Have you ever had a message from The Other World?

Peopled with sociopaths, circus performers, a cross-dressing teenage boy, a sex worker and her pimp, and God-fearing families, these stories have a hallucinatory edge, making the everyday seem like another world.

“One of the best books of the decade.”
(The James White Review)

“Wynne’s prose is chiseled and precise. And in pages that tremble with beauty, Wynne gracefully reveals the darker side of human possibilities.” (Details)

“A book to handle with asbestos gloves but well worth the walk through fire.”
(Paul Monette, National Book Award winner)

How far would you go to feel alive?

Lambda Literary Award
nominee for Best Gay Fiction

A mesmerizing queer journey through Manhattan’s glittering heights and haunted depths where grief, lust, obsession, and redemption intertwine.

“Set in contemporary New York City, this is a beautiful dark queer re-envisioning of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale with finely-detailed descriptions, nuanced character development, and an air of mystery that makes the 400+ page text read like a novella.” (Lambda Literary Review)

“I read this so fast I got blisters turning pages. This is so astonishingly good, original, beautiful and amazing . . . it’s like a sumptuous meal with all flavors—salty, bitter, sweet, hot. I love the Gothic feeling of terrible impending doom and the counterbalancing elements of light. I think it’s a great work of art.”
(Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award winner)

CONSEQUENCES OF ATTRACTION

Five gay-themed stories about how desire re-shapes us. Ranging in locations from East Hampton to the Scottish Highlands to Provincetown and Tahiti, the stories vary in tone—tragic, comic, mystical—but share a psychological and emotional core and a commonality: getting close changes everything.
