Together, they run a blog called The Oculus, documenting the strange and unexplainable and offering paranormal investigative services. When the group is recruited to investigate a (supposedly) haunted mansion, Moll is eager to finally gain some firsthand experience with the paranormal world.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bayron (Make Me a Monster) crafts a thrilling horror novel about an intersectionally diverse found family who uses their supernatural gifts to assist in paranormal investigations throughout Portland, Ore. Moll, Agnes, Redd, and Ossie consider themselves to be relatively normal teens contending with issues such as bad hair days and queer identity—except for their unique and volatile gifts, which include manipulating thoughts and emotions, reading minds, and influencing animal behavior. They're taken in by Moll's mother, who restrains the teens' powers. To make sense of their experiences and help others, they create the Oculus, a website through which they offer their abilities to help solve supernatural mysteries. When the owner of a crumbling Victorian home asks for their help investigating strange occurrences and the disappearance of a young woman linked to the property, the group soon learns about a long-dead occult practitioner and powerful Black medium whose legacy continues to reverberate through a secretive and dangerous network. Interspersed among Moll's first-person POV are fascinating accountings about notable occult figures and Black spiritualism that ground the supernatural elements in a pseudo-documentary framework. This riveting and delightfully sinister tale pairs monster-hunting excitement with astute explorations of power and control. Ages 13–up.
