Marat's Invisible Man is Alive 🫀 @maratearendel.bsky.social · 18h

Gothic fiction has been my favourite since I can remember. As much as I adore vampires, skeletons & damsels, sometimes I want something different. I knew that writing a story about an invisible man wouldn't be as popular as gay vampires. I mean, if you really want a gay vampire, AMAV has one too!

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Belated reminder to check out my list of queer SF/F/H book releases for September 2026! We’ve got 40+ new books to devour—or be devoured by. 🌈📚 🪐📚 kilagreene.bearblog.dev/september-2026

Cover of the book BODIES OF MAGIC, by Freya Marske. It features art of a looming stone building, with structures that look like bronchi spreading like tree branches through the gloomy sky behind the building.

Cover of the book THOUGHTS BE BLOODY, by Auden Patrick. It features art of a light-skinned person with shaggy brown hair, head tipped back, splattered with paint that matches the off-white background color. There are four small birds flying around the person’s neck and chin area.

Cover of the book LIGHT & EARTH & MARROW, by Jeannie Marschall. It features art of a small building with a moonlit night sky behind it. Beneath the building, roots reach down to where small creatures appear to frolic underground.

Cover of the book TO OUR UNTAMED CORE, by Sonido Reyes. It has art of a muscular, short-haired person looking to the right, lit up by sunlight, with four Mesoamerican pyramids rising in the background.
