The Bone Gate (Paperback or Softback)

New beginnings don't mean happy endings...

More than a year has passed since Oscar's friends stopped him from ending the world as we know it. Life is settling back to a new normal, and everyone is finally able to take a breath. The group are preparing to embrace the tedium of day jobs and current affairs, but must first deal with a little unfinished family business and some surprise house guests...oh, and a creature born from darkness hell-bent on destroying reality and everyone in it. Well, that didn't last long, did it?

The LESSER KNOWN MONSTERS series is a dark queer fantasy featuring diverse characters on a found family adventure. Perfect for fans of horror and paranormal romance who seek LGBTQ+ heroes.
