Title: The Ghost of Carmen Miranda and Other Spooky Gay and Lesbian Tales Author: Edited by Julie K. Trevelyan and Scott Brassart Published by: Alyson Books, 1998 ISBN: 1-55583-488-4 [trade paperback, 307 pages]
Things that go bump in the night. Ethereal remnants that skulk through the dark. These cleverly written ghost stories range from hilarious to soulful to downright terrifying, and they don't disappoint. A.J. Potter's Taking Care of Faith weaves faith healing, a haunted apartment, and a jar of peanut butter into a tale of love and loyalty from beyond the grave. The completely mesmerizing horror of E.J. Galusha's Eyes will disturb your dreams long after you turn the last page. And then there is The Ghost of Carmen Miranda, the title story by Don Sakers, a tale about an aging drag queen, a space station, a little girl, and a Pollyanna of a ghost. Spectral chills, spooky laughter, and sweet nostalgia await you within the pages of this anthology.
