About David Holly

David Holly lives, moves, and has his being in Portland, Oregon and environs. He is fascinated by the human penchant for odd mythologies, bizarre rituals, diverse religions, forlorn hopes, and broken dreams. He lives in a garish apartment with multihued walls hung with Haitian paintings and shelved with two thousand books. Sharing the apartment are sundry fur-bearing fellow mortals. He is exceptionally fond of strong coffee, red wine, English bitters, rich stout, inverted roller coasters, nude beaches, and hot-looking guys. He wears bright colors, tight slacks, exotic underwear, and slinky swim briefs. He is joyously pagan and loves making merry in heathen celebrations, marching in pride parades, and frolicking naked on Collins Beach.

The writer known as David Holly

Delicious Darkness is too hot to read with your clothes on. Darkly lurid, deliciously homoerotic, hilariously funny, and tantalizingly explicit, in these stories David Holly’s guys put out for a series of fantastic beings from mythology, folklore, and superstition. Bizarre plots and odd characters sprinkled with some of the most sizzling gay sex scenes ever written will entice you out of your shorts.

In a collection of stories so hot they’ll scorch your underwear, David Holly’s characters go bottoms up for demons, ghosts, immortals, space aliens, elves, and magical devices. Here are descriptions of some of the stories in Delicious Darkness.

Bram and his depraved cousin Sl demand sexual slavery from two demons, but when an accident puts the guys at the mercy of their evangelical parents, their loyal demons rescue them.

Ross and his friends slip naked through a desert rock cropping and emerge in an exotic realm populated by fairy men, who insist that the guys must receive a permanent anally orgasmic enhancement.

Tim’s favorite school uniform is his spankers, magical briefs that give wearers wild nights of sexual stimulation.

An immortal pickpocket turns any man who penetrates him into compulsive butt slut, as a revengeful street gang and the guards and inmates at the city jail soon learn.

Some college boys offend a witch, so “she” and her coven of Chicks with Dicks make the guys their play toys.

When Derek spends the summer at his wealthy grandmother’s house, he meets his Uncle Horny, a demon of fellatio.

Following a traffic accident, Garrett wakes up in Hell, where he has been selected to become a sex slave. The Lords of Hell expect him to loathe his initiation, but Garrett enjoys every second of his eternal damnation.

The stories in Delicious Darkness will have you saying, “I wish that would happen to me!”

E-books from David Holly's Gay Romances

Wolves of the Purple Sky

Written in the style of an old fashioned space opera and dripping with graphic gay sex scenes, Wolves of the Purple Sky plays havoc with all boundaries at once. Driving home from a drunken debauchery of wild sex during Gay Pride weekend, Jeff and Reggie experience a close encounter with a UFO and wake up on another world. Auctioned as sex slaves to various species of space aliens, the pair travel from world to world, moving ever farther from Earth and Earthly conventions.

Wolves of the Purple Sky is a wild ride and a wilder read, featuring such technological innovations as jellipouches, morphopaths, force ships, and tillys. As one reader said wistfully after she read the third chapter, “I want a tilly too.”

Readers will find humor and pathos. Uproarious situations drift into moving ones, and as Jeff and Reggie are transported from implausible predicament to painful dilemma, the reader is transported from erotic arousal, to laughter, to tears, and back to throbbing eroticism.

Written by David Holly, author of the collection Delicious Darkness and numerous published stories in the genres of gay romance and gay erotica, Wolves of the Purple Sky is male-to-male sex at its hottest, although the males are literally out of this world.

Off-Beat

Off-Beat contains eight stories that range from the graphically sexual to the dreamily romantic. These stories appeared originally in anthologies from Alyson Books. They evoke exotic locales or exotic situations.

“Behind the Reservation Desk” is an autobiographical story set in Coral Gables, Florida, back in 1975

“Paradise, Chérie” is set in Haiti during the same time period. Another Haitian story “Bicycle Baka” is timeless.

In reading the Haitian vampire story “Bicycle Baka” for this collection, the reviewer was stunned by its insight.

“Love Has No Ears” is another autobiographical story set in the Florida Keys during the late 1960’s.

The trio including “The Professor’s Submission,” “The Days with Mark Wilder,” and “The Second Impulse” are more graphically sexual than romantic, but one of the three really happened.

The concluding story, “Out-Island Cruising” is a romance, wistful and nostalgic, but true to life.

The Dream in the Heart of the Forest

Seven homoerotic stories of romantic and passionate encounters and deliciously sexual rites of passage.

