Can you recommend any good homoerotic novels apart from the popular ones?

Sure. 'Predator and Prey' is a lesser - known but very good Shadowrun novel. It offers a different perspective on the game's world, focusing on some of the more gritty and underdog aspects of the Shadowrun society.

Tumblr can be a place to find fanfic. Many writers post their works there, especially shorter pieces or oneshots. You can follow specific fandom tags or blogs dedicated to fanfic. But it can be a bit disorganized, and you might have to dig a bit to find what you want.

Yes, 'Slaves to Darkness' has some interesting Dark Eldar elements. It might not be solely about them, but it gives a different perspective on their relationship with other forces of Chaos. It shows how they can be both allies and enemies depending on the situation.

A lesser - known rebus novel might be 'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski. The unique formatting of the text, with footnotes that seem to lead to other footnotes, and the use of different fonts and page layouts all create a rebus - like experience. The story itself is also full of puzzles and strange elements that make the reader work hard to piece together the narrative, much like solving a complex rebus.

Yes, they were sometimes called 'bloods'. This was likely because some of the stories in dime novels could be quite sensational and might involve elements that were considered a bit gory or thrilling, hence the name 'bloods'.

One could also say Japanese - style light novels. This is because a large number of anime novels originate from Japan. These novels typically have a certain style that is characteristic of Japanese literature, such as a focus on character relationships, coming - of - age themes, and a blend of modern and traditional elements. They also often have anime - like art on the cover or inside the book.

Picture - story books can also be considered. In a way, graphic novels are like elaborate picture - story books. They have a sequence of pictures that, when combined with the text (if any), create a complete story. It's like a more grown - up and complex version of traditional picture - story books.

Sometimes, it might be referred to as a 'collection' of related novels. However, this term is a bit more general and can also be used for collections of unrelated works. But in the context of related novels, it can still be applicable. For instance, a publisher might group a set of related mystery novels by a particular author into a 'collection' for marketing purposes. These novels would likely share similar themes, characters, or settings, making them related in a way that justifies being grouped together.

There are some indie publications as well. For instance, certain works by local LGBTQ+ authors might explore the modern homoerotic cowboy narrative. You can search for them in specialized LGBTQ+ bookstores or online platforms dedicated to such niche literature. These novels often not only deal with the homoerotic aspect but also with the cowboy way of life, like ranching, horse - riding, and the wide - open spaces of the West, all through the lens of queer relationships.

Another great one is 'Glory in Death'. It has a captivating plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It further develops the relationship between the main characters while also presenting a complex mystery to solve.
