The Poison Fruits

by Em Haeger

One minute Izzy, the lead singer of the Poison Fruits, is full of the adrenaline rush of playing with her band, even if it is in a dive bar out in the cornfields, and the next she is frozen in shock when she stumbles on a terrifying death. Now, she is on the verge of losing her band and any hopes of friendship with her ex-girlfriend. Within days, Izzy is fighting for her own mental well-being while questioning whether she’s merely haunted by what happened or haunted by the malevolent force that caused it. An unlikely ally and the promise of a new found family appear, if Izzy can drop her mask of strength and accept help. In order to survive, she might have no other choice.

This queer horror romance stars an autistic, lesbian lead and features a tender coming out for a trans woman main character. It is suggested for those over the age of 18 and features brief descriptions of violence.
