This book is a love letter to pieces of stories left behind- and a trans allegory about the ways we cling to stories in the margins. In this world vampirism is a real medical condition that requires hiding from sunlight, and shows how people are unwelcome in society- this is so interesting and it's almost an allegory for transgender people, AIDs, and disability all at once. The AIDs crisis was co-occuring in this world though. The main character is a archivist, vampire, ex-fanfic writer (LOTR and Star Trek) and transgender man who lives in his office (illegally). It's about falling in love as a late-bloomer and about connections people make between stories. In some ways, this romance is also a love letter to science fiction fanfic culture, and the importance it has in queer and trans lives.
