Every now and then, someone comes along and makes zombies fun again. @cassiekayreads.bsky.social reviews Elias Cold's YA horror The Duke Steals Hearts & Other Body Parts–a gothic fantasy that starts with a missing nose and gets weirder from there:

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride.

I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶

Mean lesbian stack? Mean lesbian stack! Longtime viewers of Bar Cart Bookshelf know I love some toxic in the community, so I pulled together this stack of some of the most sinister sapphics in my library. Mad scientists, warlords, contract killers, vamps, empresses, mercs. It’s a good day to be bad!

Happy Pride month!

I'm so glad Lessons in Magic and Disaster is the GAYEST book I've ever written. It's about a trans witch who teaches her lesbian mom to do magic. It's about the struggle for queer liberation from the 1990s to today. It's about an 18th century transmasc icon and Georgian lesbians.
