Overview
Sawkill Girls meets Twin Peaks in a page-turning queer supernatural thriller, where four teens must track down a local cryptid that’s feeding off secrets, before their own hidden truths are exposed. “Alex Crespo thrills with a meticulously crafted page-turner. A feast of twists, tension and secrets.” —C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise On the dreary Oregon coast, an all-seeing beast—known as the Watcher—lies in wait. When Shay and her girlfriend, Lauren, get into a fight over whether to go public with their clandestine relationship, they awaken the creature. Although Lauren is badly injured, the girls escape with their lives but can’t shake the feeling of the creature’s eyes tracking them. Meanwhile, aspiring photographer Zoe is desperate to put together a portfolio worthy of earning a scholarship to attend art college. Her photography teacher praises her skill but urges her to select more daring subjects for her submissions—a tall task when Zoe's camera acts as a barrier between herself and the rest of the world. As rumors swirl about Lauren's injuries, Shay remains steadfast in that the Watcher is to blame, not her. She asks for Zoe’s help in snapping a photo of the local legend. Proof would help Shay clear her name and certainly be daring enough for Zoe’s scholarship. Together with their friends Jack and Parker, they set out to expose the Watcher before its ever-creeping eyes cast the secrets they’re all keeping from the town—and one another—into the light. Eerily atmospheric and as piercing as a pair of eyes on the back of your head, Alex Crespo's LGBTQ+ supernatural thriller is a poignant story about the prices we pay to keep our secrets hidden—sometimes for good reason. Through creeping tension and mounting horror, readers will furiously turn the pages with their breaths held. Perfect for readers who love: Sapphic yearning Popular girl/ Unpopular girl romance Slow Burn Secret Relationship Small Town with a Dark Secret Found Family Eldritch Abomination Hunter Becomes the Hunted

Reviews
Alex Crespo thrills with a meticulously crafted page-turner. A feast of twists, tension and secrets. —C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise While Alex Crespo keeps the tension about as tightly strung as you can bear, the beating heart of A Feast For the Eyes comes from the dynamics between his core characters, whose determination and kindness make it all worthwhile. An instant recommendation to anyone looking for more unpredictable, genuinely fun queer horror. —Logan-Ashley Kisner, author of Old Wounds Alex Crespo's A Feast for the Eyes will have you rethinking each step, thought, and buried truth. Just like its menacing Watcher, this is horror that follows you around wherever you go. A moving, genre-defying story from an exceptional talent. —Amparo Ortiz, Author of Last Sunrise in Eterna
