本書是Dale Peck結合回憶錄與長篇隨筆的作品，回望 1987 至 1996 年間愛滋疫情最動盪的時期。作者以拼貼式結構，穿梭抒情、評論與報導書寫，描繪街頭行動者、藝術家與感染者的日常，也直面政府的遲疑與冷漠。從紐約、倫敦到密爾瓦基，書寫不僅關於疾病，更關於恐懼、慾望、身分與公共行動。本書細膩呈現AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power的現場經驗，同時反思文學如何在危機中保存記憶，為那個仍未遠去的年代留下必要而清醒的見證。A Flavorwire Best Nonfiction Book of 2015A Bay Area Reporter Best LGBT Nonfiction of 2015 Selection"Novelist and critic Dale Peck's latest work--part memoir, part extended essay--is a foray into what the author calls "the second half of the first half of the AIDS epidemic," i.e., the period between 1987, when the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) was founded, and 1996, when the advent of combination therapy transformed AIDS from a virtual death sentence into a chronic manageable illness.

自從哥哥裘德咬傷葛蕾絲、消失無蹤後，她的人生再也不同了。她雖然擁有了此生的最愛：丹尼爾，但原本美滿的家庭卻變得支離破碎。某日，消失許久的裘德打電話給葛蕾絲，警告她：「不要相信他。妳以為他可以相信，但妳錯了！」的確，丹尼爾雖然在她身邊，但她不時感覺到他的心不在焉，像在隱瞞些什麼似的。但有什麼事情對最深愛的人說不出口？有什麼祕密不能對靈魂伴侶吐露？如果他不信任自己，那麼她當初為了救贖他的靈魂做出的犧牲，又算什麼？相愛的人之間不應該有謊言，謊言只會讓人越來越迷惘、最終走向毀滅……與其成為怪物而活著，不如以葛蕾絲．狄凡的身分死去……我跪在丹尼爾面前，鎖住我的鏈子已經拉到底；我想親手捧著他的臉，但是我搆不到，鎖住我的鏈子已經不能讓我再前進。我轉而凝視著他深邃的黑色眼眸，彷彿能夠一輩子沉浸其中。我們不可能逃出去，不管我們有多少信心，光憑我們兩個還是打不贏一堆魔鬼。但是，有一個方法可以不讓我內心的惡魔打敗我。我竭盡所能地朝他靠過去，丹尼爾也盡可能地靠近我；我和他的脣只剩毫米之遙，我使出全力拉扯鏈子，感覺自己的手臂就快脫臼，但我多前進了幾毫米，成功吻住丹尼爾的脣。我深深吻著丹尼爾，彷彿這是我和他之間的最後一個吻。然而，我很清楚，這是事實。明天早上，為了拯救我所愛的人，我將死去。The non-stop sequel to The Dark Divine delivers an even hotter romance and more thrilling action than Bree Despain's first novel.
