A novel that delves into the unsettling realm of political terror and the thrilling experiences found within Brooklyn's vibrant queer communities. Blending elements of noir, erotic thriller, and dark humor, X offers a vivid, atmospheric, and darkly comedic portrayal of those living on the fringes of an increasingly hostile society. Lee, a disgruntled amateur sadist, spends their days toiling for a large corporation and their nights exploring the labyrinthine warehouses and dungeons of Brooklyn in search of the enigmatic, seductive, and bloodthirsty X. In a cunning scheme to rid the country of undesirable citizens, including migrants, refugees, sex workers, and queers, the US government has initiated the exportation of individuals, and Lee has heard rumors that X may be among those set to disappear. As their fascination with X intensifies, Lee becomes deeply entangled in the crimes and dramas of the city's queer community, following ex-lovers, playmates, clients, best friends, and accidental accomplices through damp and glittering bars and parties, in their quest to uncover any lead that could bring them closer to X, before she vanishes forever.
