In Dickensian Britain, a popular parlour game called for players to sacrifice something of value each time they made an error, no matter how insignificant. Barely escaping from an oppressive school for wayward boys, teenagers Ben and Jem find themselves free and able to express themselves for the first time in their lives. As their bond and affection for each other deepens, their journey takes them to a dark and horrific place where their devotion to each other is tested to the very limit. A haunting tale of queer discovery, love, and sacrifice.

Autorenporträt
J.S. was born and raised in Ashtabula, Ohio, a small port town on the southern shore of Lake Erie. A Sunday's child, an unrepentant Virgo, and an unwilling Catholic, J.S. gravitated towards science fiction and fantasy at an early age. The original Star Trek series made an indelible impression upon him, and he is a die-hard fan to this day. A self-proclaimed purveyor of pop music, J.S. spent the late '60s and most of the '70s listening to Detroit/Windsor's Top 30 powerhouse AM 800 CKLW. He still retains his collection of childhood 45s, his college vinyl, and over 1,000 CDs that he just can't part with. He's maintained an online radio station since 2004. J.S. came out as queer in his early twenties, though he'd been pairing M/M couples from mainstream media long before that. J.S. has penned a fair bit of M/M fan fiction across a number of fandoms, and this piece is his first original work. J.S. enjoys a good red ale, a nice bourbon, and any appetiser with a fancy aioli. He is fiercely progressive, definitely liberal, and proudly "woke." J.S. resides in North Fort Myers, Florida, with his husband of 28 years, and their lovably overbearing Black Mouth Cur, Jo.
