"horrifying, humorous, horny" — that sums up so much of my work, and especially SUNBATHERS, my queer eco-horror sun-vampire novella which is available in paperback, ebook, AND audiobook!

New Review
Sunbathers by Lindz McLeod is a horrifying, humorous, horny audiobook that’s short yet satisfying.

My, my, my, what do we have here...? 👀

Oh, just a little teaser for Silk and Foxglove, the all BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology from @hedonebooks.bsky.social, which includes my smutty and unnerving tale of true monstrous love, and lust...and gourds.
Teaser image of the upcoming anthology Silk and Foxglove: A BIPOC Erotic Eco-Horror Anthology, featuring a book wrapped in parchment paper with a bow of twine holding it together. The book is bordered by blue foxglove flowers and is stamped "Satisfaction Guaranteed" in its top right corner. Text below the stamps reads: "curated and edited by Z.K. Abraham" while text above reads: Cover Reveal July 9th"

Getting closer to cover reveal day. This is like a slow-mo striptease for a book! My story "All That Came From Our Lips Was Lilies" is in these sheets. Silk and Foxglove is being published by Hedone Books. #horror #anthology #ecohorror #BookSky #WritingCommunity @hedonebooks.bsky.social
Cover Reveal July 9th Curated and edited by Z. K. Abraham. Silk and Foxglove: A BIPOC Erotic Eco-Horror Anthology. Just under half of the cover is showing. Two semicircles are visible: one red and the other in greyscale. The red one contains abstract looping line drawings.

Today you get a hint of the cover for "Silk and Foxglove". I'll also hint at the inspiration behind my story for this anthology: I love the rivers that run through my city. I'd hate to see them threatened by... Something. 👀

Tune in tomorrow for the full cover reveal from @hedonebooks.bsky.social!
Yesterday's wrapped up book parcel is now partially open, revealing a third of the cover. A portion of a red circle can be seen, with curving abstract black and white lines on it. Below that, part of the book's title is superimposed over a rounded grey shape. The text on the graphic reads: "Cover reveal July 9th. 'Silk and Foxglove: A BIPOC Erotic Eco-horror Anthology'. Curated and edited by Z. K. Abraham." A stamp on the bown paper covering the rest of the book, declares: 'Satisfaction Guaranteed'."

It was us. That little bird was us 🐦
lindzmcleod.bsky.social Lindz McLeod - THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET is out now! @lindzmcleod.bsky.social · Jun 3
A little bird just told me that the paperback of SUNBATHERS, my eco-horror sun-vampire book, is on sale RIGHT NOW for less than $7.

It would be a CRIME not to buy it, and certainly it would be a worse crime than any of the ones my queer protagonist commits.
Probably.

Today is election day in Canada! So this is your friendly reminder that if you vote for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party, then we don’t want you reading our books and we hope you can’t climax for the rest of the year 🥰

Just because #transdayofvisibility is today doesn’t mean it’s the ONLY day you can read trans authors 🏳️‍⚧️ Reading is political and with trans rights under fire now more than ever, it’s important to diversify your reading and uplift trans voices!
