Gay Fiction:Thrillers and Mystery

Adrenaline by James Robert Baker. List Price:£8.99
	It begins as a routine trick: two guys on a beach after midnight. Instant attraction, chemical overload, but in the heat of the moment they are interrupted. Brutalized by police, they fight back, a cop dies, and Nick and Jeff are on the run through Los Angeles at its worst. James Robert Baker's cult first novel--originally published under the name James Dillinger--is at once an anarchist's howl of rage at oppression and the soulless culture of Hollywood, and it is a noir thriller peppered with hilarious vignettes and ironic insight. Fueled by passion, fear, and methamphetamine, Nick and Jeff's odyssey through Southern California is a nightmare of hair-breadth escapes and bizarre encounters with, among others, a decadently decaying movie producer, a corrupt church official, a deranged neurosurgeon, and a psychotic cop; however, Adrenaline surges above the genre of fugitive fiction by casting a clear and wary eye on the disturbing darkness that lies below society's polished surface. It is this more than anything else that makes the story of Nick and Jeff, their love, and their flight, a modern parable of redemption. Click here to buy from Amazon.co.uk

A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice. List Price:£6.99
	Synopsis A gripping and hauntingly atmospheric debut novel from Anne Rice's son In the brooding milieu of New Orleans, four friends are about to recognise the fragile boundaries between loyalty and betrayal. Once inseparable. Meredith, Brandon, Stephen and Greg enter high school only to learn that their friendship cannot withstand the envy and rage of adolescence. Their individual struggles are fuelled by the generations of family feuds and furtive passions hoarded within their opulent Garden District Amazon.co.uk Review One might expect A Density of Souls to plough new furrows in vampire territory, given its author is the son of famed horror writer Anne Rice. But Christopher Rice's bold and startling debut is as far removed from his mother's supernatural fiction as could be. That's not to say there aren't similarities in this coming of age novel set in New Orleans and focusing on four friends, weighed down by the baggage of their parents and the aspirations and expectations of the city's affluent society. At the forefront is Stephen, a young gay man who even now is haunted by the death of his father years before. Stephen is just beginning to realise who he is, his place in both his own world and that of his friends, when childhood allegiances are shattered and old painful memories come bubbling to the surface with shocking and violent repercussions.Rice's debut is a dark, gloomy and, for the most part, humourless story, but one layered with so much truth and feeling that its hard not to care as the four friends are plunged into a world that forces them to grow up quickly. Stephen's sexuality is the driving force of the novel but he grows stronger as the novel progresses, much more able to accept and deal with it than his childhood companions. The sex scenes are sparse and stark but very rarely graphic. Rice has plenty to say on homophobia in both American high schools and the wider world, but it is about more than that. It's a fable on the power of lies, the corrupting power of secrets and inevitable yet painfully seductive hold that the people, places and events of our childhood have over the rest of our lives. The denouement twists and turns and culminates is an apocalyptic climax but it is a nerve shredding ending to a powerful, brutal, dark and seriously sexy thriller. --Jonathan Weir Click here to buy from Amazon.co.uk
