The Gay Jungle

New York: Selbee Publications, 1965.
First Edition.

20cm x 13cm. 144 pages. Illustrated wrappers.

The story of a male hustler on Times Square. Cover illustration by Gene Bilbrew, also reproduced as a black and white frontispiece. One of the many gay erotic pulp novels produced in the mid to late 20th century. These short sexually explicit stories, many of which were formulaic and published in easily recognisable series with graphically illustrated covers and titillating titles each targeting a specific sexual niche, demonstrate the breadth of sexual fantasy, occupation, desire, and deviance of the emerging homosexual culture.

Very minor shelf wear and foxing. Near Fine Condition.
