Derek McCormack is growing up in a small town in the early 1950s.
Like many teenagers, he's facing a lot of problems. Unlike many
teenagers, his biggest one is that he's gay and doesn't know what
to do about it. Unable to talk about it with others, unable to even
admit it to himself, he glides through life taking notice only of
ephemera from fireworks and midway rides to holiday ornaments and
country music stars. Dark Rides is a
fascinating exploration of desire, identity and fear.
