The story follows different queer men who have gone missing over the decades starting in the 1980s.  Mixed in are the authors' personal stories and history that blur the line between fiction and non-fiction. Equally horrifying and heartbreaking.
A very heavy read for me, I found myself tearing up more than once. I believe this is a very unique read that will make you feel things and stay with you for a long time. 100% must read. A mix of creepy folklore, crime, history, body horror, and symbolism.
