Hype

On the morrow

I see no benefit in disclosing such information. "I'm leaving this review voluntarily" —most reviews are voluntarily regardless of how or if the book was purchased. When and to what effect did this disclosure become standard?

Maybe it's uncouth but if I review a book received as an ARC, I'm not inclined to disclose that I received it as an ARC. I feel all that does is encourage a reader to assume I'm saying what I am because I received the book for free. I'd rather a reader just take my review at face-value.

Now when did y'all get N&Ls

Congrats!

I imagine @traumbooks.bsky.social wouldn't mind sending you an epub of EUSECT if you're interested in a horror collection.

I'll send you a copy of my first novella as well if you DM me an address to send it. It is a queer social horror:

I've been saying this

"Will antis be mad if I read your book?"
"I dunno—there's necrophilia in it so do with that what you will."

Tumblr post by user "hranmere": This is insane what is happening in Kansas. They just—took away an entire population’s valid IDs. With a stroke of a pen. No grace period. No chance for anyone to get their IDs “fixed” in time, not that they should have had to in the first place. They even made it illegal for people to drive themselves to the DMV to get a new ID. That’s insane y’all. That is dystopian level madness. It is petty and cruel and literally dehumanizing. They have also invalidated their birth certificates, thus jeopardizing their ability to prove citizenship and vote. It’s voter suppression on top of everything else. They wanted to make an entire population into criminals with a stroke of a pen and that’s what they did. And the rest of the country just… hasn’t noticed. No one cares. There’s no headlines. Nothing on the news. Because it’s Kansas. Because it’s trans people. But if it can happen somewhere in this country, it can happen anywhere. And if it can happen to trans people, it can happen to you.

it's quite poignant.

It's rare an author gets a review by someone who goes through and puts down their thoughts on nearly every piece. Thanks for that Bez, and thanks for the kind words :)

Sorry to anyone lamer than I am but everything I write WILL contain weird sex

I second these choices

Visiting NYC and dang—there's still so much snow ❄️❄️❄️

here’s my review of Wake Up!, a novella many of you would really love, I think

I kinda like it because it places furry as opposed to "normal" and maintains an inherent weirdness the subculture should foster

Better not be quiet about it!! 🔪📣📣

A review by C.L. Methvin of "The King in Yellow" a novel by Robert W. Chambers. Full review accessible here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8250919825?book_show_action=false

Recently read The King in Yellow. Weird, but ultimately disappointing, increasingly so with each story past the second. Regrettably I do not recommend

A review by C.L. Methvin of "Black Hole Science is Filled with Apologies," a collection of poetry by Never Angeline North. Full review accessible here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8350621176?book_show_action=false

Recently read "Black Hole Science is Filled with Apologies" by @never.horse. While, admittedly, poetry is hit or miss for me, I found it a strong collection with stunning descriptions among many of the pieces. Fans of poetry, surrealism, and themes of gender/identity, this book is calling to you 🌀🌀🌀

A review by C.L. Methvin of "Wake Up!" a novel by Ryszard Merey. Full review accessible here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8251455815?book_show_action=false

Recently read Wake Up! by Merey of @traumbooks.bsky.social and found it a special contemporary disaster melding slice-of-life and the fantastical while still grounding relationships and queerness as focus

Recently read Slaughterhouse-Five and adored it
