Originally published in 1996, French Quarter Nights & Other Stories collected erotic fiction from that era's hottest gay stroke magazines. Periodicals like Blueboy and Mandate were not only stuffed with sexy photos of naked men, but were dripping with steamy tales, the best of which contained strong doses of gritty nightlife and nearly forgotten gay culture. "Kerouac at the Everard" and "Fire Island Threesome" deliver the goods while capturing the palpable energy of places vital to gay history. The titillating title story puts the reader front and center cruising the Big Easy, a region not often depicted in the coast-focused fiction of the time. We are extremely fortunate to have JR's take on magazine publishing in this heady period as an afterword, an enjoyable romp into the office life of pornography. Introducing the book is Matthew Rettenmund's (Encyclopedia Madonnica, Boy Culture) overview of such publications. While the internet may have extinguished this carnal epoch, The Library of Homosexual Congress is proud to revive this sensual compendium of literary sleaze at its finest.

Railroads have been an integral part of North Carolina since the 1850s, allowing goods and people to travel across the state or to other areas of the country. For many years, the main focus of small towns and large cities in the state was the railroad depots. Residents could purchase train tickets, businesses sought to ship or receive goods for market, and kids loved to visit and wave to the passing train crews. During the Christmas season, presents ordered from catalogs would arrive by Railway Express and were delivered to homes across the area. Mail was also delivered by rail to the depots, even if the train did not stop at a particular community. This book hopes to provide rail enthusiasts, local and economic historians, and history lovers in general a look back at the heyday of railroads and how much they affected daily life in North Carolina.
