Boys Weekend

In a near-future sci-fi story where a trans woman goes "boy mode" to act as best "man" for her best friend's wedding, Sammie must survive a weekend bachelor party made of the worst bros humanity has to offer at a floating city that is 120% libertarian capital hell. And if she can survive the blockchain investing tech bros, she'll have to deal with literal horrors from the deep sea (like the one on the cover). While an over the top (or is it) parody of late stage capitalism and the tech industry on the surface, Boys Weekend is, deep down, about the communities trans people create, cultivate, salvage, and abandon as we begin to live our true selves.

From the Publisher:

Part satire, part horror, Boys Weekend explores what it's like to exist as a transfemme person in a man's world, the difficulty of maintaining friendships through transition, and the more cult-like effects of masculinity, "hustle" culture, and capitalism-all through the vibrant lens of a surreal, scary, and immensely imaginative romp. Newly-out trans artist's assistant Sammie is invited to an old friend's bachelor weekend in El Campo, a hedonistic wonderland of a city floating in the Atlantic Ocean's international waters-think Las Vegas with even fewer rules. Though they have not identified as a man for over a year, Sammie's college buddies haven't quite gotten the message-as evidenced by their formerly closest friend Adam asking them to be his "best man." Bad enough that they have to suffer through a torrent of passive-aggressive comments from the groom's pals-all met with zero pushpack from supposed "nice guy" Adam. But also, they seem to be the only one who's noticed the mysterious cult that's also staying at the hotel, and is ritually dismembering guests and demanding fealty to their bloodthirsty god.
