Hailey Piper, a Bram Stoker Award winner known for Queen of Teeth, presents Teenage Girls Can Be Demons. This collection gathers thirteen stories that examine the violent and strange aspects of growing up. The narratives transform difficult years of personal change into terrifying scenarios where monsters are real and survival requires extreme measures.

Readers encounter The Long Flesh of the Law, featuring a girl hunted by a bizarre cop, and the acclaimed novella Benny Rose, the Cannibal King. This final story depicts a Halloween prank gone wrong when a murderous ghost leaves an urban legend for the real world. These works appeal to fans of Clive Barker, Mariana Enriquez, and Eric LaRocca. The collection suits those who enjoy wildly inventive and brilliantly imaginative fiction that twists coming-of-age tropes into new shapes.
