The Bright Lands
by John Fram
Joel Whitley leaves his toxic and homophobic town as soon as he has the chance and heads to NYC. But years later his younger brother Dylan sends him a worrying text and Joel quickly decides it’s time to head home to help. Bad news gets worse soon after he gets home…. his little brother goes missing. This isn’t a simple thing in a town filled to the brink with secrets.
✔️ Creepy horror vibes
✔️ Queer
✔️ Filled with twists and turns
I really enjoyed this one, and loved the main character Joel. It was cringy listening to the heavy conservative langue and tones used, but it was effective at showing the homophobia, toxic masculinity, racism and sexism. Farm hit tons of heavy notes and kept you on your toes, the end was bananas! I did think it was a bit too long, and hard to keep track of the characters during the first half of the book. But overall I loved it!
