Annihilation

Jeff VanderMeer

Area X has been cut off from the rest of the world for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition. The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one another, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself. They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

Queer: A Graphic History (Graphic Guides)

Meg-John Barker

Activist-academic Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele illuminate the histories of queer thought and LGBTQ+ action in this groundbreaking non-fiction graphic novel. From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion, Queer explores how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology, psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged. Along the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what’s ‘normal’ – Alfred Kinsey’s view of sexuality as a spectrum, Judith Butler’s view of gendered behaviour as a performance, the play Wicked, or moments in Casino Royale when we’re invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media. Presented in a brilliantly engaging and witty style, this is a unique portrait of the universe of queer thinking.

Shout out to Hoopla for putting this in my recommendations, because 🥵🥵🥵🥵

I am a simple woman. I saw this cover art and was captivated. When I saw that this was a queer comic written by a woman, ~~my soul~~the deal was sealed. I couldn’t click “borrow” fast enough.

Lilith is a gory, sexy, supernatural good time. It’s a little bit campy and it’s a lot delicious. The art is absolutely stunning, and so effective. Every panel is lush. I’m interested in all of the characters and I’m so curious about the world. Lilith also has a demon/monster cat that I am obsessed with.

While I am interested in all of the characters, I did feel that they were missing some depth. Hopefully they are more fleshed out in the next volume. (More Lilith is coming this October!) I also want to see a bit more from the worldbuilding. There was a lot of action in this volume and while I did find it captivating and fun to read, I was more interested in the other elements just for my personal preference.

I cannot wait to see what Howell has in store for Lilith next!!! If you love gory horror and supernatural sapphics, you’ll love Lilith!
