Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie dies of an apparent suicide leaving Andrew with a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom with bleeding wrists that mutters of revenge . . .
A sweltering, queer southern gothic novel, Summer Sons mixes Appalachian street racing and academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost.
“Full of angst and lingering spirits, Lee Mandelo’s debut novel Summer Sons is like Tennessee molasses: dense, dark, slow-moving, and with a distinct Southern flavor.” -- Publishers Weekly
