Featured in our reading guide: Gothic Books for October: 12 Dark Reads for the Season
A Hollywood screenwriter is told to kill off his gay characters, and something starts killing people around him.
Misha has finally made it: an Oscar nomination and a hit streaming series. Then the studio executives, guided by their algorithms, demand he end his show by killing off its two queer leads. When he refuses, the monsters from his own scripts begin showing up in real life.
Tingle, famous for his absurdist internet fiction, turns out to write horror with real anger and real heart. It's a slasher about the entertainment industry's worst habits, and it's gleefully, grimly funny.
Reader note: Contains graphic horror violence.
Fast-paced and brimming with queer representation, it brings fictional monsters to life while exploring the real-life evils of homophobia. This book is Tingle's declaration: Love is real, and so are monsters.
