'Wormwood: A Collection of Short Stories' by Poppy Z. Brite (1994)

Description:

This book is a reprinting of the title Swamp Foetus. In an old car rocking down a North Carolina highway with the radio on so loud you can't hear the music ... Behind a dusty Georgia carnie show ... In a mausoleum in Baton Rouge, or in an alley in Calcutta ... Here wanderers come to rest, the lost and lonely press their bodies up against each other, the heat rises, flesh yields, bones are bared, blood spills.

QVamp says:

All of her stories are very, very dark and many contain homosexual or homoerotic content.

This book is an easier to find reprint of her original book Swamp Foetus.
