Waxing Off

"Waxing Off is a fresh, engaging new take on the werewolf mythos, expertly probing themes about gender and loneliness while still making sure the reader enjoys a satisfying, bloody romp. Fans of Gretchen Felker-Martin and Chuck Tingle will find a lot to love here. E.E.W Christman is an exciting new voice in the queer horror space whose future work I'm definitely looking forward to!" 

-Liz Kerin, author of the Night's Edge Duology and The Phantom Forest

"Waxing Off really does have it all: heart-pounding adventure, a love story you can't help but root for, and a nuanced exploration of transphobia through a supernatural lens. I found myself yanked into the quaint fishing town of Cat's Cove thanks to Christman's deft prose and sharp characterization. For those craving a fresh take on werewolves, you will find it in Waxing Off!"

-K.L. Cerra, author of Such Pretty Flowers and Under Her Spell

"Waxing Off is a beautiful and brutal story of survival, as well as the deep human need to feel seen and accepted. The use of werewolves not only incorporates horror but also powerfully reflects a range of queer experiences. This is an important, biting book."

-Claire L. Smith, author of Helena and Agnes and Cat

"What a time to be a horror reader! Christman's take on werewolves is refreshing and delectable. I loved the interconnection between real life transphobia and fictional werewolf lore. You'll be hooked from the beginning and craving more from the author when you finish."

- Brianna Malotke, author of Fashion Trends, Deadly Ends and Death is a Tease

"Waxing Off is the love story that I didn't know I needed! E.E.W. Christman masterfully blends horror and romance while highlighting the detrimental views of TERFs and policing identity. This novella is uncomfortable and grotesque, yet a delightful romp in young love that you will not soon forget."

-Kiersten Walmsley, author and book critic
