Description
Hugo doesn't know happiness, he thinks. He knows the relief of telling his Mum he is a boy, and he knows the comfort of hanging out in the woods. Until he meets COUM, Club of Unsolved Mysteries, a fake-literary club that actually hunts monsters, and where maybe he can finally do something that matters. Hugo just isn't sure how to tell them he is a half-demon himself. And how he is probably becoming obsessed with another demon, Fran, whom he met by chance and now seems to be obsessed with him too. "There is no way I am a bad person. There is no way I'm selfish, and odd. Because I try not to be, and I think that should be enough. But as I look at my fangs, and as I gaze at my green horns, I can't help but think we are all born monsters." A tale of friendship, acceptance and facing the unpredictable, told through the eyes of a boy who never truly belonged.
