Festering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. A fresh start. It's an offer that none refuse.Crane is grateful. Among his hive's followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won't destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant-and the hive demands the child's birth, no matter the cost-Crane's desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood.

Andrew Joseph White is a queer, trans, New York Times bestselling author from Virginia, where he grew up falling in love with monsters and wishing he could be one too. Though he is happy with the results of hormone replacement therapy, he still considers a worm-riddled infestation corpse to be "transition goals," so it's probably for the best that he hasn't stumbled across a hive yet. He posts @AJWhiteAuthor.

Praise for You Weren't Meant to be Human:"One the most talented, subversive and important voices in horror right now. This book is absolutely not for the faint of heart, but I can’t recommend it highly enough."—Grimdark Magazine"A tenderly beating, bloody heart of a novel. Relentlessly bleak and harrowing, White's brutal adult debut also somehow manages to be deeply, devastatingly empathetic." -Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hide and Lucy Undying"Gruesome and unrelenting, Andrew Joseph White's adult debut is a masterpiece of horror. White dares you to accept Crane's humanity when all the veneers of politeness are stripped away, capturing the intersection of the alienation of neurodivergence and the pain of dysphoria with unflinching honesty." --K. M. Enright, Sunday Times Bestselling author of Mistress of Lies"You Weren't Meant to be Human is dysphoria bound into words. Andrew Joseph White captures a beautifully disgusting world that's all too familiar to neurodivergent and trans individuals, with a plot that offers nothing but shocking pleasure with each page turn." -Linden Lewis, author of The First Sister"White wields prose like a scalpel, cutting deep and spilling guts with gruesome precision." -Kirkus Reviews"White's latest is a stunning testament to the intertwining realities of politics and queerness." -Publishers Weekly"Andrew Joseph White continues to deliver sharp, compelling writing...There hasn't been a novel from White that I haven't loved." -The Southern Bookseller ReviewPraise for the author:"A long, sustained scream to the various strains of anti-transgender legislation multiplying around the world like, well, a virus." -The New York Times"A defining voice of our generation." -H.E. Edgmon, author of Godly Heathens and Merciless Saviors"White wields prose like a scalpel, cutting deep and spilling guts with gruesome precision... Visceral and vindicating." -Kirkus Reviews