In “Braad Skips Rope at the Bear Festival,” the village males who have reached the age of eighteen compete in a jump rope contest upon reaching their eighteenth year. The winner is initiated into the Ursine Priesthood, a high honor, but the youths are not aware that the initiation is quite public and very homosexual. Braad learns the truth before the festival, which inspires him to give the contest his utmost effort.

In “Kenny’s Key,” Dan’s lover throws him out, so Dan goes on a vacation in the Florida Keys. Sailing in one of the hotel’s sailboats, Dan discovers that his sailing skills are nonexistent and ends up stranded on a tropical island. But the island is not deserted. This is Kenny’s Key, and Kenny offers Dan a whole new life.

In “The Solipsism of Narcissus,” Derek, a lonely man, bicycles to a nude beach where he meets Jules, his double. This sun-drenched and dream-like encounter leads to passionate lovemaking in Jules’ converted barn home.

In “Blazing Bicycle Seats,” Mark sets off on an early morning bicycle ride, and due to his reckless behavior, ends up avoiding another rider by taking a header in a blackberry patch. However, the handsome stranger, Brad, is happy to pull the thorns out of Mark’s ass. The situation develops into a series of sexual escapades.

“Each Sacrifice Brings Its Own Reward” is inspired by a short story by E. M. Forster. Joey Dan saves his religious fanatic sister from a motorcycle gang by offering his own sexual favors in exchange. He is surprised by the alacrity with which the bikers accept his offer.

In “Rode Hard and Put Up Wet,” a former “emo boy,” inspired by Brokeback Mountain, signs on as a buckaroo on an eastern Oregon ranch. His first task is to ride the purple sage and find Johnnie Valdez, who opens him to the mysterious ways of the buckaroos. There are no lonesome cowboys here because the nights in the bunkhouse are filled with fun.

“The Dream in the Heart of the Forest” is set in the remote mountain cave where Billy has been hiding from “the people” for a decade. However, when Russell gets lost on the mountain, Billy, along with his animal companions, must rescue him, and Russell rewards Billy with the best time he’s ever had.

The Fire Dance of Yog-Sothoth

These six gay erotic stories are as hot as Hades, as funny as Hell, or both.

The Fire Dance of Yog-Sothoth
Marooned on an alien planet, Harp Ahearn and his companions find their bodies corrupted by the alien environment and their minds corrupted by the alien drumming. When they finally reach the alien ceremonial place, they can only surrender to the enticing inevitable. Explicit gay erotica written in a creepy H.P. Lovecraft style.

The Magic Swing
Reverend Beckfort, a homophobic televangelist, has decided to run for the U.S. Senate, so the wizard Dill Hartweed and his two spell-casting companions Jeremy, and Lama decide to take over the campaign. As his popular support grows until his victory is assured, what are our heroes to do? After procuring Buddy Beckfort's underwear, the trio use it to cast a spell upon the candidate, the election, and the entire country. Wild homoerotic witcheries ensue.

By the Shores of Bunny Lake
On the night of Uncle William's death, Niece Betsy predicts that Uncle will be getting gang raped in Hell while she's enjoying his money. However, after rising from his earthly body, William goes to none of the predictable afterlifes, but strange homosexual paradise called Bunny Lake.

Space Cadet Devilstoe
As a young space cadet, Devilstoe discovers that life as a Space Marines is nothing that will instill pride in the most willing soul. Faulty equipment, incompetent officers, and the necessity of advertising products to pay for the military are not the least of the dangers. The gigantic horny space aliens are always eager to ravage the human form. Then there the humans' own double crosses and triple crosses. A wild spoof with loads of sex.

Punchkin's Realm
After persecuting homosexuals his entire life while denying his true impulses, Daniel Brewster Brooks finds himself in Punchkin's Realm, where all his secret desires will become explicitly obvious to all.

The Devil's Demand
It is a scientific theory of the fourteenth century that anyone selling fern seed to the devil will receive a bag of gold in return. Balder, Wolfgang, and Johan muster up their courage to test the theory. Of course, they ignore the last part of the theory which states that the seller will attend the procession of the dead and the perverse imps will pervert him. Of course, what may feel like perverting to some, may feel like a damned good time to others.

