Synopsis
Into This River I Drown by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune is a cathartic Lambda Literary Award-winning novel about a grieving man who falls in love with an angel of death, now available from Tor Books
Lambda Literary Award Winner for Best Gay Romance!
"[Kirt] Graves brings a steady, thoughtful performance that perfectly matches the novel’s reflective tone... Graves creates an experience that feels intimate and immersive without tipping into sentimentality.” _Booklist (Starred Review) on We Burned so Bright
Five years ago, Benji’s beloved father drowned. An accident, they said. His father’s truck crashed into a river. There was nothing that could be done. But all these years later, Benji still suspects something more happened. He lives buried deep in his grief, struggling to keep his father’s convenience store afloat in the small town of Roseland, Oregon.
Beset by intense visions of feathers and water, Benji's grasp on reality starts to slip until one day, a man named Calliel falls from the sky, leaving the burning imprint of wings on the ground. In the winged man’s company, Benji’s world becomes much stranger and more mysterious than he could have possibly imagined. And much more dangerous.
Forces of great power are descending on Roseland. Forces that will reveal long-hidden truths about reality, family, and Calliel who Benji is finding he can no longer live without.
Perfect for fans of Supernatural and The Leftovers, and readers of Stephen King and queer romance.
“Narrator Kirt Graves shows remarkable emotional versatility in his depictions of hope, desperation, apathy, and acceptance...This highly emotional audiobook won’t leave listeners dry-eyed.” —Kirkus Review on We Burned so Bright
