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.
