About this listen

The deliciously dark and dangerously addictive New York Times bestseller, from the author of the sensational The Boy Who Steals Houses. Wilder Girls meets A Deadly Education in this queer dark academia YA horror, filled with twisted fairy tales and monsters that will keep you up at night.

'No one would want a heart like his. But he'd still cut it out and given it away.'

On the first day back at boarding school, Andrew can't wait to find refuge in the twisted fairy tales that he writes for Thomas - the boy with hair like autumn leaves.

But Thomas' parents have vanished, and he has blood on his sleeve. Stranger still, Thomas won't talk to Andrew, even though he's always loved sketching the monstrous creatures from Andrew's stories.

Desperate to discover the truth, Andrew follows Thomas into the forest and catches him fighting a nightmarish monster - his drawings have come to life.

To ensure no one else dies, the boys must battle the creatures every night. But as their obsession with each other grows stronger, so do the monsters, and Andrew fears the only way to stop them might be to destroy their creator.

Good book :-|

The book was good, 3.5 stars and the narration was really good except the main character is Australian and the narrator wasn’t very good at the accent :( it probably wouldn’t be a big deal if you aren’t Australian or super familiar with the accent but for me it was pretty hard to get past.
Still, not a deal breaker and it was a thoroughly enjoyable book and the Narrator was for the most part really great!
