In Muscle Men, Cleis Press offers up 14 essays designed to leave fans of buff dudes in the buff as hard as the abs on their objects of desire. In these tales—two of which are graphic novellas—the protagonists get physical in various settings, including a college dorm, an underground fight club and backstage at a bodybuilder contest. As with all Cleis anthologies, the stories feed the imagination as well as the libido.
