Gaywyck (Alyson)
Gaywyck (Alyson) | Vincent Virga
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
"Gaywyck," the first gay gothic romance, treads firmly in beloved territory, both honoring it and reinventing it. Classic in style, Vincent Virga creates a world as authentic as anything penned by DuMaurier, retaining the creaking ancestral mansion and mysterious and brooding master of the manor, while replacing the traditional damsel in distress with the young and handsome Robert Whyte. Vincent Virga has been called "America's foremost picture editor." He has researched, edited, and designed picture sections for more than 150 books, including "Eyes of the Nation: A Visual History of the United States" and the full-length photo essay "The Eighties: Images of America." He is also the author of "A Comfortable Corner." He is working on a third novel, "Theatricals."

.5/5⭐ CW: pedophilia, incest, child abuse

I've never read a book that went from perfection to horrendous so drastically. During the first few chapters I thought I would rate it 5 stars.

The great Gothic elements promised at the beginning just devolved into performative passages describing jealousy, murder, child abuse, & other gross things just for the sake of it. I cannot begin to describe how ungrounded the narrative became. Do not recommend.
