Cold and Other Stories...
...or C.A.O.S. (get it?) is the fiction debut of indie poet JAMES SCHWARTZ (The Scarlet
Band and Other Poems).
This e-book collects Schwartz´s early fiction written as a gay youth (some might argue that at only 27 Schwartz
still IS a gay youth) as well as new fiction.
James Schwartz mixes scathing wit (The Kabbalah Factor) with heartbreak (Cold),homoerotica
(A Private Fire: A QAF Sketch) with high camp (FORMIDABLE)--
with the result of a delightfully varied cocktail of queer fiction that showcases Schwartz´s poetic ear,
lively imagination and queer sensibilities. These stories will become small gay classics!
" From killer cats (A Price Above Rubies) to drag queens (The
Return of Mary Garden, FORMIDABLE) Schwartz collects an array of quirky fiction "
