We have already nominated our nonfiction of the year, and it's this memoir from a local paramedic. A behind-the-scenes look at our broken systems and history of the ambulance, told with both dark humor and compassion. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/729122...

In "Toxic Positivity," a depressed skeptic confronts an intense inner critic while on an esoteric Wisdom Quest. The editor of Cold Signal makes unique collage art to go with each story, and I adore what he chose for mine! An Underworld-themed issue of dark stories. cold-signal.com/toxic-positi...

WAY behind, but I finally finished my Top 11 Books of 2024! (because I couldn’t narrow it down to 10, and in no particular order) There were so many great things I discovered! What were some of your favorite reads last year?

These three featured immersive worldbuilding and cool conceits... "Blackfish City" by Sam J. Miller: Multi-POV post-climate-change metropolis sci-fi thriller with many queer/NB characters. (Love how the author's community organizing background shows up.)

This is what happens when you have no other hobbies! Do you want book recommendations? COME AT ME, BRO 🤓

Books about the beauty/wellness industry are so hot right now (see: "The Substance"), but these are my favorite!

Two absolute bangers that I missed back in the 90s but are 100% my jam:

Four queer extreme/body horror bangers that you probably shouldn't read (unless you, like me, are very desensitized): Gretchen Felker-Martin: -Manhunt -Cuckoo Alison Rumfitt: -Tell Me I’m Worthless -Brainwyrms

Three more books with delightfully eerie vibes:

Just visited the de Young exhibit of Tamara de Lempicka, Polish bisexual Art Deco style ICON. Super inspiring, see it if you have a chance!

Four funny/dark lit-fic books with unhinged, messy antiheroines who can't seem to get out of their own way (and hence are entirely relatable)... Otessa Moshfegh: My Year of Rest and Relaxation Melissa Broder: Death Valley Jen Beagin: Big Swiss Lisa Taddeo: Animal
