Wheels of Darkness and Other Stories is a slash Harry and Johnny 56-page anthology of stories, photocopied pictures of actors, and ads from gay men's magazines. Art is by TH and Ruth Kurz. Those who appear to have contributed clippings are LaS, NB and MWh.
They are sequels to Eileen Roy's novel Shooting Star.
Like most of the Harry and Johnny fanzines, it was published without the required pre-1989 copyright notices and may be in the public domain.

Fan Comments
Back in the H/J days a story was written called "The Kurz Curse" where Minnie in SH fandom got caught at the xerox machine copying an H/J story. It typified the awkward moments we've all suffered. My most recent was when my 11 year old grandson saw the copy of Hanky Panky I was xeroxing for a friend and asked, "Grandma, why do you like this dirty stuff?" I answered piously, "I don't think it's dirty to love somebody." But I don't think he was convinced. Ah me. [1]
