And you don’t get to see me again. You forgot to mention that part. You’re sad about not seeing me again.

Toronto, tomorrow we're festing for free at Little Ghosts Fest by @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social I'm going to hang out all afternoon to watch all the panels and check out the vendors and then I'll talk queer villains on a panel and read something :P. And I'm bringing my devil horns. It'll be fun. 😀

That one killed me. One of the big reasons I moved to Toronto from the states at 19 was it looked like they were giving weird faggots like me tv shows up here. To see someone from Kids in the Hall saying the stuff he’s saying is devastating.

This interview dropped in our lap so quickly and I wasn’t prepared for a photo so when the reporter asked to take one I panicked and grabbed a cartoonish stack of books and said QUICK TAKE IT BEFORE I DROP EVERYTHING QUICK

A dark and bloody queer horror novel where the HIV-positive protagonist has to brave a dystopian landscape and zombie apocalypse to scavenge the medication he needs to keep himself alive.  Violent, twisted, transgressive, and original. @mrwarrenwagner.bsky.social sbee.link/6rxgj4k3y8

Staff pick from Charlie: One of my favorite horror novellas! Short & sweet, perfect for getting out of a reading slump - yet incredibly layered story. I loved how Warren Wagner weaves queer history of the AIDS epidemic in the story's time setting. This novella captures my two interests: horror and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
