博客來Following the success of Seeing Dead, Edgar D Jackson returns with a chilling new novel that turns the horror genre on its head.
Revolving around themes of identity and the LGBTQ+ experience, The Secret Cuckoo Cabaret Club is a daring second novel that’s unlike anything else out there. A gripping blend of horror and mystery, it demands your attention from the moment the mirrorball spins - to the moment it breaks.
’Cuckoo Cove is a gay town. But there are no gay towns in America.’
Sara knows that better than anyone. She’s a thirty year old transgender performer who spends her days being heckled both on and off the stage. But when she discovers the secret Cuckoo Cabaret Club, her outlook on life starts to change.
Serving as an underground haven for the alienated and excluded, the club is unlike anything Sara has ever known - a hotbed of inclusion, dancing, fireworks, and unrequited ecstasy. It’s like a dream, but outside this dream, the world is turning into a nightmare.
The body of a young gay singer has been found on the shores of Cuckoo Cove, and Sara’s brother, Officer Gaten Dalbret, has been handed the case.
As a shadow falls upon the town, Sara and Gaten must figure out which secrets have been revealed, and which remain hidden. But can they discover the truth before the mirrorball breaks and the party is over?
