indicated that the "tales" were dark and disturbing, I would have approached the collection differently. Overall, I can only rate the book a "2". It is an adequate read, but generally unfulfilling.
