About this listen

Death is neither the beginning nor the end for the children of Bridlington in this debut trans YA horror book for fans of Rory Power and Danielle Vega.

Chuck Warren died tragically at the old abandoned mill, but Paz Espino knows it was no accident—there's a monster under the town, and she's determined to kill it before anyone else gets hurt. She'll need the help of her crew—inseparable friends, bound by a childhood pact stronger than diamonds, distance or death—to hunt it down. But she's up against a greater force of evil than she ever could have imagined.

With shifting timeframes and multiple perspectives, Lockjaw is a small-town ghost story, where monsters living and dead haunt the streets, the homes and the minds of the inhabitants. For fans of Wilder Girls and The Haunted, this trans YA horror book by an incredible debut author will grab you and never let you go.

PRAISE FOR Lockjaw:

"Astoundingly smart, amazingly queer, and so gut-churningly stressful that the pages of your copy will end up dented. Lockjaw is small-town horror at its absolute finest, and it's going to shake you up." —Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Hell Followed With Us and The Spirit Bears its Teeth

"This YA novel will satisfy teen and nostalgic adult readers of horror and mystery." —Vikki VanSickle, author of The Lightning Circle

"Cerilli delivers a stunning debut in this gripping paranormal horror novel about queer teens growing up in a community that doesn’t accept them and the insidious danger of apathy." —STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly

"A horrifyingly honest tale with a hopeful ending, this engrossing novel is sure to get hearts racing and leave readers reflecting upon their own place in their communities." —STARRED REVIEW, BookPage

Ok, seriously, this book was incredible. The whole while it seemed like something wasn’t quite shared, and once it all clicks into place, it does it seamlessly. As a trans person, there were parts of this book that cut deep. As a minority, there were parts of this that resonated. As a dog lover, there were parts of this that destroyed. I definitely cannot wait to get more of Matteo L. Cerilli! What an incredible debut!

Ugh, heartbreaking and powerful.
