For readers of Nightbitch and We Ride Upon Sticks, this strange and sexy novel of queer love in a small town is an unsettling reminder that the horrors of modern life is a monster ready to possess us all. 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. But on the night of a family party, Angelina runs into the sternly handsome Jagvi, who's back in town for a spell. Upon Jagvi's arrival, an ancient evil is awakened, and a monstrous force infiltrates Angelina's life. Only Jagvi’s touch repels it — the final trigger for a secret, passionate romance. This monster feasts on all the messy bits that naje up a life, and Angelina Sicco’s life has never looked tastier. What will Angelina do to protect her future–and at what cost?

Jagvi twisted her head, trying to look Angelina in the face. Her fingers dug into Angelina’s thighs. “Me, too.”

Angelina nodded. She laid her cheek against Jagvi’s hair, felt the bunch of Jagvi’s muscles under her as Jagvi took steady strides up the mountain. “I really, really hope he’s home, Jag, ‘cause—the deal sucks.”
