Red X
A Novel
David Demchuk
This spellbinding novel gives a history of Toronto’s gay village through the stories – and the horror – of the men who go missing over decades and even centuries, and the friends they leave behind, marked and bound to each other in mysterious ways. Interwoven with their stories is the author’s personal story and his exploration of the relationship between queerness and horror, as fact and fiction become indistinguishable.
