A Feast of Putrid Delights

NOW AVAILABLE

Ever since surviving the attack on a local queer nightclub, Antonia’s life has unraveled. She can’t sleep, she can’t think, and she certainly can’t focus on the new restaurant she and her friends recently opened together in New York. The only solace comes in the form of a new experimental street drug called Cloud, gifted to her by a mysterious stranger with a peculiar lifestyle. Chronic insomnia miraculously cured, Chef Antonia finds herself consumed by a singular obsession: crafting the perfect dish, one purified from all the rot of the universe. But perfection has a price-and Antonia is running out of time to pay it back...

Praise for the Book

"This book totally hooked me. Antonia’s dealing with some heavy stuff after surviving a brutal attack, and her struggle to find peace is really real. The drug Cloud adds a wild twist that makes the story feel both eerie and intense. Her obsession with making the perfect dish shows how trauma can take over your life in unexpected ways. If you’re into dark, emotional stories with a bit of surreal flair, this one’s a must-read."
