Razorblade Tears

S.A. Cosby

An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here. A Black father. A white father. Two murdered sons. A quest for vengeance.Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid.The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy.Ike and Buddy Lee, two ex-cons with little else in common other than a criminal past and a love for their dead sons, band together in their desperate desire for revenge. In their quest to do better for their sons in death than they did in life, hardened men Ike and Buddy Lee will confront their own prejudices about their sons and each other, as they rain down vengeance upon those who hurt their boys.Provocative and fast-paced, S.A. Cosby's Razorblade Tears is a story of bloody retribution, heartfelt change - and maybe even redemption.

Mrs. S

K. Patrick

A sublime and sensual debut novel exploring the nature of queer love and attraction, the transformative power of desire, and the dissonance between self and place, by White Review Fiction Prize shortlisted writer K. Patrick In an elite English boarding school where the girls kiss the marble statue of the famous dead author who used to walk the halls, a butch antipodean outsider arrives to take up the antiquated role of “matron.” Within this landscape of immense privilege, where difference is met with hostility, the matron finds herself unsure of her role, her accent and her body. That is until she meets Mrs. S, the headmaster’s wife, a woman who is her polar opposite—an assured, authoritative paragon of femininity. Over the course of a long, restless summer, their unspoken yearning blooms into an illicit affair of electric intensity. But, as the summer fades, a choice must be made. Seductive, stylish, and disarmingly wry, K. Patrick’s bold and revelatory debut smolders with the heat of summer as it explores the queer experience and the force of forbidden love.

A book about love, passion, desire, queerness and gender, Mrs. S explores the different aspects of queer identity while involving you in a burning love story.

The longing between the narrator and Mrs. S is very subtle and that characteristic shows the forbidden nature of it. We slowly get to know the narrator’s feelings with the way she interacts with Mrs. S, getting to know her inner thoughts and not only how she views Mrs. S, but how she views the way Mrs. S looks at her. There’s so much yearning between them, soft moments with a much bigger meaning, glances and touches that burn with desire, a sexual attraction that grows with intensity the more the two characters interact.

A surprising part of this book, and probably my favorite, was how well it approached gender and (not) feeling at home in your body. Looking at someone and wishing to be like them, to feel as comfortable as they seem to be, all that while still wanting to be noticed. To want to change how you look while still wanting someone to look at you.

I’m still not sure how to feel about the prose in this book. It takes some getting used to, but it does gets to a point where it becomes easier to understand who’s talking and how the narrator differentiates between dialogue and her own thoughts. The 1st person pov together with the almost dreamlike dialogue, the absence of quotation marks and dialogue tags makes the connection with the narrator much more personal, almost like we’re stepping into the main characters’ shoes and experiencing their story.

But the most important message of this book: don’t let your husband stop you from finding the butch of your life.
