A grotesque-yet-sexy queer horror novel guaranteed to keep you up all night.
Don't wake the monster, it'd just love to get to know you...
Angelina Sicco was born and raised in Cadenze, an ugly little mountain town that's dead most of the year. Determined to be content with her lot in life, she walks her mongrel dog, attends her brother's heavy metal concerts, holds court in the local dive bar, and does everything she can to bait hot, queer women to her sleepy, conservative hometown. On the night of a family party, Angelina runs into the sternly handsome Jagvi, who's back in town for a spell. And who just so happens to be her brother's ex-girlfriend.
But when the local monster makes Angelina its latest target, her feelings for Jagvi seem to be the least of her troubles. The monster feasts on all the messy bits that make up a life, and Angelina Sicco's has never looked tastier. Its claws comb through her private thoughts, her most intimate and traumatic memories. Only Jagvi's touch repels it - the final trigger for a secret, passionate romance. But what is Angelina willing do to protect her future - and at what cost?
