Preface
Pain: The Boy After Midnight — rewritten for its 8th anniversary — is a dark queer romance thatexplores the hidden wounds within the LGBT underworld through a love storybetween a half-vampire and a money boy.
Part gothic romance, part spiritual odyssey, the novel follows ahauntingly beautiful journey in search of the true heartbeat within oneself.
Through satire on society, desire, sex, morality, and the soul,this story asks a simple but devastating question:
What does love become when two beings fromdifferent worlds begin to share the same heartbeat?
Because love has little to do with who we were, where we came from,or what darkness shaped us—
when two fractured hearts finally converge into a single rhythm,
they become music.
