The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach

TL;DR: A chaotic mess of a botanical fantasy but SO much fun at the same time. Source: Many thanks to the publisher for my copy! Plot: A young cop comes back from death and finally sees the corruption and magic fueling her city, and is set to become a warrior in an ages long war between gods. Characters: There is a wide variety of characters here and everyone stands pretty unique in my mind. I…

In a city where lost gods live in the cracks in the sidewalk and where the miracle of alchemical botany makes flesh as malleable as clay, Yat Jyn-Hok must solve her own murder, and find her lost love, before a plague tears her home apart.

Sascha Stronach’s debut novel is a story of rebirth, redemption, and the long road home. It’s the beserk, hopeful, witchy and weird LGBT+ Sci-Fi novel that you didn’t know you needed in your life. For fans of Tamsyn Muir, Scott Lynch, Seth Dickinson and Lara Elena Donnelly.

The Dawnhounds is out November 8 2019, from Little Hook Press.

(And here’s the book trailer)

But i need you to circle back to The Dawnhounds by Sascha Stronach, who wrote a book that's basically Perdido Street Station except everybody is a gay anarchist who hates the cops

Yeah I knew you'd want to know about that

Gideon the Ninth meets Black Sun in this queer, Māori-inspired debut fantasy about a police officer who is murdered, brought back to life wi

Adding to this: it's such a fantastic book. It has some phenomenal body horror and wonderful found family moments, too.

Get your mushroom collection, your darkest corner, and your most worn blanket, brew some cheap tea, and curl up with this.

Like the vibes are very "punk kids writing a fantasy that you can read in a runoff rainwater tunnel or by the graffiti'd tunnel at the park."

It has neo-noir vibes! pirates! Nonbinary people! Maori cultural influences! Queer yearning! Horrifying quasi-magical technology!

If you like the game "Numanera" you will absolutely die over this setting, too. I also think it's kind of like Disco Elysium, but with biotechnology?

Anyway, you should grab it. Strong recommendation.
