The Hazards of Love Vol. 1, Volume 1: Bright World, Stanley Stan

A noir fantasy -- part adventure, part love story, all the way spectacularly creepy. -- Kirkus Reviews (star review)

The Hazards of Love follows the story of a queer teen from Queens who makes some mistakes, gets dragged into a fantastical place, and tries to hustle their way back home.

Amparos deal with the talking cat was simple: a drop of blood and Amparos name to become a better person. Their mother and abuela would never worry about them again, and theyd finally be worthy of dating straight-A student Iolanthe. But when the cat steals their body, becoming the better person they were promised, Amparos spirit is imprisoned in a land of terrifying, flesh-hungry creatures known as Bright World.
