About this listen
Lee Mandelo's debut Summer Sons is a sweltering queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost.
Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him.
As Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie’s death, he uncovers the lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most, discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled Eddie’s nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin to crumble, letting in the phantom that hungers to possess him.

Story
In the fall of 1991, Zooey Orson transfers to the Blackfriars School for Boys hoping for a fresh start following a scandal at his last school. Before he knows it, he’s fallen in with a group of boys who all share the same secret, one which they can only express openly within the safety of the clandestine gatherings of the Vicious Circle—the covert club for gay students going back decades. But when the boys unwittingly happen upon the headmaster’s copy of an arcane occult text, they unleash an eldritch secret so terrible, it threatens to consume them all.

The city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean. Wracked by plague, abandoned by the South, stripped of industry and left to die. But not everything dies so easily.

Ambrose wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor with no memory of a launch. There’s more that doesn’t add up: evidence indicates strangers have been on board, the ship’s operating system is voiced by his mother, and his handsome, brooding shipmate has barricaded himself away. But nothing will stop Ambrose from making his mission succeed—not when he’s rescuing his own sister.

Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old trans, autistic Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness—a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness—and shipped away to Braxton’s Finishing School and Sanitorium.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Story
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Critic reviews
"Summer Sons is a southern summer in book form: hot and hungry and haunting. I couldn't put it down." —Alix E. Harrow
"Truly intense: you can smell the blood, the sweat, and the petrol. It absolutely rips." —Tamsyn Muir
"At once a raw, beautifully written gothic and an adrenaline-fueled debut, Summer Sons heralds a rich new voice in speculative fiction. Lee Mandelo is for real." —Andy Davidson

Since moving to Mystic Harbor, Maine, I've made it my life's mission to avoid Reese Blackburn at all costs. Sure, he has cheekbones that could cut glass, not to mention bedroom eyes that could melt any girl into a puddle on the floor. Too bad that doesn't change the fact he's completely stab-worthy. When a fun night out on the town turns deadly, I quickly discover the quaint little hamlet of Mystic Harbor houses more than sandy beaches and adorable B&Bs. Beneath the New England charm rests a world where shifters, demons, vampires, and angelic hunters all vie for power.

Using a neurological interface to translate her animal subject’s perception through her own mind, Sean intends to chase both her scientific curiosity and her secret, lifelong desire to experience the intimacy and freedom of wolfishness: to see the world through animal eyes; smell the forest, thick with olfactory messages; even taste the blood and viscera of a fresh kill; and, above all, to feel the belonging of the pack.

Spooky + Realistic/non-toxic Queer Rep. = Great📖
While I sometimes wanted to strangle Andrew, I thought the narrative was quite enjoyable. A good mix of realistic characters, spookiness, & queer themes/representation. It was exactly what I was looking for. Will's narration was also perfection. There was 2 or 3 chapters along the way I thought could've been omitted, but they only add to the intricate detail and imagery that Lee creates.

Gripping story and Characters.
So here's the thing. I saw this recommended and just downloaded before making a 13 drive. And I am so glad I did.
I wouldn't normally say that I'm into goth/supernatural but this was nothing like that. It was about exploring yourself and the perspective of relationships.
it was scary to recognize yourself in the main character and how it took so long to acknowledge what you truly want. But that was just an added bonus in a well crafted story line that will keep you engaged right through.

Honestly, this was the surprise of the year for me and it’s only February. I had this in my library for sometime and just kept passing it over. It is beautifully written, wonderfully preformed and the story is riveting. I highly recommend giving it a try.

excellently creepy
I was very pleased to find some paranormal fun reading in the LGBT category that is actual fiction. It's not a romance novel, even if there are people who are romantically involved. I listened to it while camping and nearly gave myself about 8 heart attacks. The relationships are interesting and the plot is very creative. The university campus shenanigans feel so real. The end is satisfying, which I require because real life isn't always that way. Awesome book!

Should have read the reviews first
I’m not into the lifestyle or spooky stories. Wanted to listen to the narrator. Should have read reviews first

*chefs kiss*
Our protagonist Andrew is about to start his master’s program at Vanderbilt and is dealing with the loss of Eddie, his adopted brother/best friend/???. After a traumatic incident when they were younger, the two have an inescapable bond, more than just friends and more than the earth…
I definitely recommend folks check this out!!! The writing is immaculate and the story is just…so worth it!
Overview: Andrew, determined to figure out what really happened to Eddie, goes to Nashville and meets our ragtag cast of characters: Riley, the roommate; West, the mentor; Sam, Riley’s cousin and overall bad boy; and Prof. Troth, the program’s advisor. Each day brings more questions, forcing Andrew to confront his relationship with Eddie, their ties to an ancestral inheritance, and the mystery of why someone wanted to hurt Eddie - for his niche research interests or for his inheritance?
Things to look forward to: pining, discovery and acceptance of sexuality, southern gothic vibes, calling out systemic racism in academia, fast cars and boys, polyamorous rep, found family
CW: death (happens off and on page in a flashback); being haunted; dead animal; drug use; homophobic slurs

Southern gothic/ redneck noir
oh. my. God.
this book is amazing. fans of The Raven Cycle and These Violent Delights, buckle in. this book has boys in fast cars, queer representation, found family, belligerent acquaintances to lovers, sexy times, coming of age and coming out, magic, ghosts, murder mystery and blood curses. this story is compelling and so. well. written. mandelo will keep you guessing and engaged.
