   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

   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

   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.

   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.

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.

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.

    “...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.
