Suggest me a gay horror/mystery/crime novel that leaves me breathless!
Basically what the title says. What I'm looking for is a male romance story surrounded by a thrilling horror/mystery/crime plot – or something similar.
If you’re interested in YA, Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White and This City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros!
Hell Followed With Us is about a trans teenager named Benji who escapes from the religious cult in which he was raised (and which, uh, started the apocalypse using biochemical warfare that’s literally turning him into a monster). In his escape, he is taken in by a queer resistance group trying to survive, and he has a romance plotline with one of their leaders. Be warned for some pretty graphic body horror at times, but it’s a fantastic book!
This City Beautiful is historical fiction set in Chicago during the World Fair. Alter is in love with his best friend, but then Yaakov becomes the latest victim in a string of mysteriously dead Jewish boys. When Alter is possessed by a dybbuk made from Yaakov’s soul, he is forced to investigate the murders and try to get to the bottom of the mystery. In the process, he runs into a boy from his past who might have some of the answers…
