Boyfriend Material
A chilling look at love engineered by a boy who feels nothing.
The narrative centers on a teenage male who lacks natural emotional responses to romance. He compensates by studying a specific girl and modeling his behavior to match her desires. This approach turns dating into a series of solved problems rather than organic interactions. The tension arises from the gap between his performed affection and his internal void. Readers witness the gradual erosion of authenticity as he prioritizes perfection over truth. The story questions whether love can exist without feeling, or if it is merely a performance we agree to uphold.
Published in late 2025 by Sunny Bast, this work sits within contemporary horror and supernatural fiction. It appeals to American readers seeking dark, psychological narratives that challenge traditional romance tropes through a lens of unsettling realism and behavioral analysis.
