GHOST STORIES BY JAMESON CURRIER

M.R. James stated a ghost story should have a malevolent spirit. I enjoy writing stories that include ghosts and all of my ghost stories involve gay characters. Besides the obvious route to horror, I see ghosts as a dialogue with the past.

We Are Made of Stars

 

We Are Made of Stars

by Jameson Currier

After a decade of mistakes, a struggling writer leaves Manhattan to start over in a small college town. Populated with egotists and narcissists, Jameson Currier’s resilient and unflinching We Are Made of Stars, a “memoir in the form of a novel pretending to be a memoir,” reveals a gay man’s journey through grief during the early years of the AIDS epidemic.

The Man That Got Away

The Man That Got Away 

by Jameson Currier

There is a mystery, a crime, a cover-up, a coming out story, sex, romance, emotional sentiment, and a lot of drag queens. My third illustrated tale, The Man That Got Away, is now available from Chelsea Station Editions. The story takes place a long time ago and I’ve been tweaking and tinkering and redrawing it for more than thirty years. There is no policeman, detective or investigator here. The crime and characters are unveiled through archived documents (letters, diary entries, emails, illustrations, and stories).

"A beautifully written, character-driven coming-of-age story that subverts clichés of queer literature." --Kirkus Reviews
