Prepare to die. His kingdom is near.

Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him

the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world's population. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can't get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with.

But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC's leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji's darkest secret: the cult's bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all.

Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong, Benji accepts Nick's terms...until he discovers the ALC's mysterious leader has a hidden agenda, and more than a few secrets of his own.

Reviews for Hell Followed With Us

A long, sustained scream to the various strains of anti-transgender legislation multiplying around the world like, well, a virus. – The New York Times; A defining voice of our generation. – H.E. Edgmon, author of Godly Heathens; Gloriously dark and immersive, Hell Followed with Us cuts straight to the core. With its endearing cast, detailed worldbuilding, and breathtaking horror, this novel kept me at the edge of my seat. Hands down the best YA horror book I’ve read. ­– Aden Polydoros, author of The City Beautiful ; A chimera of horror, romance, and something stranger. – Rose Szabo, author of What Big Teeth ; A timely and riveting tale. – Ray Stoeve, author of Between Perfect and Real ; This cinematically gory apocalyptic horror not only delivers high stakes, fast-paced action, and fraught romantic drama, it engages critically with the intertwining impacts of colonialism, capitalism, and White supremacy … A gloriously ferocious and scorching blaze. – Kirkus, Starred Review; [An] astounding and exhilarating debut. … This fast-paced adventure is chaotic in the best way, featuring diverse and relatable characters that readers will fall in love with, despite their flaws, and a heartrending love story that reminds us that humanity seeks comfort even in the most painful of times. – Booklist, Starred Review; Using evocative and visceral language, compact storytelling, and inventive worldbuilding, White delivers a transformative depiction of apocalypse through a queer lens. This debut is a moving and timely tale of queer perseverance, offering hope for those fighting for the right to exist without apology. – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
