Finally, Queer as Folklore! This book traces historical myths and points out how many of them are likely connected to queer people just existing and being based/weird.
Unlike most books covering these subjects, this one has humour and is very readable - a book for everyone, not just academics!

A YA short novel snuck in, but it's good! Focusing on societal demands vs personal identity, The Key of Ornoss is book one of the Tome of Báirseach series.
And it's great. Action, adventure, characters you feel for, rich world-building - it has it all.
Met the author AJ White - they were lovely!

The Train Demon by L Phillip Naughton. No image as my phone camera is playing up. It's good. Fast-paced, a little too short, but a fun horror detective book, and now is part of a currently small series.
Choo-choo, fuckers.

Joe Glass' A Con Affair hits next, which is a surprise as I dislike romance novels. This one, however, is modern, funny and sweet - and starts with a filthy hook-up.
You find yourself REALLY hoping the boys get a real happy ending. The character writing is absolutely riveting.

The Worms In Fools' Fingers, by MJ Watts. First of the indie offerings, if you want a fascinating story set during the witch fever of Europe, then this may be the book for you!
The ONLY thing stopping it from being higher on the list is the occasional pacing issue. Tbf, it's the size of the Bible.

At the back is DARKSIDERS: The Abomination Vault, by Ari Marmell. Basically a comfort read with it's violence, focus on the 4 Horsemen, and the politics of invasion, being nicely balanced by a little humor, some uncomfortable sexiness, and a great plot twist.
It shows up each year. XD

Which is why I only ever work with humans for projects. If my impoverished arse can scrape together for it, these richies don't have any excuse.
Not that they do regardless.

It would be funny if it wasn't utterly disgraceful. Push back against this. Hard.
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Good timezone! Today, I have had TCP wash up my nostrils to try and clear the sinus part of the infection. It appears to be working, but no docs until Monday for the chest (if I'm lucky).
