In WOLF STRAP, “Returning home for the funeral of her cousin, Ayla thinks the worse she’ll have to deal with is her prejudiced parents until she finds herself hunting down a monster.” In MOON SING, “A young urban werewolf must choose between his life in the city or a young man who has secrets of his own.” In WOLF LOVER, “Nigel has a werewolf fetish. When some rough trade doesn’t quite go to plan, he finds himself wondering who is the hunted and who is the hunter?”

In SHY HUNTER, “Since being assaulted, David must struggle to control the beast within. But the killer stalking David’s lover may leave him no choice but to embrace his dangerous nature.” In THE STRAY, “John thought it just coincidence that his housemate and the big grey dog that came by for handouts never crossed paths. How long would it take him to catch on?” In NEW BEGINNINGS, “Michael wasn’t looking for change, but change found him in the form of Tori, a young werewolf with a difficult past. To make a new beginning, they’ll have to survive first.”

In WHERE THE SLED DOGS RUN, “Fourth grade teacher Drew Halliard thought he knew everything about the late Horwood Mather and his sled dogs, but what if the sled dogs want to know more about Drew?” In PAVLOV’S DOG, “Sometimes wolves go bad…it is this knowledge that kept Josh in self imposed isolation until Caleb came to the Pavlov’s Dog and Josh realized that sometimes they don’t.” In WOLVES OF THE WEST, “Sometimes your life is defined by the things you have to keep hidden…”

In FAMILY MATTERS, “What was supposed to be a quiet evening at home for alpha wolf Tala Nqumayo and her mate Mirabella turns into a desperate fight for the survival of the city they’ve sworn to protect.” In WRONG TURN, “When Kevin Thomas ends up somewhere he should never be he meets Shawn Jameson, someone he should never have met and enters a world of danger and mystery.” In LEADER OF THE PACK, “A new lover ignites a flood of emotions within Adolfo as he reflects on beginnings and discovers a startling and unexpected ending.”

In WAR OF THE WOLVES, “It took a werewolf to save Hunter’s life and a mortal to show him his destiny…but in the war to come he must fight for all he holds dear.” In FLIP CITY, “With nightmares invading his city, Ryan’s only refuge is the silence of the park–but when a strange wolf bites him, he discovers that not all nightmares are bad…” In NIGHT SWIMMING, “Far more than skin is revealed at the city’s river when two men from different walks of life are brought together.”

In IN THE SEEONEE HILLS, “When young Claire infiltrates a rival pack and draws the attention of Geneva, the pack’s charismatic heir, she soon discovers that she is not the only werewolf with a hidden agenda.” And in A WOLF’S MOON, “An interloper stalks the queer wolves of the city but it is the alpha’s lover, his mate, Sebastian who appears deepest under the spell of scent and seduction.”

REVIEWS

“The debut anthology from James EM Rasmussen's QueeredFiction is an entertaining and varied collection, boasting such talents as Charlie Cochrane and Ginn Hale. Lovers of the lycan will find much to slaver over here: from the werewolf wanabee to the lovers-through-time, to waifs and strays. From the carnal to the violent to the passionate, this anthology will wag your tail, I guarantee it.”
Erastes author of Standish

“Overall, I enjoyed reading this anthology. There were a good range of stories from authors who mostly did interesting things with what many people are calling a tired genre. It was refreshing to see f/f stories amongst the m/m, and even more refreshing was the consistently high quality of the writing from all the authors - even if some worked better than others. I may have had some quibbles with plotting, but the writing itself was excellent. I'm going to give this anthology a grade of 'Very Good' as I will definitely be reading many of these stories again when I'm in the mood for something with a bit of bite.”
Well Read

“Overall, and being totally honest, what surprised me the most about this anthology was the diversity of the GLBT stories about werewolves because, let's face it, how many plots about lycans can there be?? I was wrong because no two stories were the same, the authors' voices were all very different, and the work, as a whole and individually, of good quality. Queer Wolf is, I think, a credit to this first-time publisher.”

“Mystery, romance and action are just some of the genres covered in this werewolf filled anthology. Stories of prejudice, confusion and passion are just some of the feelings the authors have captured to make this set of stories unique. Totally paranormal, fully urban and all queer this is a collection of tales that will appeal to a lot of readers, gay or not.”
Amberkatze

“As a collection, Queer Wolf works nicely together. There's a nice mix of all things werewolf/lgbt in here: manlove, woman-on-woman, hereditary werewolves, werewolf bites, the occasional vampire or demon, cross-dressers, sweet romance, erotic sex scenes, and all manner of taboo-breaking, supernatural or otherwise. A number of stories had an entire pack of LGBT wolves, a safe haven for werewolves of a "different" sexuality, which is an interesting idea. The broad variety ensures pretty much everyone will find at least a couple stories they'll enjoy, and werewolf fanatics should consider the collection a must-read.” (3.5 pints of blood)
Genre Reviews

“Even with my predilection for weres, I was a little worried at the sheer scale of the anthology ~ how many different takes on werewolves can there be? The answer is, plenty ~ all the stories here are different, distinct, and high quality. In any anthology there will be stories that appeal more or less to each specific reader, but the balance was in my favor with this collection, and even the stories I didn't personally enjoy weren't poorly written. 
[...] 
Queer Wolf is a strong collection, and a very enjoyable read. I look forward to other anthologies in this Queer Legends series.” (4.5 out of 5 stars)
Rainbow Reviews

“Queer Wolf does a terrific job of gathering suspenseful, romantic, and smart stories. On one hand I was quite excited to have 17 stories in one book, but I was also worried I would be reading the same thing 17 times. I am very happy to say, that is not the case. Although every story didn't work for me, I must say all were unique and kept my interest. I highly recommend this collection.”
Smexy Books

“I probably wouldn't have read Queer Wolf if I hadn't been asked to review it [...].  That would have been a shame, because this very well-done short story collection about queer werewolves was one of the better paranormal anthologies I've read. ” (4.5 out of 5 fangs)
Fang-tastic Books

“...this is an excellent, well rounded collection with enough horror to satisfy the paranormal buff and enough steamy sex for the erotic reader. For those of us who like both, well, you can’t help but sink your teeth in.” (4.5 out of 5 Cherries)
