Your bed timing reading just got a little steamier with the re-release of one of John Patrick's more popular anthologies. Boys of The Night presents a batch of sultry tales of sordid and curious men who wander at night, looking for pleasure with any willing young lad they come across. Boys of the Night depicts a lust and obsession so deep within that only the cover of night presents a reasonable safe chance to act. In addition to hot fiction, this anthology offers “real like stories” from hustlers, strippers and club kids. Some of the contributors include Leo Cardini, Edmund Miller, Ken Anderson and bert McKenzie. Also included are “The Real Thing,” a novella by Frank Brooks, and “Love for Sale,” a memoir by William Cozad.
