Currently Reading: Eat Your Heart Out by Dayna Ingram from @lethepress.bsky.social and yall its a riot! Runs like a zombie b-movie with a sapphic action movie romance tie in I'm having so much fun

Reminder to self, keep an eye on Lethe Press. They publish LGBTQ+ Books and have an interesting collection. L. A. Fields had published two LGBT Sherlock Holmes books through them. 'My Dear Watson' and 'Mrs. Watson: Untold Stories'. #LGBTbooks #Bookpublishers #LGBTQIA+ www.lethepressbooks.com

Ahoy, lads 😘 This rough trade-themed anthology from Lethe Press includes a story from me about a curmudgeonly masochist, extreme music, and very grim fairy tales. Serious CWs apply for violent sex and sexualized violence 🔪⛓

Finished this today, it was whimsical and hilarious and so sweet.

At first blush, this book appears to be exactly what I expected: another solid collection of queer speculative fiction. I was not expecting Second Thoughts to challenge how I interact with literature. #bookreview 🌈📚💙
