Beautiful words, so very needed at this point in time. I particularly enjoyed Seth Insua’s steamy story of the lighthouse keepers. Wonderfully crafted.
Thank you for putting this into the world.

This collection was delightful, I read it all in one go, so consumed was I by the sheer romp and rebellious nature of it.

A strong, and brilliant, revelation of queer joy!

Thank you to the publishers, author and Net Galley for this Advance Reader Copy of Queerphoria.

I didn't know what to expect going into this book, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I read through it super fast and couldn't put it down.

I recommend this book to anyone who needs a good book to get into.

Quite possibly the best anthology of queer writing I've ever read. The joy, the grief, the love, the desire, the loss, and the hope all intertwine to give the reader a true sense of 'Queerphoria'. The short stories, prose pieces, poems, and essays embody what it means to be queer, then and now; all of which centre humanity first and foremost. Through reading this kaleidoscopic anthology of fantastic writers, you will cry, you will laugh, you will feel the eroticism of some stories, and the ache of others, and you will be seen in a way that is euphoric. VERVE set out to create a collection that will resonate and they've succeeded - this is a collection that will continue to echo in your mind and body long after you've finished reading it.

An incredibly important little book of essays, short stories and poems all focused around the theme of queer euphoria. There's a fantastic collection of writers here, and each piece is really worth savouring. I especially enjoyed the works by Santanu Bhattacharya and Gerardo Samano Cordova.
This wonderful anthology will be a great one to keep on the book shelf and dip back into again and again.
The publication of this book supports the LGBTIA+ Switchboard, which will receive a £1 donation for each copy sold.

This anthology was so well written: every writer has their own unique style, and navigating between each one was a very pleasant experience.
I couldn’t put this book down ! The beautifully written short stories, poems and essays will stay with me for a long time, that’s for sure. I went through so many emotions reading this book, from grief to joy!
As with all anthologies, I had favourites, and other parts which touched me a bit less. However, I had no story which left me emotionless. My favourite was “This might be the place” by Laura Key…
I honestly recommend this book to anyone who is curious and looking for a book that will stay with them .
