After a near death experience, a troubled trans boy is haunted by the ghost of Elvis Presley. As if that wasn't enough, he soon discovers he can bring things back from the dead.
Set in England circa 2005, Black Velvet follows emo music obsessive Aaron Phillips as he navigates a barely breathing music career, a fraying romantic relationship, and fragile mental health seven years after the disappearance of his dad. Wracked with academic ennui, depression and gender dysphoria, Aaron and the afterlife will have to get reacquainted before he can finally find solace.
A powerful exploration of love, loss, and queerness, Black Velvet balances the supernatural with the agonies and apathies of confronting adulthood in the MySpace era.
Perfect for adult millennials who grew up when My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy were at the height of the cultural zeitgeist.
For fans of The Lovely Bones, Cemetery Boys, Life is Strange, and Turtles All The Way Down.
