About Burly Tales (Unabridged)

What has been missing from the daring tales of fairy tale heroes is quite simply some heft. In Burly Tales , Lambda Literary Award-winning editor Steve Berman has gathered a dozen stories of whimsy and romance that feature gay men with plenty of curves and fur. Run away with us to enchanted woods, where the cubs and bears are not going to eat you (not without informed, enthusiastic consent), where no one will judge if you take up residence in a house with seven bearded men and only one bed, and where if you fall in love with a large, hairy man with a forbidding castle and a well-stocked library, he'll still be that way after you kiss him. With stories of handsome princes trapped in towers or cursed to appear like actual bears, the plight of lonely giants in the clouds, and a trio looking to celebrate at the local gay bar only to face down a troll, the stories in this book will certainly enchant.
