“The short stories in George K. Ilsley’s Random Acts of Hatred are concise, tough little worlds, clearly observed. In his novel ManBug, he scrutinizes a gay love affair with a wittily oblique take on storytelling. Ilsley isn’t afraid of the dark, and he doesn’t shy away from being sexy and funny either.” -- 2010 Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers Jury (Brian Francis, Don Hannah, and Suzette Mayr)
