What People Are Saying

"Raucous, raunchy, no-holds barred sex hits you right off. But then the story delves deep into its characters, and how their unresolved quest for identity and belonging brings them face to face with old dangers. In turns funny and poignant, Casey Hamilton has written a brilliant work on Black gay life for the 21st century. I felt this story to my core."  

— Gar McVey-Russell, author of Sin Against the Race



“Author Casey Hamilton opens this poignant novel with a killer instinct for action, lust, and intrigue, and the work only deepens and plays on your heart with every page you turn.”

“MENAFTER10 is both street smart and heartfelt, an engaging ensemble cast moving these linked short stories to their inescapable ends with sharply observed warmth and an eye for the absurd.”

— Jerry L. Wheeler, Lambda Literary award finalist and founder of Out in Print: Queer Book Reviews

“Heartfelt, vulnerable and at times, achingly funny. The interweaving stories of MENAFTER10 will resonate with anyone who’s longed for love and acceptance in the alienating world of hookup culture. Casey Hamilton is a writer to take immediate notice of.”

— Thera D. Pitts, author of South

“In MENAFTER10, Casey Hamilton sings a song of sad young men, in a voice blending the better aspects of James Earl Hardy and Jackie Susann – cynical, very nearly joyless, yet finally moving. Hamilton and his novel are important additions to the canon of Black queer men’s literature.”

— Larry Duplechan, author of BLACKBIRD and GOT ‘TIL IT’S GONE
