This month the wheel decided to bring us to a very special city in Canada.

Welcome to the city where hockey tickets cost you an arm and leg, but the team hasn't won the Stanley Cup in nearly 60 years. The city where you'll never be able to afford property in unless you're into crypto and the city where a raccoon is the unofficial mascot. Bless up fam, welcome to TDot and welcome to the wheel's horrifying pick,  Red X by David Demchuk.

This tale takes us to a community nestled in the downtown core which was meant to be a refuge to all queer folk alike, but finds itself plagued by a number of demons. Police brutality and discrimination, the AIDS crisis, and of course, a very hungry mythical hound (sort of).

So please, for this grungy dive into the belly of this Torontonian beast, grab your hand sanitizer and your TTC fare because you're going to need it.

This podcast includes topics may not be suitable for everyone. This particular novel has a number of heavy triggers that we may be discussing or briefly touching upon. The full list of trigger warnings is available on TheStoryGraph.
