A horror fairytale. Explores questions like: Can you love someone despite them being a monster? Can you love someone despite being a monster? Is embracing the monster within yourselves the source of real love?
Khaw writes gore and body horror in a tenderly visceral way. Beautiful prose containing several levels of fantasy allegories about queerness.
