Throughout July, we're celebrating INDEPENDENTS at the Emporium! Today, we’re looking at a press named for a river in Greek mythology… though I seem to have forgotten its name. No, wait, that’s right, today we’re looking at @lethepress.bsky.social! 😅

i write stuff!
like this one about a middling hill in the Appalachians who doesn't want to die. when the Death of Mountains comes for her, they trade story for story to stave off the inevitable. it's been called "good as hell" and "hopeful."

My favorite novel from one of my favorite authors. It won the Lambda Award and was a Stoker finalist for best novel. An unsettling meditation on violence, homophobia, memory, and regret. From Lethe Press. @leethomas1.bsky.social @lethepress.bsky.social sbee.link/9h3v8u7xbd #bookreview
