Juno Dawson's Her Majesty's Royal Coven meets a Jim Jarmusch movie. 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. 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-mentor determined to take the mythological world by storm.
Tyler has got a plan, and weirdly his self-help punditry actually encourages Brian to shape up and to stop accidentally marking out guys who ghosted him on Grindr as potential monthly victims. But as Brian gets closer to Tyler's pack, and alienated from Nik and Darby, he realizes 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.

      Brian is in his twenties, and not living his best life, which translates to him not being a great person. In addition, he is a werewolf, and doesn't truly understand what that means. At his day job as a waiter, he runs into another werewolf, Tyler, who has a specific idea of how one should be a werewolf. Thanks to Tyler, Brian learns the importance of exercise and mantras to help him deal with his werewolf anger, which had led him to kill people in the past. Tyler is using Brian to launch a program for improving the lives of werewolves, including apps and social media. When Brian realizes the help that could be had from Tyler, he is pulled into Tyler's world. But the deeper he digs, the more Brian realizes that something might not be right with Tyler or his program. In this genre-blurring book, readers of horror, fans of werewolves, and readers looking for a different kind of antihero could find their next read.
