by Aaron Billings

Mystical Boy Scout is the physical manifestation of homosexual resilience, extravagance and sexual prowess, and he’s finally settling down with his boyfriend Alex in a beat-up share house. That is until the date of their scheduled house inspection, which they are far from prepared for. Can gay magic help you pass a house inspection? What kind of secrets is he sitting on? What would you do to protect your boyfriend and your boyfriend’s pet chicken? All these questions beg an answer.

Praise for Mystical Boyscout #4:
"The queer share house fairytale we've all been waiting for. Smoky, scratchy, bright, serious, poetic, and funny, Aaron Billings presents a mini grand unified theory of supernatural visitors, real estate inspections, overly perfect boyfriends, and the Russian space dog, Laika. It's really a story for the lovesick puppy in each of us, a book that charms you, freaks you out a bit, and gives you all the feelings."
- Ronnie Scott
"This book is funny and strange... I wish all the world was as gay as Mystical Boy Scout"
- Tommi Parrish
