While it’s relentless and can be incredibly disturbing, there are also moments of beauty, hope, and a certain melancholy. “ a book full of heart and righteous fury, an urban nightmare with some retro-horror stylings that sidesteps that genre’s usual pitfalls of splatter and pessimism to deliver a story of emotional heft and guarded optimism. That’s a good thing - too much contemporary horror fiction plays for easy shocks and even easier sentimental tears, and Demchuk is clearly after something deeper.” “Can a horror novel be too disturbing? David Demchuk’s Red X begs that question, not because of any excess of gore or violence but because of its singular and unflinching dark vision.

“Demchuk’s unconventional approach to storytelling holds readers close, speaking directly to them and sharing in the terror.” As he tries to make sense of the relationship between queerness and horror, what it means for gay men to disappear, and how the isolation of the LGBTQ+ community has left them profoundly exposed to monsters that move easily among them, fact and fiction collide and reality begins to unravel.Ī bold, terrifying new novel from the award-winning author of The Bone Mother.

But as the missing grow in number, those left behind begin to realize that whoever or whatever is taking these men has been doing so for longer than is humanly possible. Against the shifting backdrop of homophobia throughout the decades, from the HIV/AIDS crisis and riots against raids to gentrification and police brutality, the survivors face inaction from the law and disinterest from society at large. One by one, stalked and vanished, they leave behind small circles of baffled, frightened friends. They're the marginalized, the vulnerable. Men are disappearing from Toronto's gay village.
