“Sweet as vanishing dreams, tender to the touch as new memories, wise
as nursery rhymes, tasty as blueberry pancakes, Holly Wade Matter's
Damned Pretty Things is a wondrous redemption tale of the triumph of
love and friendship over pain and difference."

Raven Nothing
by Som Paris
Raven Nothing is a portal story desperately needed for our
times. Raven, the protagonist, is a “crossover” in more ways than one,
and the novel reveals how these different crossings—with gender,
space, and psychology—intersect. Urgent, poignant, and lyrical, Raven
Nothing expands the possibilities of fantasy literature.

The Vampire Tapestry
by Suzy McKee Charnas
"The novel works on many levels — as pure adventure, as social description, as psychological drama, and as a passionate exploration of the web that links instinct, morality, and culture. It is a serious, startling, and revolutionary work, and I recommend it to all comers.”

Stagestruck Vampires and Other Phantasms
by Suzy McKee Charnas
“In ‘Listening to Brahms’ Charnas proves that she can take global tragedies and extract the most minute yet potent seed of hope from the rubble. Three linked stories comprise a nuanced portrait of her vampiric antihero Dr. Weyland. With its Leiberesque love affair with the stage, this entertaining volume deserves to run as long as Cats.”

Disease
by Sarah Tolmie
Bodily life is an uneasy business. The terror of disease is a
ubiquitous one. New diseases are being discovered all the time. This
book collects twenty contemporary diseases — privacy, for example, or
innovation, or involuntary compassion — and presents their primary
symptoms and etiologies. It presents sufferers’ anecdotes: Owen wakes
up one day made of glass. Deirdre is allergic to tourists. A
middle-aged diabetic is haunted by the feet of a Kurdish refugee
child. Apples develop a persistent tremor, and peanuts plot
underground. Human resilience is tested in dramatic new ways in
Disease.

The Kingdom of Kevin Malone
by Suzy McKee Charnas
Amy, brooding on a family crisis, retreats to Central Park—from the
frying pan straight into the fire! Out of her past swoops her old
arch-enemy Kevin Malone, the neighborhood punk who used to bully
her. Angrily chasing him now through an arched passage under a park
roadway, she emerges into another world. Kevin's feverish imagination
has transformed Central Park into the Fayre Farre, a land of danger,
magic, and heroic adventure. Here, among castles, elves, monsters,
wild men, battles, and prophecies, Kevin is a Prince and a legendary
champion. He's also still a self-centered jerk with a chip on his
shoulder, and he's lost control of his magnificent creation: chaos and
destruction are sweeping the land...

The Ruby Tear
by Suzy McKee Charnas
“The Ruby Tear is a fun contemporary vampire story revolving
around a theatrical production entitled “The Jewel.” The author,
Rebecca Brand, writes smoothly and plays well with the conventions
of the gothic, which isn’t too surprising when one realizes that
Ms. Brand is a pseudonym for Suzy McKee Charnas, who obviously
enjoyed writing this book. You’ll enjoy reading it.”

The Bronze King
by Suzy McKee Charnas

Silver Glove
by Suzy McKee Charnas
"…sinister Dr. Brightner…is installed as the new school psychologist
the same day Val’s magic Gran runs away from her nursing home. A
renegade wizard, Brightner is after souls, and he’s been trying to
get Gran to his clinic for ‘research.’ Val is horrified to find that
he is trying to seduce her mother, who has long denied Gran’s magic
and doesn’t see the threat. This is a book to relish: told in
Charnas’s nearly perfect first-person narration, Val’s engaging
personality of savoir-faire and innocence is judiciously mixed with
a flying carpet, a deliciously scary Indian witch and a wonderful
final confrontation in Central Park.”

Articulation
by Cesi Davidson
“In these fanciful, often hilarious plays you will discover a
fantastic variety of character—familiar nursery-rhyme figures who
work in a ninety-nine-cent store and bet on horses, bananas and
radishes, who discuss their ill-fated destinies, birds who sing songs
of unrequited love, time travelers who skip about from Caribbean
present-day to slavery-era Virginia, bunnies who meet in support
groups.''

The Rampant
by Julie C. Day
Equal parts playful and heartbreaking, this apocalyptic novella offers
one-of-a-kind answers about the end of the world....Day conveys
genuine empathy for the two young women, who are still learning about
themselves (including a sweet crush of Gillian’s), while never
relinquishing the archaic fear instilled by the presence of ancient
gods and the televangelists who have smoothly pivoted into running the
Sumerian Revivalist Church. This clever and surprisingly fun take on
the rapture is the perfect theological horror story.

Unbecoming
by Lesley Wheeler
“Lesley Wheeler’s Unbecoming is a delightful, beautifully written
21st-century gothic novel set at a Virginia university and also in the
borderlands between the literal and the metaphorical, between the
realistic and the fantastic. Like all universities, this one is a
school for wizards and conjurers. Professors offer portals to
undiscovered countries and enchanted lands. Portals lead to demons and
horror and death too. Cynthia has recently become English Department
Chair. She’s perimenopausal and coming into her blood-magic, witch
woman power. The English Department is a tiny realm, fighting other
more powerful realms at the University that would swallow any
beleaguered humanities discipline. How do we survive each other,
resist the demons or easy escape to a deadly realm that could destroy
us? How do we conjure a path to the world we want? Lesley Wheeler
says, ask the poets and the painters!”

Ancient Songs of Us
by Jean LeBlanc
The poems in Ancient Songs of Us suggest that no song is
“ancient,” that every story crosses time and transcends place to
remind us what it means to be human. Love, hatred, fury, longing,
ennui, sadness—these states of heart and mind in all their nuance hues
overflow from these poems.

City of a Thousand Feelings
by Anya Johanna DeNiro
"Anya DeNiro’s City of a Thousand Feelings is a huge fantasy epic with
a deeply intimate relationship story at its heart. I love these heroic
trans characters and their struggle to find, or build, a better
world. This story left me with a renewed faith in our collective
ability to make it through the wilderness and the assaults of undead
angels, and to create better families as we do so."
