Jules is a trans man trapped in his life as a nun. The devil that the convent guards against offers him a deal to escape: an illicit tryst and lifelong possession. Jules takes the deal, and begins his new life as a criminal who’s impervious to harm. He soon meets Casper, another trans man and a poetic thief, and together they steal, lie, and cheat their way through bewildering adventures, and develop feelings for each other along the way. But as Jules and Casper’s relationship deepens, so does the devil’s jealous grasp…

A rhapsody for gay trans men, gorgeously illustrated, forged into something that feels so wonderfully intimate that you can’t stop from reading it cover to cover.

I mean it when I say that this is by leagues and bounds the most beautiful book I own now. From its striking gold foil cover to the surrealist panels waiting underneath, it’s a firework compressed into paper.

Jules and Casper are wonderful characters, and their nonsensical world of medieval tapestries, IPhones, and pillow talk about the Michelin Man make them feel like friends you’ve known or lovers you’ve had.
