Jaelyn 🏳️‍🌈Holy fuck. So Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg on the face of it is a re-imagining of the 18th century outlaw Jack Sheppard via a faux uncovered memoir revealing Jack to be a trans man. The text itself is "discovered" and edited by the author with numerous, very comedic footnotes. What starts out as translating a very long list of period slang for pussy begins to bleed into the narrative with metatextual discussions on gender, publishing, policing and capitalism. If you ever wanted a raunchy queer period drama with commentary that is one part stand-up, one part revolutionary treaties, then this is for you. <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/QueerBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Queer</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/TransBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trans</a>

Jaelyn 🏳️‍🌈These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart (Izzy Wasserstein) – This is a cyberpunk noir novella about a trans woman who returns to her anarchist commune in the decaying remnants of Kansas City. Dora is as unwelcome as her parting shots were when she stormed out years ago, but now she's the only one who can solve the murder of her ex. Caught between two warring pharmaceutical companies, Dora faces shadows of her past.I thought this was a lot of fun and really had a good noir vibe to Dora's perspective. Given it's quite short, I think there was an opportunity to add a little more to make her a little more well-rounded, flesh out the supporting characters a bit and add more dynamics to the commune (as much as I feel this with every novella, I'm starting to like the simplicity that comes with brevity). I did nevertheless enjoy it and it was paced well for its length. Avoiding spoilers here, but I also liked the trans take on a particular old sci-fi trope and how it played into a good discussion about the nature of identity. <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/QueerBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Queer</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/TransBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trans</a>

Jaelyn 🏳️‍🌈The Spirit Bares Its Teeth (Andrew Joseph White) – In an alternate 1883, The Veil between the living and the dead thinned and purple-eyed mediums speak with the dead under the auspices of the Royal Speaker Society. That is, male purple-eyed mediums; women born with those spiritual eyes are barred from spirit work and are treated as nothing more than breeding stock for the Speakers regardless of their age.Enter 16yo Silas, to be married off by the end of the year. Despite having those valuable purple eyes, Silas isn't a perfect daughter, or even a daughter. A lifetime of being bullied into masking his autism, his transness and his proficiency in surgery has left him desperate to escape. But when his attempt to flee is uncovered, he is thrown into a brutal asylum for women suffering from a vague "Veil sickness". There, the spirits of women murdered within its walls beg for help, and for Silas to run before it is too late.Despite the fantastical elements, all of this tracks very closely to the brutal Victorian practices on surgery and mental health. Despite a lot of horror around beatings and vivisection, I felt most chilled by the constant thread of helplessness. The helplessness that comes from never being believed simply for who you are, of having everyone you could turn to being complicit in your horror, and being constantly weighed down by a lifetime of abuse for who you are. I felt deeply for Silas and the women imprisoned there and the book expertly conveys Silas' internal doubts and fears. I felt trapped alongside him which perhaps also shows how deeply personal some of these themes can be.<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/QueerBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Queer</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Horror</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/TransBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trans</a>

Jaelyn 🏳️‍🌈Otherworldly (F.T. Lukens) – A small region is stuck in a perpetual winter. Offerings from locals to the goddess to bring spring have gone unanswered. Ellery, no longer believing in the gods, leaves his family’s frozen farm to work in a city diner to help support his family trying to scrape by with greenhouses to grow crops.When Ellery meets Knox, a runaway familiar from the Other World, his understanding of the world and the perpetual winter is thrown upside down. Ellery helps protects Knox from the shades who seek to drag him back in exchange for finding out the truth about the winter. But as Ellery helps Knox experience more of human life, they both begin to feel more than they bargained for.This is a very cute YA romance with an enby protagonist, an adorably OTT sapphic couple and contemporary magic with goddesses and underworlds to boot. The characters are lovely even if Ellery has that teenage insufferability sometimes (just stop antagonising demigods for once, please).<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/QueerBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#QueerBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Queer</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBTQ</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/TransBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransBooks</a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trans</a>
