“Hell has followed us onto Earth, and I am the monster that has brought it forth“

This is a blood-soaked tale of wrath, revenge, and queer rage. Wrought with pain, body horror, and gore. Bursting at the seams with representation. Add in commentary on religious cults and systematic oppression and you have this story of teens with talons, fangs, and fury. 

This book feels like the catharsis of screaming into the abyss. Primal and raw.
