An LGBTQ+ horror-hero coming-of-age story, that’s Invincible meets Doom Patrol!
Meet teenage mad scientist Christopher Chaos. For all his life he knew he was different. His brilliant mind works in ways that defy logic and enable him to do things that push him beyond his peers. Unfortunately, these abilities have also caused great pain in his personal life—leading others to fear him and leaving Christopher with profound loneliness and guilt. Then one day something cracked. When the cute boy at high school turns out to be a deadly creature, Christopher finds himself in a world of monsters, heroes, and a cult of hunters out to kill them all.
As Christopher discovers the history of Monsterkind, he learns isn’t so alone in the world after all. As he makes friends and enemies, he uncovers secrets that lead him deeper into his own unknown past…secrets that keep the mad scientist inside of him questioning everything around him!
