Daddy Boy is Emerson Whitney’s second novel and first UK release (thank you Cipher Press!). The book navigates the end of a 10-year relationship with a dominatrix they called Daddy. Living in a tent in the back garden of their shared house, figuring out what life will look like now, they connect with something else inside of them, older than submission - tornado chasing. While the novel follows them on a bus, as part of a storm-chasing group - the form of the book is not a straight story. Whitney brings in all varied references; anecdotes from the road, phone calls from home, memories from the decade gone, past versions of themselves and a first draft of the book you’re reading.
