  • The Haunted Heart and Other Tales (2009)
    Haunted? Or blessed? Ghosts? Or guardian angels?

    Twelve new stories of gay men and the memories that haunt them. A circuit boy stays at a haunted hotel. An actor recounts a grisly murder in the English countryside. A gay parent unravels a mysterious souvenir. A journalist chases a story through the streets of Amsterdam. An artist grapples with his muse. A musician is inspired by the spirit of a sailor. Jameson Currier modernizes the traditional ghost story with gay lovers, loners, activists, and addicts, blending history and contemporary issues of the gay community with the unexpected of the supernatural.

  • Still Dancing: New and Selected Stories (2008)
    In Still Dancing acclaimed author Jameson Currier brings together twenty of his short stories that span three decades of the impact of the AIDS epidemic on the gay community. Along with stories from Currier s debut collection, Dancing on the Moon, praised by The Village Voice for their defiant tone, here are ten newly selected stories written by one of our era's preeminent writers of the short narrative.

  • Dancing on the Moon: Short Stories About AIDS (1993)
    Unflinching honesty and eloquent style and grace mark a collection of short stories that deal with the emotionally complex and highly controversial subject of AIDS.

  • Where the Rainbow Ends (1998)
    With Where the Rainbow Ends, acclaimed short story writer and journalist Jameson Currier has written more than another AIDS novel. "Packed with the stuff of life, this rewarding work might be termed a 'gay immigrant' novel, a saga about men and women who leave their hometown and families, move to the big cities, and fashion new lives in an alien land" (Library Journal).

    At the center of this epic tale is Robbie Taylor, who settles in New York City in 1978 as an optimistic, romantic young man with a circle of new friends. This powerful and passionate story of the trials and loves of a gay Everyman takes Robbie through a personal odyssey into enlightenment, spanning a period of almost fifteen years. As he navigates through the hedonism of his heady youth in Manhattan searching for faith, family, and understanding, Robbie is constantly being tested, like a modern-day Job. Currier masterfully weaves an ardent story about the families that we create for ourselves, a story that is at once lyrical, poignant, and sexy.

  • Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex (2004)
    Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex collects the best known of Jameson Currier's short fiction, along with several new stories that meticulously detail the search for love, romance, partnership, and meaning among the moderns. Currier's characteristically spare prose brings into sharp relief the sometimes maddening multiplicity of traits that constitute a person's romantic ideal and shows how the quest for the other can transform - or derail - the course of our lives.
