Running by Night

Running by Night, by G. Russell Overton, is the romantic adventure of Joe Kelly, a gay rights activist in Bay City, Michigan. Political extremists seized power, eliminated their opposition, and targeted activists like Joe. Joe fought back to defend his rights.

Running by Night should appeal to most adult audiences. It tells Joe Kelly's journey of exploration, love, and conflict. It is a fast paced novel yet continually challenges the reader to ponder the thesis that holocaust can happen anywhere anytime, and its victims can be any people outside a social norm.
