I am so, so thrilled about being able to write these words. It’s time to study necromancy. The gods will not enjoy this, but that doesn’t matter. Class is in session. Which is to say: my gothic, queer campus novel NECROGENESIS will be published by Del Rey in 2026!

The good news is that I will continue to give you updates as things roll along for my strange, gothic fantasy horror novel. We’re rolling into final edits, so I hope to have some other news soon, especially on fun things like cover reveals and blurbs and other promo items 🫀🥀

Transparently, these things happen a lot in publishing! Because I do not have any control over when my book comes out, you may just have to send your complaints up to god, because the situation is quite certainly above me.

I have an update on the release date for NECROGENESIS: it is now expected to be released in Spring 2027!

Playing FFVII Rebirth and I swear Sephiroth’s character model is based on a real life actor/singer/celeb but I can’t find any information online about it 😭

same exact vibe as long as you don’t think about it

Bonus points if they’re recently published! I just need a solid plot and good worldbuilding outside of character dynamics, please and thank you

what are some optimistic fantasy novels that feature happy-ish endings without sacrificing depth? i’m getting a little burnt out on realism that’s actually just pessimism in disguise

well

@dancingofpens I have to rewatch it now! Beautiful gorgeous film

Eve’s Bayou has a v different vibe from a Sofia Coppola film (southern gothic for sure), but it definitely explores black girlhood in a way I definitely related to. Beautiful film and can’t believe it was a debut feature — Kasi Lemmons, 1997.
