Monsters of the American Cinema by Christian St. Croix

Remy Washington, a Black man and widower, has inherited both a drive-in movie theater and the responsibility of raising Pup, his late husband’s straight, white teenage son. The two forge a strong bond around a shared love of classic American monster movies, but when Remy discovers Pup has been tormenting a gay classmate, their relationship begins to fracture, and the real horrors surface.

Beneath the flickering glow of the drive-in screen, Monsters of the American Cinema becomes a haunting, funny, and unexpectedly tender tale of fatherhood and loss that the Los Angeles Times hails as “exhilarating.”
