They just wanted a warm bed for the night.STARbooks Press is proud to announce the re-release of RUNAWAYS, edited by JOHN PATRICK. Over a dozen years since it first printing, RUNAWAYS is one of the most popular JOHN PATRICK anthologies of all time. Featuring stories by the legends of gay erotica, this anthology explores the seldom discussed world of boys who have left the comforts of home to pursue their dreams or escape an unenviable reality to find themselves in need of a home-cooked meal, a roof over their heads and a warm bed. More often than not, they find what they need and more as men of power and privilege - and some with just a steady paycheck - do what they can to help them find their way. But, don’t let these runaways fool you. They have street smarts, and they know the score. They also know how to satisfy and stay alive in a world so few of us have experienced.
