Dayspring by Anthony Oliveira

Winner of the 2024 Dayne Ogilvie Prize, Dayspring reimagines the gospel through a queer lens—sacred, erotic, and breathtakingly original. A luminous debut that fuses myth, scripture, and desire into a story of love, loss, and faith.

Today on the site I'm delighted to welcome back Marieke Nijkamp, Dutch author of so many books but most notably, today, of This is Where it Ends, an uber-bestselling YA thriller whose 10th anniversary edition just released yesterday. As it happens, Marieke is one of my best friends dating back to before either of us were published, so it's been a particular joy to be on board for this journey!

I have written exactly one short fiction piece that I’d call horror—"Filth," which was printed in "Night Shadows: Queer Horror." It’s about a gay dude who figures out how to control the filth his father insists is inside him.

Not in the way the father hopes, mind.

This one's back on sale! I don't understand how any of this works! But I *do* know it's got a creeptastic Bajan take on The Cask of Amontillado by Tiffany Jackson, an absolutely gutting Annabel Lee story by Tessa Gratton, and is the origin of Emily Lloyd-Jones' August Pine, among other glories!
