The Bone Gate (Book 2 of 3 in the Lesser Known Monsters Series) eBook edition

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.

Praise for the Lesser Known Monsters series

“Dreamy prose, fully realised characters I couldn’t help but fall in love with, and a storyline that is both thrilling and tender.”—Jonny Garza Villa, author of Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun

“Good twists, good monsters, and all the heart of a true found family.”—David Slayton, author of White Trash Warlock

“A wonderfully queer, riveting, and heartfelt found family adventure that shows even the most average person can save the world...or end it.”—Jayme Bean, author of Untouched
