Sinopse

'Ransom has written a hypnotic and even more mysterious second novel…This is a lust-drenched, ache-filled gay love triangle of sorts that gnarls into a sly emotional thriller. The Gallopers is a whispered howl of a novel'  Guardian
Picked by the Guardian as one of the biggest novels to look out for in 2024.
When a giant sperm whale washes up on the local beach it tells Joe Gunner that death will follow him wherever he goes. Joe knows that the place he needs to go is back home. Having stormed out two years ago, it won't be easy, nor will returning to the haunted river beside the house where words ripple beneath the surface washing up all sorts of memories. Joe turns to his sister, Birdee, the only person who has ever listened. But she can't help him, she drowned two years ago. Then there's Tim Fysh, local fisherman and long-time lover. But reviving their bond is bound to be trouble. As the water settles and Joe learns the truth about the river, he finds that we all have the capability to hate, and that we can all make the choice not to. Ransom's fractured, distinctive prose highlights the beauty and brutality of his story, his extraordinarily vivid sense of place saturates the reader with the wet of the river, and the salty tang of the sea.

Not being able to feel pain might sound like heaven . . . but it's a living hell. 
 
 
 
After enduring more than a year of imprisonment and experimentation, Ash is finally free—but not unscathed.

Drew is handsome, caring, and kind, but he might not be all he seems, and he's suffering his own ill effects of his briefer imprisonment. When he burst into Ash's cell drenched in blood after ripping their torturers to pieces, Ash looked into his eyes and didn't see anything but safety. 
 
 
 
But he's dangerous. And if he can't control himself, Ash could suffer a worse fate than the one he escaped . . .

A war of the roses ignites between feuding small-town neighbors in this fun, slow-burn lesbian romance.
Retired master florist Kate Willow moved to remote Serenity Springs for one thing: peace. All she wants is a glass of wine, her creaky rocking chair, and the company of her horse, Moose.
Her effervescent neighbor Margot Reed is sunshine and glitter-soaked chaos who just won't leave her alone. Worse, Margot's wild, messy garden ruins Kate's tranquil view and chafes her fraying nerves.
Their simmering rivalry ignites every year at the Rose Festival. Margot has won for five years straight—a crown Kate is determined to reclaim.
But when a crisis forces them to work together, they discover beneath the passive-aggressive barbs an unlikely attraction is starting to bloom.

The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. 
Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. 
As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. 
In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience. 
This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.
