RILEYNearly everyone who enters Elsberry leaves in one way or another, but I am the one constant. I am always here. I continue to remain. Time doesn't pass in days between these walls. It passes in people. The girl with peach pink hair who I loved in my head but never got the chance to speak to. The boy that swung from the stairwell because he couldn't love himself enough.Until Blair steps out of the back of that ambulance, time stops then. Her wrists are wrapped in gauze and her lips are bloodied, but she's more alive than anything else I've seen in some time. Dr. Demosi warns me that I'm fixating again, but what we have is real. I can feel it.The closer we get, the more I start to believe what they say about how I landed here. I could do it again too, if it means she won't leave me.BLAIRIf you'd told me three days ago I would still be breathing today, I wouldn't believe you. If you followed that with the knowledge that I'd find something close to love at Elsberry State Psychiatric Institution, I'd say you're full of shit. It's not written into my DNA. I'm incapable of it, right?Riley is beautiful in a macabre sort of way, with her dark, dead eyes and her hollow cheeks. Her voice is raspy and scratches my fucked up brain just right, like a number two pencil against grainy college-ruled paper. She's more like me than maybe I am myself, more out of her mind than I think she realizes. I could happily live in delusion with her forever, but there's one problem.I'm getting better. Everyday I work toward getting better with hopes of being released, while Riley is a lifer. Content with swimming in the pool of her illness for eternity, refusing to admit to what she did that landed her here in the first place. Once I find out what that is... it changes everything.

Cult author Alice Stoehr’s debut short fiction collection about the messy, intersecting lives of a community of Midwestern trans women. Again, Harder gathers the uncompromising short fiction of Alice Stoehr, which investigates the inner lives, evolving relationships, and often violent marginalization of a community of trans women in a large Midwestern town. In these stories, a commune of trans separatists seduces a suicidal writer. An obsessive TERF and the trans woman she’s fixated on circle one another with building intensity. Polyamorous triads bloom and wilt, hookup app messages fly, friends sit for post-surgical care, and women fall to the toxic allure of Dorothy Lipko, the worst ex-girlfriend you have ever known. Among this, there is regret, there is poverty, there is depression and sexual anxiety and despair; there is also fleeting, shared joy. Again, Harder is the sardonic heartbeat of a new generation of American trans women.

Solving her best friend's murder means infiltrating a secret society, resisting a forbidden love, and running from a vengeful ghost in this sophomore novel by the author of Together We Rot. Violet Harper knows her best friend was murdered. Even if everyone else has labeled her death a “freak accident,” Vi is sure she’d been trying to tell her something right before she died. Cryptic messages about her friend’s elite boarding school, her whirlwind romance, and the mysterious secret society she was entangled in all point to a more sinister fate. So, Violet does what no one else seems willing to do: She transfers to the same fancy school to dig into the society’s murky history and find out what really happened to her friend. She knows the truth might not be pretty, but what she doesn’t bargain for is the handsome boy at the center of it all—Calvin Lockwell, the brother of her prime suspect and descendant of the school’s founder. He’s obnoxious and privileged, and Violet can’t deny their haunting attraction. It soon becomes clear his family is hiding a dark secret that may not be of this world, and suddenly Violet’s following her friend’s doomed footsteps down the rabbit hole. Even as details emerge of a deadly curse plaguing the school, she can’t escape her true feelings for Calvin. But loving him may be the last thing she ever does.