The Fruits of Fantasy

The Fruits of Fantasy includes seven gay erotic fantasy stories, ranging from the marginally realistic to the patently absurd. Of course, as in real life, absurdity skirts upon actual events. For instance, the military did consider a gay sex weapon, so are the events in "Armed Forces College" as farfetched as some might think? Descriptions of the seven stories follow:

Willie the Wily Woodchuck
While living in his Grandpop Baldwin's house, Ollie and his college chum Cosmo discover a journal left by his Revolutionary-War ancestor, a British captain who journeyed into the deep dark forest to enlist the help of the native Americans to fight the American rebels, and in so doing had a torrid affair with the tribal medicine man.

Armed Forces College
A judge gives video thieves Lew and Bill a choice between Armed Forces College or a correctional institution. The pair are miserable until a top-secret experiment goes awry. The military never expected that the gay sex weapon would backfire against its own troops, or that the changes would be permanent.

The Third Task
In ancient Greece, Iolaus travels with his controlling mother to their summer house in Lerna, only to find out that a hydra is plaguing the town's drinking water. Iolaus knows that a hero is the solution to the town's problem and the one he is having with his mother, so against his mother's wishes, he sends for his uncle Heracles to sort things out. Heracles is only too happy to help with both problems, and Iolaus discovers the pleasures that a manly hero can bring to a young man.

Crass-Pa and His Hearties
Decades in the future, Crass-Pa is the leader of a gang of skate boarding thugs. In this Anthony Burgess inspired dystopia, even language has lost its meaning, and the most dominant thug must learn that there exists an even more dominating thug.

The Day I Got Gang Banged
Enjoying the beaches of Key Biscayne during the seventies, Ong meets three good companions who are eager to give him exactly what he wants. And so they give him more, and more, and more.

Baking the Yule Boar
Returning home from college for Christmas with the family, Kelly has to help drag in an antique mirror his mother found in a thrift store. Late in the watches of the night, mysterious imps trick Kelly through the looking glass into a wonderful land filled with homoerotic games and a desperate errand to slay the boar.

The Fruits of Fantasy
Kevin makes the mistake of telling one of his masturbation fantasies to his unreliable friend Wolfie. However, that which makes good fantasy may be alarming in reality, so when his fantasy comes true, Kevin handles the situation badly. All is well in the end, though, for Kevin reaps rewards far greater than his sufferings.

Kissing Behind the Bathhouse

Kissing Behind the Bathhouse is a gay romantic comedy—and so much more. Readers have said that it is a terrific novel; entertaining, funny, and moving.

Wealthy, gay college student, Dave Ankeny just wants to find a topic for his senior thesis so he can graduate in the spring. However, his family and friends have other plans; they think he needs a love life. Therefore, on Dave’s twenty-second birthday, Dave’s father, an overly supportive parent, gives him a membership to a gay bathhouse.

Jangling with lust one night, Dave bikes to the bathhouse and meets Chris, the yummiest guy Dave has ever seen. Unfortunately, Chris comes with baggage—a seamy work environment, a powerful homophobic family, and a dark nemesis who soon becomes Dave’s mortal enemy.

Loaded with literary situations and literary allusions, bicycle adventures, gay sex, mythological types and anti-types, a loving family, and a cat who is love, Kissing Behind the Bathhouse is a layered and meaningful romp.

Stealing the Mayor's Underpants

When a lonely political staffer combines a perilous gay romance with political skullduggery, he could end up Stealing the Mayor’s Underpants.

Mike Dodger wants to elect the first gay mayor of Portland. Mike knows that elections are won through dirty tricks, lies, mudslinging, and out-and-out election fraud. Unfortunately, the candidate Kim Flanders believes in truth, justice, and clean campaigning, so Mike must find ways to mask his nefarious activities.

When the incumbent mayor, Justin T. Albee, makes a televised speech mocking his challenger’s homosexuality, Mike responds with every trick in his bag. Then he meets the mayor’s chief-of-staff, a male of eerie beauty, and Mike falls madly in lust. Sadly, Lance Hancock, the object of Mike’s yearnings, has not recognized his own gayness, so Mike is faced with the problems of getting around Kim Flanders’ scruples, tarnishing Albee politically, and seducing Lance.

Tales of the New Gender

At approximately thirty thousand words in total, the four stories that make up Tales of the New Gender are a significant departure from David Holly’s usual themes. To a greater or lesser degree, these stories involve the themes of bondage, exhibitionism, femdom, domination, and submission.

In three of the stories, males must live in institutions or societies tending toward the politics of gynarchy, matriarchy, or gynecocracy. Males are degraded or humiliated through gender role reversal, changing from top to bottom, and accepting the supremacy of women.

In each of the stories males are subjected to bizarre genital modifications including penis reduction, castration, mounding, pussification, or partial transgendering.
