Hails, beautiful booksellers!
It's been a long time coming, but in less than two weeks, YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM releases!
2022's YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY has remained one of our strongest evergreen sellers ever since its release; and frankly, we think the extraordinary cohesion and quality of this not-a-sequel more than speaks for itself.
Read YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM in its entirety.
And here's the original YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY!
About YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM:
PERSISTENT HORRORS DEMAND PERSISTENT REBELLION
The spiritual successor to 2022's acclaimed and beloved anthology YOUR BODY IS NOT YOUR BODY has entered local airspace. Prepare for transmission:
A gunslinger in possession of an apocalyptic text that would end the oligarchy flees a corporate death-squad with the aid of their eight-legged talking horse.
A linguist's body transforms to better make use of the alien language they are translating.
A miracle elixir that was never supposed to work sets loose something rather beautiful-via email.
The argument of whether it's pornography or art persists across the universe.
Creatures from separate worlds find each other-and love?-in the depths of the sea.
🔺🔺🔺A F%#KED UP CENTAUR FILLS YOU UP WITH TRIANGLES🔺🔺🔺
Starving artists learn that the price of a mouthful of immortality is never too high.
Over thirty Trans and Gender Nonconforming creators unite to voice their existential questions in this anthology featuring unreality, bog witches, snake-oilers, artistic misunderstandings, architectural misgivings, several languages that may or may not exist, exorcisms, in-xorcisms, illustrations, and a fishing horror RPG.
Proceeds from YOUR BODY IS A FEVER DREAM will go to the Trans Legal Services Network and Trans Doe Task Force.

Allison Mick's DIVE arrives November 17th
Our final title of 2026 has already been drumming up a significant amount of attention; in fact, Library Journal will be running a starred review of DIVE next month!
DIVE is comedic Lit-horror that effortlessly juggles an eccentric cast of barflies, burned-out rockstars and lowlifes through a series of Weird scenarios, culminating in a shocking and unforgettable climax that ties the loose threads together.
About DIVE:
DRINK UP WITH THE DREAMERS, THE DESPERATE, AND THE DAMNED
Welcome to The Liz: a legendary Oakland punk bar with a fiercely loyal clientele of skull-cracked musicians, aspiring comedians, fans, hangers-on, and vampires.
Learn its sordid history; set some banks on fire; skirt a little too close to radical new film technology; volunteer for experiments that make you physically crave art-and the people who make it; and hear the joke that kills every cop who hears it (don’t worry, you'll be fine, we think).
Author & comedian Allison Mick guides you through interconnected horror stories alternately gross, funny, and heartbreaking, and shows you why every story in The Liz makes a killing.
Cover art by Matias San Juan.

“Mick’s prose drips with the urgency of a newly converted punk rocker while still capturing the malaise of an older generation choking on an immutable world gone mad.”
Jacy Morris, We Like it Cherry, One Shot
“A vivid, nasty trip so dank that you'll feel like you're snorting blow off the seat of the men's room toilet (complimentary)."
Bitter Karella, Moonflow
