Andrew Jospeh White’s YA horror novel Hell Followed With Us is about a group of queer and trans teens surviving Armageddon, heralded by a religious cult, the Angelic Movement, that took over the world using a bioweapon— a disease called the Flood. Our protagonist Benji escapes the cult at New Nazareth and stumbles into the arms of The Watch, a small group from the LGTBQIA+ center in Acheson, Pennsylvania, where he finds community he desperately needs, even and especially at the end of the world. A story about young love, body horror and dysphoria, religious trauma, shedding our skins, grief, being good, and the complexity of having multiple selves, Hell Followed With Us is a gory yet propulsive book for readers who might also like Camp Damascus or The Last of Us.
