Last year, WAXING OFF by E.E.W. Christman came out on this day! This ferocious little novella is so cathartic for queer rage and is more relevant than ever. If you need something to aid your rage, this is the ideal book!
ABOUT THE BOOK
“Waxing Off is a fresh, engaging new take on the werewolf mythos, expertly probing themes about gender and loneliness while still making sure the reader enjoys a satisfying, bloody romp. Fans of Gretchen Felker-Martin and Chuck Tingle will find a lot to love here. E.E.W Christman is an exciting new voice in the queer horror space whose future work I’m definitely looking forward to!”
-Liz Kerin, author of the Night’s Edge Duology and The Phantom Forest
Welcome to Cat’s Cove
A struggling Pacific Northwest fishing town teeming with transphobes and werewolves…
but not the ones you are thinking of.
Drew is a non-binary werewolf, but hardly by choice. Having made a home for themself working in a fish fry joint and trying to hide their secret, their heightened sense of smell leads them to Gab – a female werewolf who is about to change their life in more ways than one. Coming from a family that did nothing to make Drew feel comfortable in their own skin, their immediate connection with Gab is intimate and unexpected.
But a collective of TERFs lurks nearby, and an attack makes it clear that they would prefer it if Gab fell in line, and Drew simply ceased to exist. Little do they know what is coming for them.
Filled with ferocity, carnage, and the enduring power of queer love and acceptance, Waxing Off is a werewolf horror story with heart, and a testament to what it means to fight back, fight for yourself, and fight to exist.
The paperback features inside cover artwork by Nick Dunkenstein. The hardback has a black and white version of Nick’s artwork on the front page.
