I just finished this book and OMFG this was everything! Think a queer sci-fi version of Sinners meets Star Wars all crammed into a 150 page book!
One of the best reads of the year so far!

Did you miss the crowdfund but want to grab this anthology? Now you can! It’s got a story from me, about a bitter scout forced out of retirement to guide an archaeological team through a dangerous jungle, back to the cursed city where the man she loved betrayed her.

My story centers on the complicated relationship queer people sometimes have with their hometowns. Then I throw it in the blender with vengeful demonic queens, mercenary husbands, enchanted tongue piercings and a militia inspired by the Sacred Band of Thebes.

Finished THE SECRET SKIN by @wnwagner.bsky.social from @neonhemlock.bsky.social and it hit all the right notes for me. I love when a story makes it clear the goals it aims to achieve thematically and hits each of them with creative clarity.

Just finished I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN and I will need to take a second to digest it. There's a deep, deep despair in all the unanswered questions which feels a bit too real to wrap my head around right now.

You should absolutely read this book. Just incredibly well-crafted at all sorts of different levels. Enjoy it as a classic fantasy heroic journey, savour the world-building, or dig deeper into the craft and reflect on the viewpoints and characters.

Asunder by Kerstin Hall is a dark fantasy novel set in a wholly unique world, with two characters literally stuck together. I read it at the start of the year and I think about it constantly. 💙📚

As we near the end of the year, the last thing you might want is a big, chunky fantasy or science fiction book to drag into the new year. Good thing @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's got 5 underrated novellas to recommend instead!
