It's the summer of 1990 and Crystal Beach has lost its beloved, long-running amusement park, leaving the lakeside village a virtual ghost town. It is back to this fallen community Starla Mia Martin must return to live with her overbearing mother after dropping out of university and racking up significant debt. But an economic downturn, mother-daughter drama, and Generation X disillusionment soon prove to be to be the least of Starla's troubles. A mysterious and salacious force begins to dog Starla; inexplicable sounds in the night and unimaginable sites spotted in the periphery. Soon enough, Starla must confront the unresolved traumas that haunt Crystal Beach. Sodom Road Exit might read like a conventional paranormal thriller, except that Starla is far from a conventional protagonist. Where others might feel fear, Starla feels lust and queer desire. When others might run, Starla draws the horror nearer. And in turn, she draws a host of capricious characters toward her—all of them challenged to seek answers beyond their own temporal realities. Sodom Road Exit, the second novel by Lambda Literary Award winner Amber Dawn, is a book that's alive with both desire and dread.

5/5 ⭐️ - this book was such a whacky ride. i got unexpectedly emotional reading starla’s journey returning to her hometown of crystal beach. it was a unique way of telling a ghost story and i loved the queer representation in this book. the characters were charming. it’s also a great tale of found family and how the bonds we make can change others. i also think that it’s a great book on trauma and the lasting effects it has on us and our interpersonal relationships. overall a really solid read, and a totally unexpected love for me.
