Review of 'Queer magic' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

This is an interesting summary of homosexual activity and gender variance historically and around the globe. Maybe a little high level, especially in the later chapters, but a) it kinda has to be in order to cover the entire globe in one reasonably sized book, and b) I have to wonder how much material actually exists on the subject anywhere.

Maybe I should have expected this from a book called Queer /Magic/, but I really wasn't expecting the little interstitial bits aimed at practicioners of witchcraft or something up that avenue. I think I would have enjoyed the book more without those.
