The book, while full of heavy moments and terrifying religious extremities, allows queer teens to be queer teens even at the end of the world. White’s debut novel has been turning heads on TikTok and Instagram for its queer and autistic representation and cast of diverse, queer teens who are dealing with a lot of problems in the wake of a virus being unleashed by a religious cult. He meets a group of queer teens at a local LGBTQ+ Resource Center and the narrative turns into something scary, unflinchingly queer and packed with tension. Benji himself has become a living host to this plague.
The novel centers around a trans boy named Benji who is trying to escape from a religious cult that brought about the end of the world with a plague. Andrew Joseph White‘s queer, trans, monstrous Young Adult debut “ Hell Followed With Us ” isn’t afraid to push the limits of how dark, frighteningly real and openly queer Young Adult books can be.
