Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "You don't need dysphoria to be trans. You don't need a body at all.When Detective Sean Hastings is asked to investigate the disappearance of Character, he enters the First Trans Commune in Sim World, a virtual reality cult community imagineered by transfluencer Kevin, and bankrolled by a mysterious tech company, VSI.Haunted by the death of his cis gayguy college bestie and their shared diasporic dilemmas, Taylor, VSIs token QTPOC face, sees potential in Kevins ability to Release trauma into the virtual world. Meanwhile, Casey, Seans ex, hopes Releasing will cure their Long Plague. Then femme fatale Mitchelle reappears. And the plot twists.A pulpy neo-noir romp through the anxiously assimilated transmasculine id, Jaw Filler asks: who is VSI, and what do they really want? Can you be your own dad? And if Characters mind is trapped in Sim World, then where is his body?Theres something faintly Brazil about Jaw Filler: wilful and breakneck, self-aware yet never cynical, paranoiac but always coyly unarguably plausible. Calling it a pastiche would be stupid. To do so would overlook not only the ravenous delight Jaw Filler takes in the melange of its genre conventions, but also, more importantly, its surgical commitment to grounding a narrative in what I can only succinctly describe as genocide-reality. Murray & Markbreiter have achieved the extremely contemporary and impossible to falsify: true camp darkness. - Hesse K., author of Disquiet Drive'Jaw Filler instantly joins the canon of outlier literature: jaw-dropper, more like. - Isabel Waidner, author of Sterling Karat Gold'Jaw Filler strikes a rare and clever balance: it lampoons its genre while flawlessly exemplifying it. Filled with femme fatales, hard-boiled detectives, and corrupt corporate supervillains, Charlie and Maz have crafted an immersive, twisting neo-noir that surprises to the very last word. Hilarious as it is riveting, Jaw Filler exploits the most exciting themes of the classic crime thriller, like mistaken identity and lovers scorn, and applies them to contemporary queer life in a way that feels surprisingly natural and profound. Its like The Sluts meets Double Indemnity but everyone is trans. I had an absolute blast. - Macy RodmanMaz Murray and Charlie Markbreiters Jaw Filler is a sharp, satirical neo-noir that blends pulp detective tropes with the surreal textures of online trans culture, skewering influencer economies, corporate DEI doublespeak, and queer assimilation while still capturing the raw ache of longing, shame, and desire. Weird, funny, and unsettling. - P. Eldridge, Worms World CIC'With Jaw Filler, Charlie Markbreiter and Maz Murray offer a searing, noir-flavored lens into the world of terminally online guys and our insecurities, fantasies, and wild imaginations of ourselves and each other. I will be discussing this in therapy and billing Charlie and Maz for the expense.' - James TomAgainst the fashion of autotheory and autofiction, Markbreiter and Murray prove how parody, genre fiction and a good plot have become more unnervingly suitable forms for cultural critique in trans literature. Whilst never letting dystopia stop a good joke, Jaw Filler ribs the unflattering and often narcissistic consequences of a liberal trans politics without losing sight of the more insidious infrastructures that propagate them, exemplifying post-identity trans literature in the disconcerting era of Big Tech. - Donna Marcus Duke, TISSUE" Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
