Description: A Tight Squeeze showcases the hot sex magick of queer t4t connection. Balancing the weird, fun, and exciting with the vulnerable and bewildering, Laura Q explores the complex and sometimes painful realities of transfem identity, desire, and erotic experiences.

Verdict: In this most gloriously-curated, and wholly heartfelt new collection of prose, whether it be the bookended stories of self-love or exploration, here in A Tight Squeeze - Smutty Trans and Queer Stories, we can all share in the tales told of shared intimacies and the roads taken to obtain self-love, care and respect.

For here on the freely-written pages of this quite incredible new book, we can lean into the intimacy of two genderqueer lovers’ playful first time together, witness the ultimate spell cast by a fiery mathemagician, and journey with the first trans astronaut toward a whole new kind of first contact.

From after-hours surprises that lurk within the closets of a Swedish furniture store to the hustle of navigating life and love in post-condopocalypse Toronto, the queer women, enbies, and bois featured in these twelve tantalizing tales serve up a tender erotic banquet — sometimes with a side of consensual violence and always finished with a sweet course of connection and community.

From start to finish, stories such as Kindling, First Contact, Lockpick Girls, Meat on Bone, and amongst others, After Hours and A Good Date, go deep into the core of what it means to be the characters portrayed, and yet at no time is the prose bogged down with either stereotypical nuances or heavy handed, subliminal even messages.

Nope, for each written story is only told with love, with a desire, a passion to tell a tale that is close, is very personal to that particular author, and as much as each chapter is indeed - most likely - also true to each author therein, we all know it resonates deeply within the communities that will come to this book for companionship, affirmation or even simply a grounded acknowledgment that they are not alone.
