The Picnic
and other stories
Michael Harth

'Well, at least let me have Marcus again, then,' pleaded Simeon.

'You know perfectly well it's your turn to see Donald this week. I'm sure I don't know why everyone keeps asking for Marcus.'

'It's his attributes, that's what it is. When you get to my age, it becomes important.'


Male au-pairs, sex services for OAPs, abduction by aliens, a sex contest between two schoolboys, and a picnic that goes wrong are among the themes in this light-hearted, picaresque collection of stories.

Michael Harth's stories have appeared in various gay publications, as far as back as Quorum, one of the earliest gay magazines. He wrote the words and music for Going Gay, a revue produced on the the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and later in London, while his one-act science-fiction musical, Briefer Encounters, was put on with two other one-acters during Gay Pride week in the 1990s. He currently edits and contributes to Lightning Fingers, a symposium on the British composer-pianist.

He generally prefers observing people to mixing with them, but socialises readily with four cats.
