Gay Thrillers

from The Gay Book Club · host Booker and Reed

We double up on gay thrillers where love bruises back. P.J.Vernon's Bath Haus drops Oliver—recovering addict, doting doctor boyfriend, very wrong bathhouse hookup—into a spiral of lies he can't outrun. Then Micah Nemerever's These Violent Delights pulls us into 1970s Pittsburgh, where two college boys fall into a Leopold-and-Loeb style obsession that gets exactly as ugly as it sounds. We dig into gay obsession, codependency dressed up as devotion, and the strange pleasure of watching it all fall apart. Lock the door behind you.
