angels after man by Rafael Nicolas | biblical but make it queer

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Angels After Man by Rafael Nicolas, a queer, philosophical retelling of the apocalypse that blends biblical lore, desire, and moral ambiguity.

The story follows Dina, an angel who has existed since the dawn of creation, watching humanity rise and fall while waiting for the end times. When a shocking truth about God’s first creations is revealed, Dina is drawn toward a seductive, celestial force that frames the apocalypse as an act of mercy—one meant to wipe out evil once and for all. Love, devotion, and manipulation blur together as Dina is pushed toward an irreversible choice. On Earth, Tadeo—a man shaped by war, suffering, and death—returns to life with mysterious powers he believes come directly from God. As he attempts to save his town and walk a righteous path, his fate collides with Dina’s in a meeting marked by prophecy and dread. Join us in our discussion!
