Grab Bag 18 is the eighteenth edition of habu’s eclectic collection of active gay male life joys and tribulations short stories. his collection was written during the spring of 2019, and the stories are presented in the order in which they were written. As is often the case with habu anthologies, a third of them are located outside of the states in locales as varied as Malaya, Assyria, Martinique, Africa, and Beirut, Lebanon. Four of them have historical settings from ancient times to eighteenth-century slavery days to nineteenth-century Southeast Asia and the Levant of the 1980s. Most of the stories, though, are contemporary and most of them are set in the United States, with eight of them set in the American South. The collection concludes with four written during a habu vacation to South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island and Florida’s St. Augustine beaches. As always, we hope habu has provided entertainment for everyone who likes their heroes to be gay and active and placed in challenging and interesting positions.
