Eleventh in the series of eclectic gay male short story collections by habu, the fifteen stories of Grab Bag 11 offer a variety of gay male action in terms of theme, sexual interest and fetish, setting, and time period. Laid out in the order in which they were written rather than grouped by theme, these are stories composed during the spring and early summer of 2016. Although mostly contemporary pieces this time, these stories take us from the early history of the United States ("Martin's Hundred") through vampire hunting grounds in the early twentieth century ("A Question of Restraint" published separately for Halloween 2016) to a mafia fishing expedition ("Business Cruise") right up to the most recent summer Olympics ("Iran in USA"). In geographical coverage, although most are set in the United States, others take us to Spain ("Man Across the River"), Germany ("A Question of Restraint" and "The Horse Master"), and Brazil ("Iran in USA"). Some are romantic; more include habu's penchant for writing hot, steamy, rough sex. Most explore the nature of the complex relationships between men who desire other men. All are written to entertain, inform, and arouse the reader of gay male stories.
