‘Undercover’ is an adult fantasy short story about an undercover detective infiltrating a gang. The story has a bit of a horror vibe with creatures known as ghouls, undead humans that are cannibals. 

I really loved this plot, this was SO GOOD, definitely my favourite in the series so far and I think it’d be hard to top. I loved the characters, especially Lucille and Starr. Loved that it was sapphic as well! Also, the narration was soo good and the reveal at the end.. chefs kiss, I did not predict that! This was really fun. 

Rep - Sapphic (the Widower; Starr; Lucille)

TWs/CWs - Alcohol; Blood; Body Horror; Cussing; Death; Euthanasia; Gangs; Gore; Gun Violence; Imprisonment; Infection; Murder; Snake; Violence

If there's one thing I expect in Tamsyn's writing, it's queer characters and the undead.

It's a little gem with a twist ending.
