A dark, intimate LGBTQ coming-of-age novel in the aftermath of the AIDS crisis -- a Tales of the City for Generation X.

D is shaken when his punk friend Lamb disappears just before they're meant to move in together. When news of Lamb's death finally arrives three years later, it shadows D like a ghost he can't escape.

Decades on, D discovers Lamb's journals and begins to piece together a raw, unfiltered portrait of a sensitive misfit navigating queer awakening, addiction, friendship, and survival in a world that never quite made room for him.

From their first meeting at an elite all-boys school to the chaos of 1990s San Francisco, Lamb's story unfolds through journal entries, letters, poetry, and short fiction. What emerges is a fragmented yet deeply human coming-of-age -- tender and defiant, haunted and electric -- capturing the dazed spirit of young gay men searching for belonging in the long shadow of the AIDS epidemic.
