Un relato transexual en el Japón antiguo. La insólita historia del siglo XII que fascinó al premio Nobel Yasunari Kawabata. Sadaijin, un alto cargo de la Corte Imperial, es padre de un hijo y una hija, ambos hermosos como joyas radiantes y tan parecidos como dos gotas de agua. Nacidos bajo los mejores auspicios, los pequeños tienen ante sí un futuro él como cortesano y ella como concubina del emperador. Mas los sueños Sadaijin se esfuman a medida que los niños crecen y muestran una inclinación natural a comportarse como el sexo él es tímido y sensible, mientras que ella es decidida y audaz. Como sus esfuerzos para reconducir la situación resultan inútiles, Sadaijin decide criar a sus hijos según sus tendencias naturales y los presenta en sociedad con los géneros intercambiados. A partir de ese momento, y para su sorpresa, asiste complacido al meteórico éxito social de los dos hermanos. Insólito y divertido, este monogatari del siglo XII permaneció silenciado durante siglos por ser considerado obsceno e inmoral y por su carácter desafiante hacia los roles de género imperantes. Redescubierta en 1968 gracias a la mirada desprejuiciada del premio Nobel Yasunari Kawabata, quien supo apreciar su incalculable valor literario y su dimensión netamente moderna.

As alluring as it is unsettling, award-winning author CG Drews' debut YA psychological horror will leave readers breathless and hesitant to venture deeper into the woods. Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him. High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for the only person who can ground him to reality—Thomas Rye, the boy with perpetually ink-stained hands and hair like autumn leaves. And with his twin sister, Dove, inexplicably keeping him at a cold distance upon their return to Wickwood Academy, Andrew finds himself leaning on his friend even more. But something strange is going on with Thomas. His abusive parents have mysteriously vanished, and he arrives at school with blood on his sleeve. Thomas won't say a word about it, and shuts down whenever Andrew tries to ask him questions. Stranger still, Thomas is haunted by something, and he seems to have lost interest in his artwork—whimsically macabre sketches of the monsters from Andrew's wicked stories. Desperate to figure out what's wrong with his friend, Andrew follows Thomas into the off-limits forest one night and catches him fighting a nightmarish monster—Thomas's drawings have come to life and are killing anyone close to him. To make sure no one else dies, the boys battle the monsters every night. But as their obsession with each other grows stronger, so do the monsters, and Andrew begins to fear that the only way to stop the creatures might be to destroy their creator...
