Tsubaki Koton, feared as the delinquent “monster” of his high school, has been stabbed by a familiar student with a grudge. With no time to treat his injuries, he runs off in search of his ghostly savior, Kabuto, who he fears will lose consciousness if he leaves his side for too long. Luckily, Tsubaki finds him in the alley where they first met and soon gets himself patched up. But as the two grow closer together, the loyal Kabuto—whose status as unfortunately dead isolates him from the world around him—yearns for his handsome friend’s touch. If only they knew a certain new transfer student in need of a little penance whose body is just compatible enough...

A monster who wants to be feared. A ghost who wants to be seen. A romance that will haunt your heart. A 2025 Chill Chill Award winner! A 2025 Chill Chill BL Award winner! Tsubaki Koton is a monster — a violent delinquent with a chilling past and a terrifying image to match. No other student dares to approach him, not even now he’s transferred to a new high school. His anti-heroic acts of selflessness end only in bloodshed and rumors that spiral out of control. But one night, he’s followed home by a stranger who sets out to change his life for good. This boy, stubborn and hauntingly beautiful, is the pure-hearted Kabuto Yuuki, with his stunning jewel-like eyes that see past Tsubaki’s fearsome charade. But although someone finally sees Tsubaki for who he truly is, Kabuto cannot be seen at all. After all, Kabuto is a ghost. “This volume was impossibly adorable. There was no way, honestly, to dislike his story about a “monster” with a heart of gold and the ghost who pushes him to interact more with the people around him, who gets a little jealous of him when he does. […] Super cute, go ahead and read it.” — Erica Friedman, Anime News Network

"If you want to prove yourself, then bleed for me." Diego refuses to see themselves as their society's monster. Since fleeing their hometown-and the high school sweetheart who spurned their fangs-a decade ago, they've found a new home with the staff of a sensual role play club that creates fantasies for vampire-human couples. Working as the temporary stand in for humans with no vampire of their own, impassioned romance now seems like a thing of the past. That is, until Diego's traitorous high school flame reappears in a storm of drama, claiming he's finally ready to earn their forgiveness-in whatever way Diego demands of him. The man now trying to woo them back isn't quite the one they remember; he's aggressively forthright, persistently self-sacrificing, and strong in ways Diego could never have fathomed. But his sudden re-emergence comes just as the club is under threat, and any good thing might just be too good to be true. Explore the wider world of the Guides for Dating Vampires series with this standalone novella set in Los Angles in the 90s, where a fiery sub/dom second chance romance blooms between the transmasc-NB/M couple. * THIS DISCREET PAPERBACK COVER WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN ILLUSTRATED CHARACTER COVER ~SIX MONTHS AFTER PUBLICATION.

Sparks fly in this hilarious grumpy/grumpy romance, packed with Dade’s signature body positivity and a delicious amount of spice. Karl and Molly were never together.

Ronan Wentz has been to hell and back, and he carries the scars to prove it. Worse, the blood of a monster runs through his veins. When his uncle gives him a roof over his head after ten years in foster care, Ronan uses this second chance to become a vigilante, walking the streets of Santa Cruz to keep the nightmares at bay.

My Friend Dahmer is the hauntingly original graphic novel by Derf Backderf, the award winning political cartoonist. In these pages, Backderf tries to make sense of Jeffery Dahmer, the future serial killer with whom he shared classrooms, hallways, libraries and car rides. What emerges is a surprisingly sympathetic portrait of a young man struggling helplessly against the urges, some ghastly, bubbling up from the deep recesses of his psyche. The Dahmer recounted here, although universally regarded as an inhumane monster, is a lonely oddball who, in reality, is all too human. A shy kid sucked inexorably into madness while the adults in his life fail him. The crimes Dahmer committed are incredibly depraved, infamous and unforgettable, but in My Friend Dahmer, Backderf provides profound insight into how, and more important, why Jeffery Dahmer transformed from a high school loner into the most depraved serial killer since Jack the Ripper, coming as close as anyone yet has to explaining the seemingly unexplainable phenomenon of Jeffery Dahmer.

WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2010 ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD Eva never really wanted to be a mother; certainly not the mother of a boy named Kevin who murdered seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker and a teacher who had tried to befriend him. Now, two years after her son's horrific rampage, Eva comes to terms with her role as Kevin's mother in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her absent husband Franklyn about their son's upbringing. Fearing that her own shortcomings may have shaped what her son has become, she confesses to a deep, long-standing ambivalence about motherhood. How much is her fault? In Lionel Shriver's hands this sensational, chilling and memorable story of a woman who raised a monster becomes a metaphor for the larger tragedy - the tragedy of a country where everything works, nobody starves, and anything can be bought but a sense of purpose.

In der Post-Apokalypse nimmst du, was du bekommen kannst: "Eine Pflichtlektüre und wesentliche Ergänzung zum Zombie-Kanon" von dem Bestsellerautor der New York Times. Es ist fast ein Jahrzehnt vergangen seit Z-Day, als eine Plage Menschen in die gefrässigen Untoten verwandelte. Einst ein Biologielehrer an einer High School, arbeitet Jory Gray jetzt an einem Fliessband und stellt genetisch modifizierte Handler her – die einzigen Wesen, die die Zombies kontrollieren können. Es gibt nicht viel, wofür es sich zu leben lohnt, also als die Frau, die er liebt, ihn für das Versprechen der Kirche von Z verlässt, hat Gray nichts mehr zu verlieren. Oder so denkt er. Als Gray von seiner Position in der Fabrik degradiert wird, wird er wirklich entbehrlich und wird hinausgeschickt, um die Infizierten mit einem Brenner zu bearbeiten. Ein auswegsloser Job, wenn es je einen gab. Während Gray kämpft, menschlich zu bleiben in einer Welt, die ihn zu einem Monster machen will, kämpfen Militär und Kirche um die Zukunft der Menschheit und benutzen Überlebende als Schachfiguren in einem Höllenleben, in dem Zombies die geringste der zu fürchtenden Kreaturen sind. "Fesselnde Momente des Horrors werden meisterhaft dargestellt, blitzartige, treffende Komik sorgt für Tiefe und Leichtigkeit, und die flackernde Menschlichkeit der Charaktere wird bei den Lesern stark resonieren." "Nicht einfach ein weiteres Zombie-Buch. Es ist tatsächlich eine Erzählung über zerbrochene Dinge: Gesellschaft, Autorität, Gemeinschaft, Individualität, Institutionen, Leben, sogar Hoffnung. Und am Ende gibt es das überwältigende Gefühl, dass auf den tiefsten Ebenen etwas repariert wurde." "Das beste Zombie-Buch, das du jemals in deinem Leben lesen wirst.".
