Of Beasts

M. Jane Worma

In this queer horror novel debut, a priest falls in love with the antichrist and even God can’t stop the horror it will bring. Dante, a protestant young man, and Jude, a sadistic pastor of a small Texas church, harbor a terrible secret from the world; they’re together. The two share a taboo and passionate relationship in hidden peace, until the dreams start. God speaks to them in visions of smoke and fire, night after night, until the two of them come to a truth they cannot ignore; Dante is the Antichrist, sent by God and urged to start off the apocalypse. Dante refuses to participate in the end of the world and the damnation of souls. But Jude is a loyal pastor, indifferent to the suffering of others, and is compelled to do what God tells him; even if it means killing the love of his life. This queer horror love story hones in on the humanity of the Antichrist, a half-human entity as flawed, complex, and doomed as any other soul. With lyrical prose reminiscent of Clive Barker, blasphemy is redefined and love is tested. In Of Beasts, Worma explores if love is enough for someone born to be evil.

Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 1

Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù

Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedicated study and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise may also fall, and fall he does--cast from the heavens and banished to the world below. Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time, angering most of the gods in the process. To repay his debts, he is sent to the Mortal Realm to hunt down violent ghosts and troublemaking spirits who prey on the living. Along his travels, he meets the fascinating and brilliant San Lang, a young man with whom he feels an instant connection. Yet San Lang is clearly more than he appears... What mysteries lie behind that carefree smile? This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) is the newest work from author Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, and has spawned an ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world--including the animated series (donghua) that amassed 100+ million views in just its first month. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include covers from 日出的小太陽 (tai3_3), and exclusive, all-new interior illustrations from ZeldaCW.

The Most Unusual Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy

Roan Parrish

Jamie Wendon-Dale may design haunted houses, but they don't actually believe in ghosts—until they meet Edgar Lovejoy, who is tall, clever, beautiful…and 100% haunted. A COZY, GHOSTLY LGBTQIA+ ROMANCE Jamie Wendon-Dale creates haunted houses for a living. Haunting is their life—but nobody working New Orleans' spooky circuit actually believes in ghosts. Edgar Lovejoy is 100% haunted. No, really. Ghosts have tormented him since childhood and he's organized his life around attempts to avoid them. Opposites? Get ready to attract. But while Jamie's biggest concern is that Edgar sometimes seems a bit distracted, Edgar's fears are much greater. Not only is he scared of encountering the dearly departed whenever he leaves the house, but he's terrified of making himself vulnerable to Jamie. After all, how do you tell someone who believes ghosts only exist as smoke and mirrors that you see them everywhere you go? And how can you trust in a happy future when you can't even believe in yourself? A little spooky, a little magical, and a whole lot The (Most Unusual) Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy will leave you feeling like you've found a brand new bookish family of your own.

Thoughts from 99% : Novel-Included Post-Story Notes

I am so MAD! I should not have to skim every book in physical version in order to find out which ones play around with cool formatting!!!! …I wish audiobooks would mention it before they start so I don’t miss so many fun, and, for those who it is accessible — vital experience opportunities.

That said the audiobook is PHENOMENALLY done. So I can’t recommend anything but BOTH reading it physically and with audio.

Gayest book Recs?

Spicy gay book recs please! (With tons of cussing!)

You know why I’m asking 😂

Editing this for the people who don’t know the lore there was a post about wanting “clean” , “low lgbt” books with little to no cussing and I had too post this to combat that. Anyone who saw my comment on the og post knows I don’t actually like spice in my lit (fan fic and 🌽 fill that particular void) but some of these recommendations sound wildly interesting (I somehow haven’t seen any chuck tingle yet?! But I’m still working though the comments)

Audiobooks with that Oomph ✨

Hello fellow readers! I would like to ask for recommendations for audiobooks that you think are extra special because there are elements of the story that are better expressed in that medium.

Examples of books that work better as audiobooks I’ve heard about:

Project Hail Mary (iykyk because of certain sounds)
Daisy Jones and The Six (because of the documentary interview style)

Or they could just have amazing narrators. I’ve tried looking at lists but I would love to hear the reasons behind why it’s better as an audiobook!

Thank you an have a great day! ✨✨✨

The Martian

Andy Weir

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Ennemies to lovers recommendation

Hiii! I’m looking for enemies to lovers recs because I’m obsessed with that trope!

But I feel like it’s so hard to find really good ones. Most of the time it’s marketed as enemies to lovers, but to me it’s just people who had one argument or a misunderstanding… like that’s not really enemies. I loved Captive Prince so much and ever since then I haven’t been able to find anything that hits the same. If anyone has real enemies to lovers recs, please share ^^

Grumpy x Grumpy friendship

Any recs where the characters are different flavors of grumpy but still have a fun and loving dynamic? Not looking for romance, though I'm open to a romance book that features grumpy platonic relationships.

Asking 100% for myself, a grump with many (adorable) grump friends. I'm tired of all the "best friend" characters being sassy and outgoing or just rays of sunshine! I want herds of cat friendship representation.

My usual genres are (non-horror) SFF and literary fiction, but I am open to most except for super violent horror.

What’s a real life romantic experience you’ve had that felt straight out of a book?

What’s something you’ve lived that sounds like it happened in a romance novel ♥️
