A Perfect Scar and Other Stories is a whimsical, sly, and slightly crazy collection of short stories from award-winning novelist, poet, and songwriter Trebor Healey. These 12 tales cover a lot of ground, including AIDS, aging, death, eroticism, tattoos, and multiculturalism—all told with humor, insight, and Healey's rich, lyrical touch. This sometimes poignant, sometimes erotic assortment of fauns, punks, cowboy dykes, old men with swollen prostates, young men with criminal records, and gangsters doomed by their own beauty and grace are bound together by folly, fate, and passion in their search to find some semblance of peace in the world.
Trebor Healey received the 2004 Ferro-Grumley and Violet Quill Awards for his first novel, Through It Came Bright Colors (Haworth). His poetry has filled five chapbooks and a collection--Sweet Son of Pan--and his work has appeared in dozens of literary journals, including the James White Review, the Chiron Review, Long Shot, The Santa Barbara Review, and Evergreen Chronicles. His fiction has been featured in the Harrington Gay Men's Fiction Quarterly (Southern Tier Editions) and has appeared online in the Blithe House Quarterly, Lodestar, Ashe! and Tina. Healey's work has also appeared in Queer Dharma: Voices of Gay Buddhists (Vols. II and III), Wilma Loves Betty and Other Hilarious Gay and Lesbian Parodies, Mama's Boy: Gay Men Write About Their Mothers, Signs of Life, Pills and Thrills, Chills and Heartache, Best American Erotica 2007, and Beyond Definition: New Writing from Gay and Lesbian San Francisco, for which he served as co-editor.
