Through the late 80s and early 90s, a serial killer preyed on gay men in New York. This unknown killer would pick up his victims at bars, stab them, and dismembered their corpses. Unfortunately, due to the sexuality of his victims, the astonishingly high murder rates in New York City, and amidst the AIDS epidemic; this killer and his victims were largely forgotten. Until now.
Author, Elon Green, paints a portrait of the LGBTQ+ experience during this time that highlights how tenacious and strong the LGBTQ+ community was in New York at this time.
This title is available through the library as a hardback, eAudiobook, and ebook!
