Determined to summit Mexico’s three highest mountains, Ryan Jordan must grapple with a sudden bout of stomach nausea while trying to appear strong for the climbs ahead despite the altitude.

Each tale explores the quiet tension between strangers, friends, and unexpected lovers caught in the space between hesitation and heat.

Eros is a stunning collection of short stories, grounded in truth and coloured with dazzling imagination and alluring unpredictable mystery. Revealing how queerness, nature and myth have been intertwined for eternity, these are stories of gods and goddesses: of Zeus, of Eurydice, of Hermaphroditus, of Icarus before he flew into the sun. Stories of queer life, lust, revenge, wrath, passion and sex. Of yearning, love, loss. Some stories span across a life, and others, an evening. Perspectives will shift. Houses will burn. Lovers will learn their fate.

On the run after a heinous crime, one man learns this lesson as he races towards freedom in Mexico. One turn off the beaten path leads to a desolate gas station and a nightmare he’ll never forget…if he survives.
