Every week we post six lines from a work of ours, a work-in-progress or published or a recommendation of someone else’s work with at least one LGBT character. Posted at Rainbow Snippets here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963484217054974

My snippets this week are from James K. Moran’s fine collection of horror stories “Fear Itself.” https://www.lethepressbooks.com/store/p635/Fear_Itself.htmlIn “James Harker Tries to Have the Talk,” a Bisexual college student in sorcery is having a bad day…

James blinked. Now a tall, black man grinned lasciviously at him.

“You didn’t think you could just summon me by saying my name three times, did you?” said the new man in a voice with deep, sweet-as-caramel tones. He threw back his head and laughed heartily.

As he looked at James again, he was a blonde woman with a curl of hair blocking her right eye…

The demon shook her head, ran her fingers through her hair, and revealed herself as a redhead flaunting her bosom.

What the devil is James going to do? Oh, well, at least the last name Harker is a good one to have when you’re facing the unholy.

I hope YOU don’t have to face anything like that this week! Me? I’ll see you next week, when we will walk the mean streets of a very familiar-seeming city! —–jeff
