Waking Up Bear, and Other Stories

Bear Bones Books proudly presents its thirteenth title, Waking Up Bear, and Other Stories, a sexy, fun, often touching collection of Bear-themed short fiction by Jay Neal, with twenty captivating stories from periodicals such as American Bear and several Lambda Literary Award-winning anthologies, plus three previously unpublished stories.

Readers can turn a page and discover a man who discovers his lover has turned into an actual bear overnight and the only way for life to return to domestic tranquility is through the intercession of a hirsute spiritualist; the Gothic erotic fantasy of a man visiting a lonely lighthouse with an infamous supernatural legacy; and even the confession of a man who yearns to be a filthy pig in bed (or the floor or a stall) but is frustrated by his timid demeanor. These stories will make you chuckle even as they arouse you. Bring this book to bed and you'll fall asleep still hard.
