The story of a boy who dreamed of becoming a man... But dreamed up a monster insteadYou're on the run. Marked. Don't think about the kid you used to be when you're homeless and dumpster-diving in the rain. Just eat whatever you find to keep your engine full. Because the shadow with too many teeth wants you tired. You're easier to catch when you're tired. It has hunted you since the summer of 1994, back when we confessed who we were through mixtapes. When every movie at the video store had dirty heads. You were thirteen and thought you knew who you were. Only the shadow with too many teeth knew you better. It still does. And it won't stop. Not until you come home. Back to where it all began. Part cosmic horror, part coming-of-age monster story, DIRTY HEADS is a terrifying read from the author of HOUSE OF SIGHS, THE FALLEN BOYS, and A PLACE FOR SINNERS

"i adore this novel. not only does it explore religious trauma in the midst of queer identity, but it delves into the panic behind the AIDS crisis and the hysteria of Y2K. the central boy is flawed, yet relatable, giving the slowly-unveiled conflict that much more of an impact. his monster—and his wish to take on the tribulations of adulthood—is truly a sight to behold, a patchwork amalgamation of repeated imagery and broken memories. it leaves you thinking… maybe we will be okay."
