A Dark LGBTQ+ Young Adult Shapeshifter Horror
of Friendship, Secrets, and Survival.
They’re just five teenage boys… who turn into rats. And the world wants to kill them for it.
Alex, Ben, Charlie, Dave, and Ethan are best friends, bonded by loyalty, secrets, and the ability to shift into rats. Protected by Dean, a powerful and mysterious vampire-shapeshifter who rules their supernatural community in Houston, the boys skate through life as normally as they can… until something ancient begins to awaken beneath the city.
Strange disappearances. Whispers of a monster older than blood. And the golden pulse of a predator that leaves no scent.
As secrets unravel and terror spreads, the boys must navigate homophobic bullies, broken families, and their forbidden feelings for each other—all while uncovering a buried horror that may be tied to Dean’s violent, tragic past.
Because something is coming. It’s hunting shifters. And Alex might be the key to letting it in.
A genre-bending LGBTQ+ horror fantasy about shapeshifting teens, found family, and the terrifying price of legacy.
“It’s not just their secret that could kill them. It’s the truth about where they come from.”
The Shifter Boys: Beneath the Fang is a bold, genre-bending YA paranormal horror full of queer identity, supernatural lore, dark secrets, and the terrifying beauty of becoming something more than human.
Perfect for fans of The Raven Cycle, The Witch King, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, this is the explosive first book in a bold new series blending horror, myth, and queer coming-of-age with blood-soaked bite.
