Hey, you. Scrolling through Tumblr.
Do you have a Supernatural-shaped hole in your heart, but you want to fill it with an urban fantasy series that’s a bit more monstrous, more Pagan, and a helluva lot more queer? Something dark and spooky, but also funny by way of carnivorous unicorns and motorcycling minotaur gangs?
Then I’ve got the answer for you, and that answer is the Deadly Drinks series!
The Deadly Drinks series stars two half-huldra brothers. Retz Gallows is a hairdresser who just so happens to also be mental roommates with an ancient necromancer who likes to take their shared body on joyrides. Jarrod Gallows became a paranormal investigator to save his younger brother, but all he’s found so far is a faerie curse and daredevil boyfriend Farris O’Reilly.
After ten years apart, Deadly Drinks chronicles their reunion and cases throughout the Pacific Northwest. Between a lamia’s gilded menagerie, a body-warping carnival, and the nefarious plots of faeries, they’ll have a hard time getting through these jobs alive...or sober.
“Okay that’s great but why do I wanna’ read it?”
Queer rep! Retz and Nalem are asexual, Jarrod is a trans man in an established gay relationship, and even the other is a nonbinary chaos gremlin.
Bored with vampires and werewolves? We’ve got huldras, lamia, minotaurs, and stranger creatures still. Plus a ghost leviathan. You’ve gotta’ check out the ghost leviathan.
The physical books have beautiful wrap-around illustrated covers (designed by online artist QuelFabulous)! They will look great on your shelves, or covering your face as you breathe in that Fresh Book Smell.
The books also include concept art by yours truly. Gaze upon designs! Color them in, even!
