It Stung and I Laughed

About the Book

Almost a year has passed since L.J. left behind her home in Australia, and moved to the unpopular town of New Crescent, Massachusetts so that her stepfather may continue his medical career. For a year, next to nothing has happened. That is: until the annual warehouse party. Following the events of the night, a series of animal attacks haunt the town. All the meanwhile, L.J. finds herself drawn to a boy. And Raph Di Conte, irrefutably dark and strange, is proof that some secrets remain secrets simply because they should. It Stung and I Laughed portrays a story of love and gore, blood – and the tragically feral human psyche.
