“i asked chat gpt” yeah well i asked rachel dare and she started spewing green mist and she gave me some weird ass prophecy we have to hope won’t come true for another 50 years
Doomed siblings have me on a chokehold in a way no trope can ever achieve. Something so gut wrenchingly beautiful about two kids going through unimaginable trauma and coming out damaged forever. I always eat it up. Maybe they stay together and find solace only in each other, used and kicked out by society! Maybe they end up on opposite sides of the war! Maybe they end up betraying one another! Maybe one of them dies haunting the narrative forever! Maybe one of them destroys the world for the other! So many endless tragic possibilities!

this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.
hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.
Return of the King
Wake Up!
Heyyy this is an announcement of the next installment of the novella series, SEASONS. WAKE UP! is the winter novella and all my books deal with queer and trans themes, but WAKE UP! is my book with the most explicitly trans characters/concerns. This story in particular is about gambling.
It's an unconventional trans-noir literary (???) thriller, following a middle-aged-ish trans lesbian at an uncertain point in her life. Her lot gets thrown in with a compulsive gambler; a dirtbag trans dude who worships a strange photograph and doesn't give a fuck about anyone, or anything beyond making a killing off of illegal underground games. Not long after she reluctantly takes him in, she is abducted one night to witness him play in a dangerous, high-stakes match.....
If you like a shorter read with trans characters where their transness is not the main tension of the story, if you're one of the five people on the planet who are like FINALLY THE TRANS MAHJONG THRILLER I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, or if you know nothing about mahjong, and crave something a little more unpredictable with Lynchian elements, give it a go! The book will come out March 31st and is available to pre-order as a special-print paperback, a cheaper mass paperback. Once the book is out, the ebook will be free on Itch. <3 Thanks, all!! ^^

How it started
How it's going
do you have any niche (ish) book recommendations? basically anything that isnt popular with book influencers or part of an established canon. always looking for a way to broaden my horizon
all of these i’ve barely/never seen discussed online or found the old fashioned way (poking around a bookstore) <3
Lives of the Monster Dogs: a recounting of that time a bunch of scientifically enhanced anthropomorphic dogs in 19th century german fashion moved into new york city in 2008. obviously we all remember this but in case you want to relive it, their time in new york is recounted in letters, diaries, articles, and a full operetta!
Fifty Beasts to Break Your Heart and Other Stories: a very strange and whimsical collection that feel like the grimm brothers take on a welcome to nightvale <3 nathercott is one of my favorite authors and her folklorist backgrounds really comes through in her writing! this also has beautiful illustrations.
Candelaria: i genuinely cannot even begin to describe this one it is so strange 😭😭 it’s a multigenerational novel except the generations are surviving a very strange apocalypse? theres a wellness cult? and zombies? if thats not your speed Lozada-Olivia also has an equally strange novel in verse called Dreaming of You, in which a woman copes with a break up by resurrecting Selena. yes that Selena.
The Fetishist: in short: a punk rock singer kidnaps the man she blames for her mother’s death. in long: a character driven work following Kyoko, the punk rocker, Daniel, the kidnapped and the fetishist, and Alma, the love of Daniels life and cello prodigy. really poignant book about love, music, and the fetishization of east asian women. This was also an unfinished work that Katherine Min’s daughter Kayla edited and published posthumously. if you pick it up a highly recommended reading Kayla’s afterword.
Meet Me at the Crossroads: this is about two sisters who grew up in a church that worships mysterious doors that open go another world. when one steps through disappears, the other is left with the mystery of where she went, and who she is on her own. Giddings is a very loved author but i think this one didn’t get as much love as her other novels bc its much more of a ghost story than the portal fantasy it seems a lot of people were expecting.
Catalina: a somewhat autobiographical novel about an undocumented girl’s experience at an elite college. Catalina is such a vibrant, ambitious, and complex character it’s impossible not to immediately fall in love with her. If you’re interested in nonfiction Villavicencio’s book The Undocumented Americans is also phenomenal.
