A dark and bloody queer horror novel where the HIV-positive protagonist has to brave a dystopian landscape and zombie apocalypse to scavenge the medication he needs to keep himself alive. Violent, twisted, transgressive, and original. @mrwarrenwagner.bsky.social sbee.link/6rxgj4k3y8

Look at this cool staff pick shoutout from White Oak Books about @mrwarrenwagner.bsky.social's THE ONLY SAFE PLACE LEFT IS THE DARK! 😍😍😍

Staff pick from Charlie: One of my favorite horror novellas! Short & sweet, perfect for getting out of a reading slump - yet incredibly layered story. I loved how Warren Wagner weaves queer history of the AIDS epidemic in the story's time setting. This novella captures my two interests: horror and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Wagner’s book brilliantly references AIDS. In the last act of my/Romero’s THE LIVING DEAD, we used zombies to talk about elder care/hospice. Romero’s great gift to the world was the zombie as metaphor — so use it.

I finished THE ONLY SAFE PLACE LEFT IS THE DARK by @mrwarrenwagner.bsky.social and it was one of the most emotionally powerful zombie stories I’ve ever read. Some of that is the way it entwines survivors of the AIDS epidemic with a zombie apocalypse. And some of it is because the zombies do THIS

all they had was skin to hold their bones.
With their tissue slowly rotting away, every movement threatened to tear them open.
Creating a gash that would never heal. Their hopes, their dreams, their memories, all of those were still there. They aren't dead yet, but they aren't alive either. The Afflicted are still conscious. They can feel, and they can scream. They can beg for death. But they can't move their own bodies anymore. That job belongs to the virus now.
Warren Wagner
The Only Safe Place Left is the Dark

"Please kill me!" one of the Afflicted begs as Quinton picks up his axe and plants it into the poor bastard's skull.
Warren Wagner
The Only Safe Place Left is the Dark

One of them runs up to Todd, begging for forgiveness at what they both know is about to happen. Its teeth tear into Todd's wound, making it larger while both Todd and the Afflicted scream in horror together at what is taking place.
As Todd's blood pours into the Afflicted's mouth, they both think about how this is the first time either of them have been held by another in a very long time.

In honor of being here on Bluesky, I am unretiring THE CUBAN MISSILE’S WRITING ADVICE MEGATHREAD. I do this knowing earnestness is cringe-worthy and Pollyanna-ish optimism about the profession of writing is not often appreciated. That’s why it’s time to talk about failure and how to deal with it. 1/
