In Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, actress and cultural icon Megan Fox delivers a raw and unflinching debut collection of poetry. Subtitled “A Collection of F**ked Up Fairy Tales,” the book draws heavily from Fox’s personal experiences and emotional inner life, exploring themes of love, violence, abuse, betrayal, and resilience.

Told in verse that is both lyrical and brutal, these poems subvert fairy tale tropes and confront toxic relationships, feminine rage, and the complexities of desire. Fox's voice—at once vulnerable and ferocious—reveals the shadows behind the spotlight, offering a rare look into the pain and beauty behind public perception.
