This was a wonderful way of getting to know Sir Patrick beyond the four pips on his Starfleet collar. And perfect to hear him read it. What a remarkable life, and a thoughtful reflection upon it.

Mirabella skillfully brings us into the pain and fragile beauty of sibling relationships in the face of subtle and grotesque trauma. Very well written.

Reviewed: 02-26-23
I loved the writing here, and while the material is difficult, the skill is evident in each painful word. As a gay man, I have never read/heard “f****t” so often in a work that has no gay people in it, which disturbed me as I presume it was meant to do. I yearned for the redemption of m/m love in the face of such wanton and pointless violence between men/boys, but the tenderness here is more fragile and painful than in fiction

Story
Men are disappearing from Toronto's gay village. They're the marginalized, the vulnerable. One by one, stalked and vanished, they leave behind small circles of baffled friends. 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. 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.

Lush Horror Story
Reviewed: 09-15-21
This delicious and sinister little novel was a delight. Loved reading about characters with whom I could identify, and was genuinely creeped out at times. I liked the narrator shift although I was skeptical at first. Found myself imagining optioning it for a movie adaptation…

Story
Sofia, Bulgaria, a landlocked city in southern Europe, stirs with hope and impending upheaval. Soviet buildings crumble, wind scatters sand from the far south, and political protesters flood the streets with song. In this atmosphere of disquiet, an American teacher navigates a life transformed by the discovery and loss of love. As he prepares to leave the place he's come to call home, he grapples with the intimate encounters that have marked his years abroad, each bearing uncanny reminders of his past.

Story
Set in present-day Los Angeles, Junk explores an epic conspiracy, one at work for thousands of years that involves total takeover of the planet Earth by aliens. In the wild, souped-up vision of Les Bohem - the acclaimed, Emmy-winning writer of the Steven Spielberg miniseries, Taken - the world is at the end stage of long-range plot that involves a gigantic genetic-engineering project. The aliens who have invaded us have no planet. No spaceship is coming. Instead, a small advance force comes, breeds, and dies - thus becoming an anomaly in our DNA that can’t be explained.

This isn’t War of the Worlds; it’s Mars Attacks. Not The Stand, but a delicious B movie about killer flies and genetic mutations... I see the split reviews and I have one thing to say: this is camp, and the reaction to the book proves one of the book’s main themes.

Lord Crane has never had a lover quite as elusive as Stephen Day. He knows Stephen's job as justiciar requires secrecy, but the magician is doing his disappearing act more than seems reasonable - especially since Crane will soon return to his home in China. Then a blackmailer threatens to expose their illicit relationship. And as Stephen investigates a plague of giant rats sweeping London, his sudden increase in power, boosted by his blood-and-sex bond with Crane, is rousing suspicion that he's turned warlock.
