4/5

Weird, queer and strangely compelling. Sol Katz is an archivist sorting through dead people's effects. His life gets complicated when odd things start happening at the archive and he gets closer to his new partner. Oh, and he's a vampire.

- The character of Sol was super well done. We follow his point of view and really get into his head about his worries, his struggles, his joys and his pitfalls. 

- The format of the book is strange. We get regular prose from Sol interspersed with scripts, email chains, fanfiction, old forum posts and more. It is sometimes a little disjointed but definitely fits the vibe of this book.

- The queer representation is very thoughtful and show both overtly and through metaphor and allegory. How Sol's vampirism fits into this really works and I love how they contrasted the queer and the vampiric.

If you like spooky, queer and very weird books, pick up Dead Collections.
