Want a bit of a tease for what we have in store for you with our upcoming anthology? Listen to our copy editorial director @robwillb.bsky.social chatting Wrath Month, Oz, queerness in fantasy, and more on the fabulous @alisonbaker01.bsky.social's Fantasy Book Swap podcast!

Come and meet the Fab Four who make up @bonabooks.bsky.social at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social in Brighton! Check out more about Wrath Month in Bona Books’ bio.

I had such a blast chatting about Oz, its queer connections, L Frank Baum, theatricality, possibly giving a bit of a tease for @bonabooks.bsky.social's WRATH MONTH, and much more! Listen wherever you get your podcasts! 😁

New Fantasy Book Swap episode with @robwillb.bsky.social from the amazing @bonabooks.bsky.social! We discuss Oz, queer fandom and when magic isn't a metaphor for queerness! alibaker68.podbean.com/e/ep-49-when...

A slightly diminished book: I Want That Twink Inconvenienced @bonabooks.bsky.social

So on this watch, I noticed something I never have before. I think there's Polari in PSYCHO! At one point when "Mother" is berating Norman, she says, "This is my room and no one's going to drag me out of it, least of all my big bold son." Bold is a strange word to use in the English sense. (1/4)

Fellow Ozians, our very own copy editorial director @robwillb.bsky.social appeared on an Oz podcast today to discuss Wicked! Relatedly, WRATH MONTH happens to have a Wicked-adjacent dystopian Oz story by @hrfmichael.bsky.social! Our excitement is un-li-mi-ted!

We'll include all the categories that the Polari Prize are too afraid/assimilationist to use. Bona Chicken (first book award) Bona Trade Paperback (erotica award) Bona Fantabulosa (spec fic award) Bona Lavs (poetry award) Bona Eke (best cover design) Most Innovative Use of a Twink

I would end hypothetical season with YOUR WORLD AGAINST MINE by @theadamsass.bsky.social In my head, I see this having a sillier animation style to throw the audience off to the actual deeper messages of the story until you finally rip the band-aid off and boom! www.bona-books.com/shop/p/produ...

This book is a brick in my hand 🧵 (1/8)

Absolutely honored and flabbergasted to announce that one of my earliest and favorite stories, "Still Kicking," is going to be out in Wrath Month!

#WrathMonth 🧱 is almost over, but here's an incandescent rabble of new rioters. They’re bringing you Molotov dolls, vengeful gladiatrices, mycelial resistance networks and more gut-punching dispatches. We’re stoked to announce our final batch of authors: @elijah.mea.rs, @drslayton.bsky.social...

For me, every month is Wrath Month 🤟

The full TOC looks fucking amazing. And I bet it's the first anthology ever to feature stories from two women named Corey! 💜😱

Our very own @hrfmichael.bsky.social contributes something that may be of interest to Return to Oz fans…

Absolutely wonderful -- and well deserved -- news of IWTTO being shortlisted for Best Anthology at the British Fantasy Awards. Well done to everyone involved, and especially to Bona Books's fantastic team.

I WANT THAT TWINK OBLITERATED! is back in stock at proud-geek.co.uk. It’s a queer sci-fi anthology collecting Seventeen stupidly fun, often horny pulp sci-fi and fantasy stories published by @bonabooks.bsky.social #booksky

If there’s silence from Bona Towers, it means the editorial conclave has begun. White smoke means a new table of contents has been elected. 🌫️

The official campaign may be over, but Wrath Month pre-orders have taken us past our next stretch goal, so we're going to do it anyway! Because we CAN! The deluxe hardbacks will now have sewn binding and book ribbons!! *maniacal laughter drunk on power* Preorder yours here:

Just experienced our first theft of one of our tshirts from the display COMPLETE WITH the coat hanger. Respect for the commitment, really 😅

Business. CRITICAL. (Happy London pride, everyone. x)

Gorgeous indie bookshops: lgbtia+ edition! Help these lights glow brighter: go.bsky.app/G321HCf

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Pride Month is very nearly over, and we've intercepted this important announcement.

It's pay day, so I've just upped my pledge to get both hardbacks even though I already have the Kickstarter limited edition of I Want That Twink Obliterated. It's not that far off the printed cloth cover stretch goal. I like fine editions. I would like to see it make the next goal, and the next.
