In 52 short stories, Jan Ranft takes you on an emotional journey through the queer worlds of Germany and the U.S.

These tales explore gay men's experiences with love, loss, friendship, and the search for happiness-sometimes tender, sometimes raw, and always deeply human. From moments of humor to heartbreak, erotic passion to quiet romance, each story offers a unique glimpse into the joys and struggles of connection. With unvarnished honesty and relatable depth, his collection captures the many facets of gay men's lives and loves.

Look forward to a laid-back bumper car boy, gay werewolves, a desperate mother, a fairy godmother, the crazy king of plush toys, and a seemingly lost future.

Jan Ranft lives and works in Saarbrücken, Germany. He has published over a hundred short stories so far.
