'Basement of Wolves' follows the adventures of a paranoid Hollywood actor trying to escape the spotlight.
"I spent eighteen years in a group that taught me to hate myself. You cannot be queer and a Jehovah's Witness-it's one or the other." Daniel Allen Cox grew up with firm lines around what his religion considered unacceptable: celebrating birthdays and holidays; voting in elections, pursuing higher education, and other forays into independent thought. Their opposition to blood transfusions would have consequences for his mother, just as their stance on homosexuality would for him. But even years after whispers of his sexual orientation reached his congregation's presiding elder, catalyzing his disassociation, the distinction between "in" and "out" isn't always clear. Still in the midst of a lifelong disentanglement, Cox grapples with the group's cultish tactics-from gaslighting to shunning-and their resulting harms-from simmering anger to substance abuse-all while redefining its concepts through a queer lens. Can Paradise be a bathhouse, a concert hall, or a room full of books? With great candour and disarming self-awareness, Cox takes readers on a journey from his early days as a solicitous door-to-door preacher in Montreal to a stint in New York City, where he's swept up in a scene of photographers and hustlers blurring the line between art and pornography. The culmination of years spent both processing and avoiding a complicated past, I Felt the End Before It Came reckons with memory and language just as it provides a blueprint to surviving a litany of Armageddons.
Lambda Literary Award Finalist Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction Finalist Shortlisted for a ReLit Award Shortlisted for an Independent Literary Award This second novel by Lambda Literary Award finalist Daniel Allen Cox ("Shuck") is an incendiary story about two pyromaniacs who fight homophobia in Krakow, Poland, one of the fronts of the "Solidarnosc" revolution that eventually toppled the Berlin Wall in 1989. It's 2005, and Poland is grappling with its newfound role as a member of the European Union; the nation dips into moral crisis as Pope John Paul II (a Pole) hovers near death while the country's soon-to-be president makes homophobic declarations. Radek, a bisexual artist and a practitioner of the extreme urban sport parkour, is convinced that fire is the great stabilizer. While creating miniature replicas of the world's great infernos―C hicago 1871, San Francisco 1906, London 1666―he meets Dorota, a literature student and budding pyromaniac. Driven by rage, sexual curiosity for one another, and Pink Floyd, they buck church, government, and the LGBT community to find sexual freedom, escaping their enemies by scaling the crumbling walls and ideas of the city. Provocative and unnerving, "Krakow Melt" is at once a love letter and a fiery call to arms.
Audacious and urban, 'Shuck' follows a gay hustler who rises to the top of New York's seedy gay underworld.
