What to expect
'No one would want a heart like his. But he'd still cut it out and given it away.'
On the first day back at boarding school, Andrew can't wait to find refuge in the twisted fairy tales that he writes for Thomas - the boy with hair like autumn leaves.
But Thomas' parents have vanished, and he has blood on his sleeve. Stranger still, Thomas won't talk to Andrew, even though he's always loved sketching the monstrous creatures from Andrew's stories.
Desperate to discover the truth, Andrew follows Thomas into the forest and catches him fighting a nightmarish monster - his drawings have come to life.
To ensure no one else dies, the boys must battle the creatures every night. But as their obsession with each other grows stronger, so do the monsters, and Andrew fears the only way to stop them might be to destroy their creator.

Perfect for any reader who has looked into the sharp mouths of disturbing fairy tales and found themself entirely at home.

A bloodied tale of toxic romance and botanical horror, this book will ensnare you like the tendrils of a haunted forest.
Lyndall Clipstone, author of Lakesedge and Unholy Terrors

We can't recommend this enough. A queer dark academia horror that's as haunting as it is addictive . . . The writing is poetic, and made even better with the gorgeous illustrations inside. Great asexual rep, and a banging cover.
