About this ebook
'A truly monstrous romance' JULIA ARMFIELD, AUTHOR OF OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA
'An exciting new hybrid horror-romance novel' THE NEW YORK TIMES
'Lesbian pulp meets literary horror' YAEL VAN DER WOUDEN, AUTHOR OF THE SAFEKEEP
‘A heady novel of desire and despair’ – SFX Magazine
A monstrous-yet-sexy queer horror novel guaranteed to keep you up all night...
There is a monster inside of Angelina Sicco. All she wants is to walk her mongrel dog, hold court with her brother in their local dive bar, and bait hot queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown, Cadenze. The problem is, so does the monster. It wants what Angelina has done, it wants what she’s going to do. It wants to eat her whole life, and every version of every future she might have with it.
Until it possessed her, the famous monster of Cadenze lived deep in a pit inside the mountain. But on the night when Angelina runs into her brother’s ex, the sternly handsome Jagvi, the creature rises hungry and ready to eat. Its claws comb through her private thoughts, her most intimate and traumatic memories. Only Jagvi's touch repels it, but the monster feasts on all the mess that makes up a life, and Angelina Sicco's has never looked tastier. What will Angelina do to protect her future? And just how much will it cost her?
‘Sophisticated and petrifying, it genre splices so well that it's not a splice any more. I've never read anything like it!’ TAMSYN MUIR, AUTHOR OF THE LOCKED TOMB SERIES
'A frightening and sensual exploration of possession and eroticism' ERIC LAROCCA, AUTHOR OF THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE
'Beautiful, greedy and terrifying, this book makes an intimate home for itself right alongside your bones' FREYA MARSKE, AUTHOR OF A MARVELLOUS LIGHT
