Weaveworld's Magic: How Clive Barker's Novel Fights Fascism And Celebrates Queer Identity: A My Life In Horror - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website
Clive Barker's Weaveworld is more than a fantasy novel, it's a sacred text of queer awakening and a radical critique of fascism. and why its celebration of magic and desire forever alters its readers.

My dearest wife,
It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

Apropos of nothing, behold this thread of incredible trans authors who deserve all of the book sales
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
