Keep Your Hennies Close and Your Henemies Closer.

One pageant, one winner, and one Queen hell-bent on snatching that crown by any means necessary. Gamble Donna Phart is a fishy little drag queen aiming to make a splash in a pool of tenacious, bloodthirsty sharks. Despite that, she’s determined to shake up the food chain at the upcoming Trick’d & Treated pageant. So when a fierce, masked killer starts slaying the competition one by one, it’s every hunty for herself. Luck be a lady-killer tonight, for there can be only one Queen.

Here’s what the horror community is saying about this drag homage to giallo:

“Plenty of great kills, a fun story, and some truly great humor. The premise of this took a familiar trope and made it something truly unique. I can't wait for more from the author, if this debut is any indication, Phrique is going to be around for a long time.” -John Lynch, author of The Warrior Retreat.

“As a die-hard fan of all things drag, I can honestly say that GOTD absolutely slayed! This book had me gagging with its sharp wit and sass. It was bloodier than a menstruating vampire’s midnight snack and had more easter-eggs than the Easter Bunny himself could handle.” -Rowland Bercy Jr., author of Unbortion.

Dreams are but our brains reflecting what they have seen, experienced, and imagined. These images can be distorted, reversed, warped, and deformed into something terrifying. Delve into stories born from nightmares and contorted into journeys dark and fearsome, the corrupt dreams of a darkened mind.

Monsters walk this world. All kinds of monsters.

Titus Talbot is one of them. A werewolf by birth, Titus has used his monstrous powers for good as a member of the Indestructibles, a team of young heroes who have faced everything from sentient hurricanes to living plagues.

But Titus has always been the outsider in the group. They're his friends and allies, yes, but he also feels the call of the wild, his feral, vulpine nature demanding to be set free. And so, sometimes, he'll take his leave of the team to let his inner predator out.

But what happens when the predator becomes prey? Titus encounters a very different monster from himself, on the run from the mortal hunters stalking her. She pulls Titus into a violent conflict, mankind against creature of the night, with no way of knowing who is right and who is wrong.

Will TItus help save his fellow monster? And what can she teach him about the life he has ahead of him as a werewolf?
