We have eight great new stories and a new serial. Once a year we have a themed issue of Wilde Oats. The theme for this issue is Gays and Marriage: not just gay marriage but how gay men are affected by the institution of marriage.

The Prince's Bride by Alex Hogan Around the forgotten parts of the city, the dark corners, the alleyways, hidden from the searching torchlight of police and charity workers, are the lost boys, the abandoned ones. May I gather with them in their loneliness, and tell them a fairy tale to warm their nights, a story of a Prince who – like them – never wanted to marry. |
