A bold, soupy, and cannily queer collection of stories that confronts what it means to have a body.

A dark, unflinching haunted house novel that takes readers from the well of the literary gothic, up through Brighton's queer scene, and out into the heart of modern day trans experience in the UK.

An anthology of queer erotic sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, edited by So Mayer and Adam Zmith and feating work from ten queer writers from the UK and beyond.

Transgressive, foulmouthed, and wildly funny 100 Boyfriends is a filthy, unforgettable, and brutally profound ode to messy queer love. Cult hero Brontez Purnell draws us into a community of glorious misfits while giving us an uncompromising vision of desire, desperation, race, loneliness, and queerness.

An electrifying novel about the creeping reality of political terror, and the violent pleasures found in Brooklyn's queer heartlands. Part noir, part erotic thriller, X is a vivid, moody and darkly funny portrait of those living on the margins of an increasingly hostile society.

Peter Scalpello's glittering ode to sex, intimacy, and queer discovery, this vital debut collection explores chemsex, addiction, masculinity, and joy.

When DeShawn hears news of his uncle's death, his riotous big-city life in San Francisco is abruptly put on hold while he travels back to his Alabama hometown for the funeral. While there, he's hit by flashbacks of growing up queer and black in the '80s South, of a youth filled with strong women, bewildered boys, and messed up queers. Wading through prickly reminders of his childhood, of sweltering Sundays, church, family, and the men he once knew, Deshawn reconnects with his old self and the ghosts of his past. A raw, dirty, hilarious, and heart-breaking novel about the experiences that shape us, Since I Laid My Burden Down asks the intimate question: who deserves love?

A tender, meditative, and quietly kaleidoscopic novel about the 90's, queer adolescence, and swimming.
