Two men, each serving time for the same crime, are forced to question the nature of their desires when their pasts become their present.

Venturing into dark and explosive territory, My Fellow Creatures is a raw, honest, and thoughtful portrayal of these men and their virtues, confronting the reader with difficult questions about love, consent, vengeance, and acceptance.
