Shrunken Man Stories: 12 Gay Tales of Men Cut Down to Size
A shrunken man story is about one thing: a man who used to be big, now small enough to look up at everyone. Sometimes it's a pill, sometimes a ray, a curse or a bet gone wrong. What matters is the moment he realises the doorway is getting taller, his clothes are getting looser, and the men around him have noticed.
These are twelve of the best gay shrunken man stories on ShrinkingMen, from free first reads to a full-length novel. If you're new to the genre, what are gay shrinking stories? is a good primer, and Exploring the World of Shrunken Men looks at why the fantasy works so well.

What is a shrunken man story?
A story where a man shrinks, usually against his will, and has to deal with being small in a world of bigger men. Most are about power: who had it before, and who has it now.
