Trying to find a gay romance/fantasy story but can't remember the name?

I know this isn't the best category for this question but books and authors isn't helping at all and this is driving me crazy. I can't remember the name of it. It was about a guy who I think is taken into the woods by a bully, and a golem (I'm like 98% sure that is what he was called) finds him and lets hims stay with him and i don't really remember anything else...feel like there are ghouls or something..something tries to eat the boy anyway and the golem saves him lol or maybe that is where his friends come in? and I think it was in a book with other stories too, which I think is why I can't find it :/ Help!! Going crazy!!
