A CHRISTMAS EVE CAROL
By Mark Z. Danielewski

HoL broke my brain in the best way possible.

#TomsCrossing grabbed my heart and soul, said, “Let’s climb a mountain and set something free.”

We did, even if the mountain was only just a stack of pages and what was set free was only just in me. We did.

Though, stories are allways never just only.

This Horse Moving Through Water sculpture was hand-shaped during the journey that became Tom’s Crossing. Sculpted by Mark Z. Danielewski. Bronze.

These Pinch Front Hat necklaces were also created during the trek through mountains.

Mark Z. Danielewski's novel, TOM'S CROSSING, is published today. Set in the Utah mountains, it's a chase story...and as close to the Great American Novel as you're ever going to get.

We could try to tell you more about Mark Z. Danielewski's TOM'S CROSSING . . . or you could just read what Stephen King had to say.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Library Journal review is in on TOM’S CROSSING:

VERDICT: A tremendous novel that merits rereading in order to absorb the suspenseful plot and appreciate its intricate construction. Fans of Danielewski’s House of Leaves will clamor for his first major stand-alone novel in 25 years.

TOM’S CROSSING

This is an amazing work of fiction. I absolutely loved it. At the heart you'll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there’s so much more. I immersed myself. Have never read anything like it.  —Stephen King

If you read every excellent book on this excellent list, you will become better and more attractive.
You should always be reading trans fiction, but now feels like an even more important time to be reading our stories and supporting our art. Good thing 2025 has already served up some absolutely incredible novels by trans authors!

Pantheon is offering a way to win a galley of TOM’S CROSSING. For promotional reasons they are looking for readers who can help spread the word in a big way.

Over the last few weeks, StoryGraph has been hit by a large, coordinated DDoS campaign designed to knock our service offline.

Nadia and I have been working around the clock to keep StoryGraph up and running. Sorry for the slowdowns and outages lately. We should have a new solution in place soon!

My daughters (5 and 2 years old) started the morning with a tea party that evolved into a sword fight and my world seems so much brighter.

9th Draft — also known as First Pass or 1p — is done. Out of this comes galleys due out in May. Pantheon won’t be printing a lot (it’s a big book) but there will be an opportunity to win one. Stay tuned for more info on that front. Otherwise, here we go . . .
