“Funny, frightening, and unexpectedly tender, My Roommate Is Trying To Kill Me is a deliciously unhinged queer horror romance for anyone who’s ever ignored a red flag because the face attached to it was just that good!“ - Aiden Thomas, NYT bestselling author of Cemetery Boys

Some things are harder to survive than murder.

Hakeem Morales wants to be the kind of horror actor people build midnight screenings around. At the moment, he’s mostly working nights at a Los Angeles horror bar, The Last Cue; trying not to spiral about his stalled life; and wondering whether his new roommate is trying to kill him.

Antonio Sanchez is older, private, unfairly attractive, and suspicious in ways Hakeem feels should be illegal. He writes cryptic things in notebooks. He jokes too much about Hakeem’s upcoming twenty-seventh birthday. Every time Hakeem almost convinces himself he’s being dramatic, Antonio does something else deeply alarming.

Unfortunately, Hakeem’s growing list of evidence is matched only by his growing attraction—because nothing improves a possible murder situation like developing a crush on the man you’re pretty sure is planning it.
