About this listen

The deliciously dark and dangerously addictive New York Times bestseller, from the author of the sensational The Boy Who Steals Houses. Wilder Girls meets A Deadly Education in this queer dark academia YA horror, filled with twisted fairy tales and monsters that will keep you up at night.

'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.

heartbreaking, dark, beautiful obsessive

I don't know what I like. I cannot name one single thing, but I do know it hit me deep in my feelings, and it made me ask for more, but at the same time, I don't need anything else.

Promising but confused

This story started well despite no real character history and the main character , after a while started (for me) to come across as a bit too weedy and this meant I wasn't rooting for him. I think it's about time more literature included LgbtQIA and that was a refreshing element to the tale. Narration was okay...I feel the switch between Andrew and Thomas could have been clearer. I felt like the story was close to being complete if the characters had been a little richer. Lots going on but all things felt glanced at rather then fully imagined.
