Bored gay werewolf

Brian, an aimless slacker, works doubles at his shift job, forgets to clean his room and lays about with his friends Nik and Darby. He's been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf. To save the world from another rich boy-boss, Brian’s going to need his friends, a steampunk crossbow, and to learn how to be comfortable in his own, shaggy, werewolf pelt ‘One of the best gay werewolf books I’ve ever read!’.

A directionless college-dropout deals with sexuality, minimum-wage jobs, lunar cycles, toxic masculinity and the everyday perils of life as a modern werewolf. Brian, an aimless slacker, works doubles at his shift job, forgets to clean his room and lays about with his friends Nik and Darby. Tony Santorella’s Bored Gay Werewolf is exactly what it promises—silly, chaotic, and incredibly fun, while also being surprisingly heartfelt and sharp in its satire.

This is the story of Brian - who has abandoned his college studies and escaped to a city to work in a bar/restaurant after being turned into a werewolf. His relationships are what make it interesting, and it’s something of a coming of age novel as he works out who means what to him. He's been struggling to manage his transition to adulthood almost as much as his monthly transitions to a werewolf.

Really, he is not great at the whole werewolf thing, and his recent murderous slip-ups have caught the attention of Tyler, a Millennial were-entrepreneur determined to explore exponential growth strategies in the mythological wellness market. Tyler has got a plan and he wants Brian to be part of it, and weirdly his brand of self-help punditry actually encourages Brian to shape up and to stop accidently marking out bad tippers at the restaurant as potential monthly victims.

But as Brian gets closer to Tyler's pack and drifts further away from Nik and Darby, he realises that Tyler's expansion plans are much more nefarious than a little lupine enlightenment Big-hearted, goofy, anarchic and funny, Bored Gay Werewolf is a smart take on the doomsday logic of late capitalism and the complicated meeting point of masculinity and sexuality. More than that, though, and like Scooby Doo with Grindr or Stranger Things with sex and ennui, it's a buddy novel about finding your pack, the power of friendship, and learning how to be comfortable in your own, shaggy werewolf pelt.

He moved to Washington, DC in , where he waited tables until beginning his decade-long career in international development.

He began writing his debut novel, Bored Gay Werewolf, to explore his fascination with the mystical from his hometown and the power and ambition of the capital through the acerbic irreverence of the service industry.
