Drool, Charlie Fox

Drool is a girl-meets-wolf love story in which teenage misfit Zoe meets Wolfie, a dreamy hooligan dealing with Lupine Mutation Syndrome. Their hedonistic courtship takes us on a wild adventure through a warped version of contemporary London, full of strange bodies, bad dreams and ghosts.

And of course the young lovers are soon in all kinds of trouble. The flames are getting higher and higher, and sirens are coming in the wake of the wolf howls.

Drool is a body horror fable about trauma and transformation, lusciously romantic, wickedly funny, and told in swaggering neon prose, a ‘Red Riding Hood’ retold as Romeo and Juliet, a hymn to the joys and terrors of being bad from one of the slyest narrators of recent fiction.
