CONJOINED ANGELS, my sophomore novel, is off to beta readers, and it's time for me to start talking about it with a degree of certainty. If a surreal body horror romance between mad doctors in 1930s Tornado Alley sounds like your jam, you can add it on Goodreads right now with the link below :))
The blurb for CONJOINED ANGELS by Kyle Wakefield: Jamie Fugate is a physician taught by his militant father. Amon Jessop is a veterinary radiologist too soft-hearted for Jamie’s patience. To the behemoth which crash-lands in a wheat field between their Oklahoman towns during a storm—six wings and a senseless tangle of human body parts—they’re the only science for miles. The two agree that they’re studying God, but they agree on nothing else. Amon sees God in the wings, barely contained by a communal tornado shelter. Jamie sees God in the body, or—as he learns when Amon’s fluoroscope reveals two human skeletons entwined in an embrace—the bodies. Extracting the second head for examination is his first cut. Soon, the study is a vivisection. The veterinarian is hiding a shame which made him flee the city he trained in, and the physician is hiding a bloodlust his bone saw can’t reach. When the behemoth proves pestilential, and their thirst for knowledge turns into a thirst for each other, a new monster is born, more volatile by far than the one on their table. The colour scheme's black and cream and muted green, and the backdrop is a radiograph of what looks like a man with six arms. It's a painting I did but you'd totally be fooled into thinking it's real. Perfect anatomy. Seriously A 'trope map' for Conjoined Angels by Kyle Wakefield. It's not really a trope map. I described it on tumblr as an elevator pitch charcuterie board because these aren't real tropes at all. They're VIVISECTING A MONSTER IN A TORNADO SHELTER FRICTIOUS COLLEAGUES, CODEPENDENT LOVERS BONE SAWS, RIB SHEARS AND RADIATION CRAZY BODY HORROR THE DOCTOR TO LIVING WOUND PIPELINE EXISTENTIAL DREAD THE VET TO WILD ANIMAL PIPELINE CRYPT OF THE MOON SPIDER X PARADISE ROT

Doing a grand internet tour to show everybody my new tattoo of Nene from THE CHURCH OF THE MOUNTAIN OF FLESH. He healed beautifully and everything is in the right place, as you can see
An inner upper arm tattoo of a blond twink with an upside-down head. He is hanging upside-down on the arm, so his head is the correct way up relative to the viewer. His hanging body from the ribs downward is rotted away. The subject's other hand is holding a book to show an illustration of the same guy rotted away up to the mouth. Poor bastard. The same subject holding the same book - THE CHURCH OF THE MOUNTAIN OF FLESH by Kyle Wakefield - this time closed. I just picked this one because it's got my palm tattoo in it, to be honest.

Realised I could use my new Bluesky account as an excuse to post the blurb and trope map for my current project again. I've only got one draft, but three finished radiograph panels. My working comp list is something like THE WOODS ALL BLACK x PARADISE ROT. Meet romance of a kind CONJOINED ANGELS.

An intro, even though you all already know my deal. I'm Kyle, an indie author of cosmic and body horror; I wrote THE CHURCH OF THE MOUNTAIN OF FLESH, a medieval story about a Faustian pact for a gender transition which is a finalist for three Indie Ink awards. All artwork is my own unless specified!
