Man Overboard

Ian Hunter sounded younger than his years on 2007's Shrunken Heads, but on its 2009 sequel, Man Overboard, he shows signs of age in his weathered rasp as well as the album's slower tempos and greater emphasis on ragged acoustic arrangement. Older doesn't necessarily mean any less vigorous, though, at least not in Hunter's case. He writes and sings like a man who thinks he might have seen it all but isn't quite sure, so he keeps going, turning out tunes that feel familiar in form but fresh in substance.

A new collection of stories that continues the gay-ebooks tradition of fresh, powerful writing and exciting reading. Our first issue for 2008 includes new work from Ian MacNeill, Jarred Connors, Barry Lowe, James May, Trevor Ball and Nicholas Kokinidis.
