Queering Him

In high school, Kieran was Avra’s tormentor—a cruel, looming presence whose hostility felt unsettlingly personal. Years later, that jagged history pivots into a dangerous, magnetic obsession. As their lives continue to collide in early adulthood, Avra begins to suspect that Kieran’s past cruelty wasn’t just a symptom of bigotry, but a projection of a hunger he couldn’t name: a desperate, buried desire for the queer identity he once sought to destroy. What follows is an electric, volatile courtship that blurs the lines between enmity and intimacy. As they descend into a relationship defined by erotic yearning and psychological brinkmanship, Avra and Kieran force each other to confront the agonizing intersections of shame, power, and identity. Bogen’s debut is a scalding examination of the fluidity of desire and the scars left by suppressed truths. It is a raw, unapologetic look at how we project our own internal conflicts onto others and the harrowing work required to untangle those complicated impulses. Propulsive and unflinchingly bold, Queering Him marks the start of a searing trilogy that challenges the boundaries of queer experience, kink, and the transformative potential of our darkest attractions.
