Alison is like the twisted daughter of Clive Barker and Shirley Jackson. Joe Hill, New York Times bestselling author on Tell Me I''m Worthless
When a transphobic woman bombs Frankies workplace, she blows up Frankies life with it. As the media descends like vultures, Frankie tries to cope with the carnage: binge-drinking, sleeping with strangers, pushing away her friends. Then, she meets Vanya. Mysterious, beautiful, terrifying Vanya.
The two hit it off immediately, but as their relationship intensifies, so too does Frankies feeling that Vanya is hiding something from her. When Vanyas secrets threaten to tear them apart, Frankie starts digging, and unearths a sinister, depraved conspiracy, the roots of which go deeper than she ever imagined.
Shocking, grotesque, and downright filthy, Brainwyrms confronts the creeping reality of political terrorism while exploring the depths of love, pain, and identity.
