Fangs And All

Medium: Comic/Graphic Novel

Age Rating: YA
Status: Complete
Where to read: Coming soon!

Fangs and All is a YA graphic novel following Sam and Boots, as they visit Boots’s family for the first time in their relationship… and discover some monstrous secrets about them, and themselves.

This story was originally titled The Curse of Blackwood Manor, hence why some art and other posts may mention it by that name, and why I often just shorten this story’s title to “Blackwood.”

The story began around 2020-2021, originally as a prose novel but I decided to adapt it into a graphic novel instead. It currently is intended for publishing, and is set to release October 6, 2026! More info on that to come soon!

Fangs and All stars a young queer couple, Boots and Sam, as they take the next big step in their relationship–meeting the family! Unfortunately, in this case, it’s a family of literal monsters.

Can the two of them survive the weekend alive–and with their humanity intact?

Suitable for ages 12 and up!

It is currently available for preorder wherever books are sold!

Sam and Boots are relationship goals: stupidly cute, super supportive, and so in love. Of course, the natural next step is for Sam to join Boots for a weekend back home. So what if Boots says her family is a little weird and that they’d never expect her to bring a girlfriend home? Sam is sure she’ll win them over. Besides, meeting the parents is a big deal, but it’s not life or death, right?

Wrong! Because it turns out the Blackwoods aren’t just weird, they’re monsters—literally. Soon enough, Sam isn’t just dealing with the realization that her girlfriend is a vampire but also dodging a myriad of family members who can’t help but try to curse, hunt, drown, or eat her. And while Boots grapples with her own monstrous tendencies, Sam struggles to be supportive…while also staying alive. This not-so-perfect-after all couple will have to fight tooth and claw if they want to escape the weekend with their relationship and their humanity intact.
