Roland goes to Fortress nightclub to disappear. The dancefloor takes his mind away from the hospital where he works, and he loses himself in the music. That night, he makes eye contact with Rick, a jet-setting stud who shares Roland's fetish for superheroes in bondage, for masks and rope, and the charged game of power between men in spandex.

What begins as fantasy becomes a connection that cannot be severed. Roland submits to Rick's world of leather, dominance, and sexual slavery. But as Rick's domination games intensify, Roland's body begins to change. Monstrous transformations tear through him—and the fetish that set him free turns into the thing that may destroy him.

The only key to his transformation is a rare book called The Golden Man, a cursed text that charts the territory beyond pain and bondage.

How to Kill a Superhero slams the superhero myth into its darkest corner, where horror, mysticism, and unapologetic sexuality collide. It is a story of desire, surrender, and transcendence. Inside this subversive novel, BDSM and hero-worship become a ritual that opens doorways to the human soul.

A Gay Bondage Manual is Book 1 of the four-book How to Kill a Superhero series.
