  Caught in their last moment of decadent obliviousness, the characters in At Danceteria are so blinded by the strobe lights they can’t see what’s waiting in the shadows. While fictional, each of the collection’s seven stories, set at the dawn of the AIDS crisis, takes as their inspiration a real event: Halston and Liza reliving the Studio 54 glory days; Freddie Mercury Roman Holiday-ing Princess Di to a drag show; the Reagan White House rolling out the red carpet for Rock Hudson; a man-on-the-street with main character energy; Jackie Kennedy at a leather bar; a serenading Sylvester; and Keith Haring’s 26th birthday party… hosted by Madonna. Deftly balancing incisive wit and nostalgic melancholy, Walker paints a neon picture of the past, turning queer legends – both lore and people – into vivid reality.

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  "We are not fake anythings!" said Lance. 
  "I could debate that with you," said Blake. 
  "Where is the ghost?" Blake said changing the subject. 
  "Now I have a ghost and a grim reaper in my lounge room!" said Lance infuriated. 
  "Grand Reaper? What's that?" the ghost asked. 
  "Another name for a couch potato!" Lance hissed, 
  "Dork why you shouting," said Junior walking in the room. 
  "Oh, he's no bother, he has good taste! Anyone who likes Neighbours is alright with me" Blake said. 
  "You sure this isn't The Munsters!" Blake asked. 
  "I want to watch this!" said the ghost standing up. 
  "Quit it stop using the voice let him watch this!" Blake said. 
  "He is a ghost he shouldn't be watching soapies!" said Lance. 
  "Dork!” snapped Junior in protest.
