This includes (only mentioning the ones I've read so far, but I'm sure the others are also great!):

Eusect by C.L Methvin, a body horror/gore anthology. MAEJ by Dale Stromberg, a huuuuge epic fantasy novel with some of the coolest linguistic aspects I've read in a while with a trans woman MC. Love/Aggression by June Martin, tvst with two trans roommates making each other lives hell. Something's Not Right by yves., a short story collection of queer speculative literature. Corrupted Vessels by Briar Ripley Page, which asks the question: What if three trans people started a cult in a decrepit house in the forest? Most Famous Short Film of All Time by Tucker Lieberman, about transmasculinity and ghosts and godesses and philosophy. Also huge and very great.

Publishing time for EUSECT!!!

The end is scary. The perpetual is scarier.

Circling back here to say that our latest splatterpunk short story collection by C.L. Methvin is coming out tomorrow! We've had such a great response from reviews: EUSECT made my stomach churn and I could not get enough! and [this is] a fever dream and I didn't want to wake up. I'm also excited about how many people are enjoying the collage art inside from artist Florian S. Fauna.

If you'd like to read EUSECT for free, you can still grab a copy HERE. And as always, while we're thrilled if someone loves it--leave a review even if you didn't love it, or downright hated it! Different, varied reactions are always welcome!

If you'd like to support us and the author by purchasing a copy, you can grab a special print, a cheaper physical print (still palm-sized), or an ecopy from various sites. All options are listed HERE.

=============== (Previous text, for ARC)

EUSECT, by C.L. Methvin, is a small collection of queer short stories we'll be putting out in mid January. If you like transgressive horror, fast paced tales and Southern Gothic flavor, we're looking for people who'd like to read a free copy in exchange for an honest review. Methvin's disturbing little stories probe the never-end: the party you can't leave; the baby that can't grow up or die; the lover who refuses to accept his lover's death. You can grab your free ecopy right here, off of Booksirens.

Cover art by Dusty Ray. Inner collage art by Florian S. Fauna.

((Reviews do not need to be all glowing--we're looking for honest impressions!)) You can add the book on Goodreads or check out the book's official page on our website here. Reblogs appreciated. <3
