LGBT REVIEW: DAYDREAMERS BY JONATHAN HARPER

Daydreamers
Author: Jonathan Harper
Publisher: Lethe Press
Genre: Gay Fiction
ISBN: 978-1-59021-296-7
Reviewed By: Sandra Scholes

Of the nine short stories here, Harper has had five published in magazines and anthologies. This stands as Harper's début collection showcasing his talent, at least that is what it seems once a glance is passed along the authors who have given him advanced praise for Daydreamers. If, like me some readers would prefer to flip around the book before devoting time to reading any one story at first, taking in the titles and the art that comes with them on the left hand side is a pleasure, especially when the artist of the flowers is Pierre-Joseph Redoute, a famous Flemish painter and botanist from the Southern Netherlands.
