Carapace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798289954015)

Relationships shouldn't be this hard.

Our narrator lives a pretty decent life.

He has a job mining for a mysterious toxic substance used in the nation's #1 haircare product, parents who call him multiple times a week toward whom he feels an unyielding sense of obligation, and a two-bedroom apartment with his high school sweetheart Alyssa.

But one day, she reveals to him her dream: undergoing surgery to become a creature.

Although he isn't sure what that means, he is deeply supportive of her like always, and his devotion to her happiness above everything else soon starts to unravel his entire existence, which might be more fragile than he ever realized.

A darkly comedic satirical body horror for fans of The Substance.
