Summary

A New York City hustler with a special gift for reeling in customers, Apollo, 'a pale skinned mulatto with a mournful mouth' strips at a gay sex theatre in Times Square. He is one of the most seductive and disturbing creations in recent American fiction. Unflinchingly describing the lives of hustlers, pimps, drug-addicts and transsexuals in 1990s Times Square, User speaks with the authentic voice of characters from the edge. This is a world filled with stark, hypnotic eroticism and mined with terrors peculiar to the subterranean city in the hours after midnight.  A Queer Classic published in the UK and Australia for the first time. By the bestselling author of The Romanian, winner of the Prix de France.  User is unmistakably brilliant' Los Angeles Times. 'Impressive, startling and eerie...hypnotically descriptive and powerfully rhythmic' Kirkus. 'User is a stunning novel. I both love and respect it even though parts of it challenge and disturb me' Matt Bates.

    River Yates always thought his grandmother’s tales about shifters and witches living among them to be just stories. Until his ex, Drew Preston, showed up at his door naked and bloodied and in need of help. 
After being attacked by wolves determined to tear apart the fledgling Outcast Pack, Drew did the only thing he could: shift and run. The nearest place he might find refuge is River’s house. But his ex is human, and when River accused him of cheating, he ripped out Drew’s heart. 
While River wasn’t wrong about Drew keeping secrets, how could he tell a human what he is? 
When a hunter arrives to kill the shifters that have been making trouble, River is forced to confront the truth not only about Drew but also his own family. Once again, he’ll be picking up weapons and facing off against his grandmother, but this time, it isn’t a training exercise.
