Paperback. Condition: Good. NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD AND THE SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD!  Annihilation meets Manhunt in this gloriously queer psychedelic trip into the heart of an eldritch wood and the horrors of (cis)terhood. I see something out there, in the woods. It does not have a face. They call it the King's Breakfast. One bite and you can understand the full scope of the universe; one bite and you can commune with forgotten gods beyond human comprehension. And it only grows deep in the Pamogo forest, where the trees crowd so tight that the forest floor is pitch black day and night, where rumors of disappearing hikers and strange cults that worship the divine feminine abound. Sarah is a trans woman who makes her living growing mushrooms. When a bad harvest leaves her in a desperate fix, the lure of the King's Breakfast has her journeying into those vast uncharted woods. But as she descends deeper, she realizes she's not alone. Something in the forest is waking up. It's hungry--and it wants her.  ★ "A bizarre and fiercely original splatterpunk phantasmagoria of queerness. Deranged and gleefully weird as f*ck, this is an impressive debut from a singular literary talent." --Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke ★ "As eldritch and grimy as the terrifying forest it's set in. I loved this book!" --Trevor Henderson, author of Scarewaves  ★ "Weird, wild, and oh-so-wretched, Moonflow is the trans botanical horror we need in the world right now." --Drew Huff, author of The Divine Flesh ★ "Is it legal to have this much fun reading a book? I'm in awe of Karella's incredible gift for creating biting satire. I had a f*cking blast." --Joe Koch, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author of The Wingspan of Severed Hands.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Wicker Man meets The Twisted Ones in Bitter Karella's Quaint Folk-a queer folk horror novel that peels back the idyllic veneer of a perfectly quaint island town to reveal the rot beneath. From the outside, it looks like Jessica has the perfect life. She's a stay-at-home mom, married to a man with a respectable job, raising a son they adore. Her family is as wholesome as all-American pie. But deep down, Jessica knows there's something wrong with her; she knows she can't escape her past. When her husband's job has them move abroad, Jessica thinks this is her chance for a fresh start. On the remote island of Hasenhurst, the modern world can't get in. The people there grow their own herbs, make their own jam, and mind their own business. They believe in folk tales and the power of dreams. They tell visitors, we're a quaint, quiet people. The right sort of family would do well here. Jessica is determined to be the right kind of person for a family-and a life-like this. But as she tries to befriend the townsfolk and learn their ways, she soon realizes that beneath the town's cosy idyll, something sickly-sweet and rotten lays buried.'Quaint Folk must be experienced for oneself, in all of its folklorist, fever-dream glory . . . the vibes are immaculate, especially for readers looking for something that's equal parts quirky and creepy'Booklist'To experience Bitter Karella's cheerfully unhinged fiction is to surrender to a spectacularly fierce and uncompromising literary force.
