ABOUT THE BOOK

"Waxing Off is a fresh, engaging new take on the werewolf mythos, expertly probing themes about gender and loneliness while still making sure the reader enjoys a satisfying, bloody romp. Fans of Gretchen Felker-Martin and Chuck Tingle will find a lot to love here. E.E.W Christman is an exciting new voice in the queer horror space whose future work I'm definitely looking forward to!"

-Liz Kerin, author of the Night's Edge Duology and The Phantom Forest

Welcome to Cat's Cove

A struggling Pacific Northwest fishing town teeming with transphobes and werewolves... but not the ones you are thinking of.

Drew is a non-binary werewolf, but hardly by choice. Having made a home for themself working in a fish fry joint and trying to hide their secret, their heightened sense of smell leads them to Gab - a female werewolf who is about to change their life in more ways than one. Coming from a family that did nothing to make Drew feel comfortable in their own skin, their immediate connection with Gab is intimate and unexpected.

But a collective of TERFs lurks nearby, and an attack makes it clear that they would prefer it if Gab fell in line, and Drew simply ceased to exist. Little do they know what is coming for them.

Filled with ferocity, carnage, and the enduring power of queer love and acceptance, Waxing Off is a werewolf horror story with heart, and a testament to what it means to fight back, fight for yourself, and fight to exist.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E.E.W. (Izzy) Christman has been a freelance writer and editor for more than a decade. They earned their BA in Creative Writing and their MA in Creative Nonfiction from Ohio University, where they taught writing & rhetoric for two years. They moved back to the West Coast where they were functionally a “starving artist” for several years, taking odd writing gigs where they could while slinging coffee to pay the bills. They worked as a technical writer, ghostwriter, analyst, proofreader, and content writer. It wasn’t until Izzy started focusing on the kind of work they cared about that their side hustle started to grow into their primary job. They began teaching creative writing classes at Hugo House, volunteered as a First Reader for Strange Horizons magazine, and blogged for Seattle’s Gay City, a nonprofit focused on public health. Their love of speculative fiction led Izzy back to school in 2021. They began attending the University of Washington to earn their Certificate in Editing, which they completed in June 2022.

Their love of the written word can be traced back to high school: they won the Young Appalachian Writer’s Award in 2007 with their short fiction. Since then, Izzy’s writing has appeared in a number of magazines, anthologies, and podcasts, including The NoSleep Podcast, American Gothic Short Stories, and Unwinnable Magazine. They are an active member of the Horror Writers Association.

When they’re not working, Izzy likes sinking into a good fantasy novel, playing video games, and (of course) watching horror movies.
