The Day Harken Darringer Died by DoctorBuckles

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I went into The Day Harken Darringer Died expecting a gay memoir, but it’s really much more. I grew up a child of the 80s, so I was too young to be fully exposed to the burgeoning AIDS devastation during its initial decade firsthand like Harken and all those who were just a few years older than I was. I've kept myself educated about those early years of the epidemic, and thought I knew just how bad it was. Reading The Day Harken Darringer Died, I was frequently shocked at how grim and hopeless those early AIDS years were for so many, with not just the disease decimating the community, but also a rash of tragic murder suicides.

Considering the excessively high body count, bloody scenes, human monsters, and the inevitable extended death of the title, is The Day Harken Darringer Died really that different in genre from recent horror titles like Clive Barker's The Scarlet Gospels and Stephen King's Finders Keepers? It didn’t seem so when I read these three books back to back to back. Whether historical gay fiction or genre tinged death trip, The Day Harken Darringer Died is a compelling, recommended read. Author DoctorBuckles’ first person prose is succinct and shows the promise of an exciting new voice.

This book is also much more than a grim reminder of a community's dark ages. It is also a party, a decades spanning party that will leave you smiling, exhilarated, and breathless. All of the parties, the sex, the drugs, and the epic amounts of debauchery the reader can safely experience within this story's pages. Just hold on tight and prepare for the speedy drops and loop-de-loops that this literary roller coaster provides.
