Against The Lockers is queer splatter punk and a story of revenge with a love story mixed in. Do not take the warnings lightly.

Check the trigger warnings on this one! Coming in at 72 pages, this novella will anger you, upset you and gross you out! It is not meant for people who are easily offended or upset. As someone who reads a lot of splatterpunk and extreme horror, there were moments in this that had me cringing, so 👏🏻 for that. Remember: support indie authors! Support LGTBQ+ authors!

After being tormented and publicly assaulted Colin tries to get help, but when neither the Dean of his college, or the police will do anything he takes matters into his own hands. I love when victims avenge themselves, and take their power back. As is unfortunately really common everyone who was supposed to help was expecting Colin to be a perfect victim but that doesn’t exist in fiction, or in real life. After deciding he would no longer take on the consequences of actions that weren’t his he takes it into his own hands to make sure he gets justice. The author handles trauma in a way that is respectful to this really serious topic while also making a great splatterpunk. It’s a quick, intriguing read!
