We Lovers

The short, many-chambered tales in We Lovers read familiar-an earthbound angel on the run from demons, a superhero with heat ray vision and skin that can't be cut, an action hero fighting his way out of a burning warehouse. But gay poet and storyteller, Christian St. Croix, offers a clever twist in his chapbook collection of genre prose stories: they're told exclusively from the mouths of the heroes' lovers.

Fearless, profoundly simple and blisteringly beautiful, We Lovers blends like a well-planned mixtape, offering cinematic love stories from the mouths of ghosts and mannequins, in the midst of monsters and zombies, hiding from a slasher killer in the woods, and escaping a falling sky.
