    Requesting trans MCs written by trans authors

    Hi everyone,

    my queer bookclub wants to give queer horror a try. Specifically, we'd like to read stories about trans people (trans men, trans women, non-binary folks, anyone who isn't cis) written by trans people. I have a hard time suggesting titles; I can name several trans authors, but the MCs in their books are cis-gender, or maybe I'm not aware that an MC is trans in cases of books on my TBR. The books also need to have been translated and many I read aren't... (Edit: They need to have been translated to my language, it's not a challenge to read books translated to English or anything! Just throw your recs at me and I'll check if they are available in our language, and if not, I might still recommend them in case we have trouble finding translated works that meet our criteria 🙂) Any help is appreciated! Bonus points for non-binary MCs written by non-binary authors!

    I've tried Margaret Killjoy in the past and don't get along with their writing (nothing against Killjoy, it's just not for me), so I'd rather not recommend a book by them 😅

    Chuck Tingle

    So ngl I am pretty bad at recognising authors and celebrities ect but the name Chuck Tingle was familiar. Turns out I have read Bury Your Gays, hence why I recognised it but... all these other titles? Hello? Seems I have hit on two relatively normal ones first huh

    "Other people have said it's a role similar to things like a camp counselor, servant leader, coach, etc."

    I know that's a leadership style, but like a style doesn't fit alongside job titles??? unless that is a job title being listed??

    Idk for a book this expensive I'd expect a bit more from it. And some basic proof reading (I don't think "wdirect' is a word)? The quality of the ink used is really bad as well, it's so incredibly shiny it makes it very hard to read + the feeling of the paper feels horrible 😭

    So far it's also just been generic stuff that common sense would tell you. Which I guess is validating that I'm on the right track but I'm also pretty sure I've read a lot of this on her free newsletters
