    Summary

    You pop open the plastic Blockbuster Video rental case and push the tape into the VCR. The last person to rent was kind enough to rewind, so you hit play. After a strongly worded message from the FBI, the first trailer begins. An armandsairpods and Thunder_Puss joint production...

    "Accidental novelist Daniel Molloy is ready to do just about anything to avoid writing a sequel to the hit pulp vampire romance he churned out while in the throes of his addiction. Lucky for him that the luxury apartment building he's just moved into is full of beautiful and strange characters to keep him busy. His neighbor, for example; the handsome Louis who feels uneasy about the old building's acoustics and often senses that he is being watched. Louis' ex, Lestat, with his prince-like charm and sweeping romantic gestures that almost make up for his careless missteps. Did we mention that he is French? And he isn't the only one. You'll meet Madeleine, Eglee, Santiago, and Claudia. And, of course, there is the building's beguiling manager, Armand. A strange and mild-mannered man with just a few too many plates spinning and an obvious desire to appear outwardly conventional which leaves Daniel with a burning desire to peel back his layers."

    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.

    “I’m startled to find an asshole who dumped me decades ago in my living room. I’m considering punching him in his big dumb face."

    Two soon-to-be divorced men and former lovers navigate life and the holidays in New York City in the early 2010s.
