Reviews

The best pieces in [Queeries] - such as … Raymond John Woolfrey’s
Pages from My Window: Red Geraniums” - are more traditional works of short fiction.
All three explore a different aspect of gay life, and are subtly crafted stories
that engage and challenge the reader’s imagination and intellect.
