Cover art for Booksellers and Bone Setters, an Oak King Holly King Tale. An elderly Victorian clerk and fae man with horns and goat ears gaze lovingly into each other's eyes, surrounded by a mistletoe wreath. An excerpt from Booksellers and Bone Setters reads as follows: The icy sweat trickling down Hullvardr’s scalp felt at odds with his fevered brow. The pain in his broken limb remained a constant—but, as one might grow accustomed to the howling of hounds after enough hours of ceaseless noise, so the searing agony had become just another part of the world, like the rattle of wagon-wheels over cobblestones and the crackling hearth-fire. Part of him felt better for having beheld the wound; now that he understood the shape of it, no longer did the possibility of worse torment him. The pain burst into something louder and brighter only when he moved his leg, and so he did not move it. His molars ground together to keep the more pitiful moans at bay. Giving voice to his pain would not change matters. He had but to wait for Grytha’s arrival. Until then he need only endure. And with seven centuries behind him, he could endure well enough. The more pressing matter, to his mind, was how to look after Ephraim.

Francis Crozier reclines fetchingly on the Arctic shale on his side posed like Dr Ian Malcolm with one arm resting on his raised bent knee but in full battered-looking cold weather naval slops and with a little sun protector tucked under his hat. Somebody else is bending down next to him and a few other people are milling around in the background. The eternal reminder: SATURDAY CHILLIN’ Don’t fucken @ me I’M CHILLIN’

the thing about Fiorenzo is that it's less of a Hurt/Comfort 101 and more of a thing you injest when you've consumed so much Hurt/Comfort that you're basically immune to it and in order to feel anything you need prescription-strength maximum dose Hurt/Comfort regardless of the side effects

Feeling very grumpy about the void here so l've channeled that into a list of weird or weird-ish or weird-adjacent or theoretically-weird collections by Black authors (some of which I’ve read and too many of which I have not)
