Howdy! I love to read several books at a time, especially queer horror and speculative fiction. Books with strong world-building, unreliable narrators, vivid imagery and challenging concepts are my mainstay. When I’m not sucked into a compelling novel, I like to read nonfiction about gender and sexuality, Black cowboys and animals. I also LOVE horror movies and animation. My favorite films combine compelling composition, set design and art direction. Bonus points for practical effects!

Drop me a line if you want recommendations or just to talk about books, movies, music or video games! 

Favorite authors: Octavia E. Butler, Gretchen Felker-Martin, Cadwell Turnbull, Gengoroh Tagame

Favorite directors/animators: Park Chan-Wook, Bong Joon-Ho, Ridley Scott, Dev Patel, Hayao Miyazaki, James Baxter

Reading the Resistance: Palestine

Here is a collection of titles by and about Palestinians. These titles not only focus on the oppression, hardship and pain caused by the occupation, but the joy, beauty and light that Palestinians share despite the ongoing genocide. Try one of these titles if you want to learn more about our Palestinian brothers and sisters. No one is free until everybody is free.
