Prom night, romance, and a world coming apart

Jack has kept his distance from Greg, the popular classmate whose attention has always felt complicated. A near-kiss at prom gives Jack reason to imagine a different kind of connection—until the celebration turns violent and the world begins to unravel. As strange changes take hold, the story brings queer romance into a horror-comedy setup, pairing high-school tensions with an apocalyptic crisis. This is the opening volume of the Better Off Fed series, with Jack’s changing body and the question of survival at the center of its premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in queer, gay romance in a high-school setting.
  • Readers who enjoy horror-comedy that combines romance with an apocalyptic crisis.
  • Those looking for the first volume of a queer horror-comedy series.

Book overview

Prom night shouldn't end in heartbreak, humiliation... or whatever this is.

 

Jack has survived high school by staying quiet, staying low, and staying invisible, especially around Greg, the golden boy who's always been too close for comfort.

 

So when Greg pulls him into the shadows at prom and something almost happens, Jack dares to believe this night might change everything.

 

Then the music shifts, the crowd turns feral, and the world tears itself apart.

 

Now, with secrets clawing their way under his skin, Jack has to figure out what he's becoming and whether he can hold on long enough to survive it.

 

Darkly funny, bloody, and unexpectedly tender, Brain Dead Gorgeous is the first volume in Better Off Fed, a queer horror-comedy series where falling in love might be scarier than the apocalypse.
