Slake’s second issue –delayed for gay sexual content — coming soon
After a hitch in its printing schedule because of a story with explicit sexual content, the second issue of Los Angeles-based literary journal Slake is expected to reach bookstores in February.
During the early stages of printing the issue, someone at the printing house read and objected to the story “Tommy Crow” by Sam Slovick. It’s a story of teenagers falling in love — and lust, as teenages do — and contains some explicit sexual language, including one scene that mentions a specific sexual act.
