Sj Whitby

Project Himbo Sj Whitby

Spinning out of the dramatic events of the Cute Mutants series, a new story in the same universe.




Somewhere, a woman is attempting to bring her dead lover back from the past-not caring that this could break the world. Six mutants, scattered across time and space, their stories coming together with one figure at the center.

Tentacle Princess. Goat Bitch. Evaporate. Penance. Hench. And Twinkle Lights.

Sometimes, all you need is a himbo.




"An extremely hilarious punchy sci-fantasy that grabs you from the first line and never lets go, SJ Whitby and their Cute Mutants series, is the fresh voice we've all been waiting for."

- K. Ancrum, author of Darling




"A delightfully chaotic and queer spin on the awkward teen superhero experience"

- Xiran Jay Zhao, author of Iron Widow




"Equally heartwarming and hilarious, Cute Mutants has it all: breathless action, complex queer characters, swoon-worthy romance, and a chaotic ride-or-die superhero squad that will capture your heart. A must read!"

- Alicia Jasinska, author of The Midnight Girls




"An irreverent, ultra-nerdy, and unapologetically queer exploration of found family, self-discovery, and smashing the patriarchy-all unfolding via a sharp character voice."

- Claire Winn, author of A City of Shattered Light




"Move over, Marvel, Cute Mutants is my new obsession. Hilarious and heartwarming, this pageturner delivers snark, action, and a queer found family you can't help but root for. SJ Whitby is a rare talent, and I'll read anything they write."

- Rosiee Thor, author of Fire Become Her




"Cute Mutants refuses to settle for anything less than gloriously flawed characters going hard in all their messy, big-hearted queer teen glory, as they navigate a wild ride of newfound powers, responsibility to themselves and others, and shifting relationships in a fantastically screwball world of unlikely superpowers. Deeply loveable in its relatability, I'm burning through this series a supersonic speeds."

- Ash van Otterloo, author of A Touch of Ruckus
