WE ARE, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US, A STAR

(We couldn’t have known, and I should forgive us for that. We couldn’t have known how bad the damage was, how complete, how final. The old world had not gone out with a whimper at all, but with bombs bursting in air.)

DON'T GO GENTLY is a queer retelling of Robin Hood set in a near-future Madison, WI during societal collapse.

This is a good-guys-win and bad-guys-get-what-they-deserve joint. If you are desperate to read about a bisexual Robin Hood taking out violent fascist thugs masquerading as Federal agents, well, me too, so hold my beer and watch me fucking work.

DGG is a genre-bending kaleidoscope of a story: speculative fiction, sci-fi, horror, dystopia, cli-fi, post-apocalypse, romance, solar punk and hope punk.

(How do I describe what I saw, with eyes not yet accustomed to his face? I don’t think there is a person alive I could be less impartial about than Roʻonui. Maybe it doesn’t matter. Time is only linear because our limited bodies keep us anchored cruelly within it, but I believe it spirals over itself and interweaves, and maybe this is why, when I saw his face for the first time after I had nearly died, before I knew his name, before I knew how the course of my life—and his—had changed by our meeting, I had an overpowering awareness of time and space and my position within them. It was a feeling without proof, without sense. I understood that I would remember that moment for the rest of my life, but I didn’t yet know why. This is not the only time I have had the sensation. I’ve come to regard it as part intuition, part prophecy. My feet are firmly on the ground but my head has always lived somewhere above, in the stars.) As I did my best to ignore the feeling of cosmic inevitability, I began to sort all of the things I remembered: Falling, freezing. Wet, slick skin gleaming against a sky like a white sheet of paper. Strong hands helping me out of my soaked clothes. Being carried, far. And then a man murmuring to me ceaselessly as he slid my arm back to its socket, a litany of soothing nonsense spoken in a deep, calm voice, even his hands shook and his whole body was shuddering with cold.  Such kindness from a stranger, and a stranger that I had threatened, a stranger who had threatened me back. (He named me Red, and then lover boy. I never earned pet names so fast in my life.)

DON'T GO GENTLY is a queer retelling of Robin Hood set in a near-future Madison, WI during societal collapse.

If you are desperate to read about a bisexual, camo-wearing, compound bow-wielding Robin Hood taking out “not-so-nice” agents in the beautiful Driftless region of the Great Lakes, well, me too, so hold my beer and watch me full send it.

DGG is as ungovernable as its protagonist—it cannot be contained by the traditional publishing industry’s stifling genre descriptions. It is dystopian AND hopepunk. It is action-packed and deeply thoughtful. The Earth in post-apocalypse is green and thriving. There is a slow-burn romance and love triangle and neither are what you are expecting, trust.

It is also vehemently, proudly, and unapologetically sticks it to the ruling class without pulling any punches. Because Robin would throw the first molotov. ❤️‍🔥

DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT

RAGE, RAGE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT.
