In the weeks following Halloween, Bath's Queer Voices Reading Group will dive into what is sure to be a contemporary queer horror classic in the years to come.


Crane is grateful. Among his hive's followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won't destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant-and the hive demands the child's birth, no matter the cost-Crane's desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood.

The adult debut novel of Andrew Joseph White (known for Hell Ends with Us) is a raw, bloody and hellish response to the overturning of Roe vs Wade in the United States. Trigger warnings for: pregnancy horror, transphobia, rape, domestic abuse, cannibalism, suicide (not for the faint of heart!)


"Chilling and visceral, White's unputdownable horror envisions an Appalachia overrun with flesh eating worms and flies and the dreadful price the humans must pay to keep them satiated." -Waterstones

“[A] brilliant, page-turning piece of trans splatterpunk body horror and an earnest, heart-rending tragedy. White should win a whole new set of fans with this.” -Publisher's Weekly
