The second novel by Lambda Literary Award winner Amber Dawn that is both a family melodrama and a lesbian supernatural thriller.

It's the summer of 1990 and the smalltown of Crystal Beach has lost its beloved, long-running amusement park,leaving the lakeside village a virtual ghost town. It is back to this fallencommunity Starla Mia Martin must return to live with her overbearing motherafter dropping out of university and racking up significant debt. But aneconomic downturn, mother-daughter drama, and Generation X disillusionment soonprove to be to be the least of Starla's troubles: a mysterious and salaciousforce begins to dog Starla; inexplicable sounds in the night and unimaginablesites spotted in the periphery. Soon enough, she must confront the unresolvedtraumas that haunt Crystal Beach.

Sodom Road Exit might read like a conventional paranormal thriller, except that Starlais far from a conventional protagonist. Where others might feel fear, Starlafeels lust and queer desire. When others might run, Starla draws the horrornearer. And in turn, she draws a host of capricious characters toward her-allof them challenged to seek answers beyond their own temporal realities. 

Sodom RoadExit, the second novel by Amber Dawn, is abook that's alive with both desire and dread.
