A debut collection of surreal, skin-piercing stories about the boundless longing of queer Black women.

Skirting the chasms that lurk in our common notions of “girlhood”—and their heightened peril for queer women of color—Demree McGhee’s characters track the prints of their desire and pain to the edges of reality, finding refuge in unlikely places. Fighting self-loathing and societal abuse, they explore the bounds of their feral strength and ugliest truths, howling at the moon to be known.
