The Blade Between

Ronan Szepessy returns to Hudson for a visit he expects to be quick but finds himself pulled into the memories and loyalties he once fled. Reconnecting with old friends Dom and Attalah he helps hatch a scheme to unmask developers and rattle the new arrivals but their mischief awakens something older and hungrier than greed. As the town's ghosts and simmering tensions come to the surface the novel becomes a furious and tender reckoning about memory, belonging, and what it means to fight for a home. Equal parts eerie ghost story and political fable it honors queer love and found family as sources of resistance and comfort.

~ Included for its fierce, tender portrayal of queer belonging amid gentrification and supernatural unrest and for how its blend of horror and heart centers community resistance ~
