This was really cool. A cautionary tale in a good way, unlike Inside Out.

Not the Only One

Lesbian and Gay Fiction for Teens

Edited by Jane Summer.

Some excellent stories. Some not so good. Summer is correct in her introduction. It should just be "Fiction for Teens." No labels, thanks.

The Blue Girl

by Charles DeLint.

Now this is a fantasy I can get behind.

Companions of the Night

by Vivian Vande Velde.

Like a Buffy and Angel story. But sucky.

Tenderness

Disturbed. But not as disturbed as I should be. Damn creation of sympathy for the perpetrator.
