"A beautiful monster story with a heart, Wiswell treats his outcasts as heroes. He is an author the world desperately needs ." --J.R. Dawson, author of The First Bright Thing " Someone You Can Build a Nest In is charming, horrifying, sweet, and funny--everything I could have wanted from John Wiswell's debut novel and more! With the perfect blend of humor and darkness, it's a wholly fresh take on a monster story ." --A.C. Wise, author of Hooked " Someone You Can Build a Nest In is the future of fantasy: a fairy tale with boundaries, an imaginative world created in the shape of collective values rather than the boring old id, a portal to a place you've really never seen before instead of just a princess in a different outfit. This novel is going to change the entire genre ." --Meg Elison, Hugo and Locus award-winning author of The Book of the Unnamed Midwife Praise for John Wiswell: "Refreshing to read about heroes who aren't invincible.... D.I.Y. made me yearn for more ." --Long and Short Reviews "Just the right amount of creepiness and wistfulness combined ." --Science Fiction Short Story Reviews "Give me more warm-hearted stories about homes in search of a family , things who communicate their love in the only ways they have, and parents whose hearts go supernova and break at the same time as they watch their children." --nerds of a feather, flock together "Wiswell takes us on a technology-filled exploration of the nature of love. Alternately sweet, scientific, and sad, this story is an exquisite orchestration of emotions that never becomes sappy or trite ." --SFF Reviews, "A beautiful monster story with a heart, Wiswell treats his outcasts as heroes.

It's monstrously fun!" --Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger and A Thousand Recipes For Revenge " The coziest, most unexpectedly wholesome love story about a monster who devours humans and wears their bones that I've ever read!" --Naomi Kritzer, Hugo Award-winning author of Catfishing on CatNet Praise for John Wiswell: "Refreshing to read about heroes who aren't invincible.... D.I.Y. made me yearn for more ." --Long and Short Reviews "Just the right amount of creepiness and wistfulness combined ." --Science Fiction Short Story Reviews "Give me more warm-hearted stories about homes in search of a family , things who communicate their love in the only ways they have, and parents whose hearts go supernova and break at the same time as they watch their children." --nerds of a feather, flock together "Wiswell takes us on a technology-filled exploration of the nature of love.

Synopsis

Nebula Award Winner! Hugo Award Nominee Locus Award Nominee An NPR, Washington Post , Book Riot, Library Journal and Audible Best Book of 2024! "This unusual queer romance is a heartfelt fable about disability and the possibility of reconciling conflicting needs through love and understanding." -- The Guardian " Sweetly furious, darkly funny, and gruesomely wholesome . It's a love story for the unloved, a happily-ever-after with a higher-than-average body count. I just adored it." --Alix E. Harrow, New York Times -bestselling author of Starling House Shesheshen has made a mistake fatal to all monsters: she's fallen in love. Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. Badly hurt by the hunters, Shesheshen's nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen's eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn't an option. Just as Shesheshen's about to confess her identity, Homily reveals something else: she's hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere? Shesheshen didn't curse anyone, so now she has to figure out why Homily's twisted family thinks she did. As Shesheshen's hunt for the monster becomes increasingly deadly, the bigger challenge remains: learning how to build a life with , rather than in , the woman she loves. " A stealthily funny, slyly smart, and remarkably touching story . Its wisdom will creep up on you as surely as your affection for its monstrous main character."--Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of When Among Crows, **Nebula Award Nominee** **Hugo Award Nominee** An NPR, Washington Post , Book Riot, Library Journal and Audible Best Book of 2024!
