Beskrivning
Festering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. A fresh start. It’s an offer that none refuse.Crane is grateful. Among his hive’s followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won’t destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant—and the hive demands the child’s birth, no matter the cost—Crane’s desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood.You Weren’t Meant to Be Human is a deeply personal horror; a visceral statement about the lives of marginalized people in a hostile world, echoing the works of Stephen Graham Jones and Eric LaRocca.

Mer om författaren

Andrew Joseph White is a queer, trans, New York Times bestselling author from Virginia, where he grew up falling in love with monsters and wishing he could be one too. Though he is happy with the results of hormone replacement therapy, he still considers a worm-riddled Infestation corpse to be “transition goals,” so it's probably for the best that he hasn't stumbled across a hive yet. He posts @AJWhiteAuthor.

Recensioner i media

“White’s adult debut encapsulates the best of the modern horror genre.” ― Booklist, starred review“[A] brilliant, page-turning piece of trans splatterpunk body horror and an earnest, heart-rending tragedy. White should win a whole new set of fans with this.” ― Publishers Weekly, starred review"A tenderly beating, bloody heart of a novel. Relentlessly bleak and harrowing, White's brutal adult debut also somehow manages to be deeply, devastatingly empathetic." — Kiersten White, author of Lucy, Undying“You Weren't Meant to be Human is dysphoria bound into words. Andrew Joseph White captures a beautifully disgusting world that’s all too familiar to neurodivergent and trans individuals, with a plot that offers nothing but shocking pleasure with each page turn.” — Linden Lewis, author of The First Sister"This is one of those deeply disturbing books that I adore and abhor in equal measure, and I think that is exactly what makes it such a masterpiece.” ― Grimdark Magazine"Gruesome and unrelenting, Andrew Joseph White’s adult debut is a masterpiece of horror. White dares you to accept Crane's humanity when all the veneers of politeness are stripped away, capturing the intersection of the alienation of neurodivergence and the pain of dysphoria with unflinching honesty." — K. M. Enright, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mistress of Lies
