Backstory pick
A stunningly written verse novel reimagining the Greek myth of Geryon in the moden day. It's incredibly powerful, experimental, and bold. Darby

Tormented as a boy by his brother, Geryon escapes to a parallel world of photography.
He falls deeply in love with Herakles, a golden young man, who deserts him at the peak of infatuation. So Geryon retreats ever further into the world created by his camera, fascinated by his wings, his redness and the fantastic accident of who he is. But all is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by Herakles’ return.

Or how about...
