  Wen Apollo dreams of seeing the world beyond the small riverside town where she grew up. But operating the local mailboat keeps her tethered to Coopersville. Islands dot the river, and their residents rely on her to deliver everything from food and medicine to pet food and plumbing supplies. 
   
   
   
  On a raw spring day, Wen goes to Owl Island—the summer home of the illustrious Gage family—to deliver a package. It's addressed to the family's oldest daughter, Estelle, a woman Wen has long admired from afar. 
   
   
   
  Estelle Gage fled to the islands seeking solitude and an escape. With the deadline for her latest novel fast approaching, her sole focus is to write. But when the handsome mailboat captain shows up on her doorstep, writing is no longer the only thing on her mind. 
   
   
   
  A steady stream of packages continues to bring Wen back to Owl Island—and to Estelle. But as summer looms, so does the impending arrival of Estelle's family. The return of the Gages will most certainly spell the end to Estelle and Wen's idyllic time cloistered together on the island. What will that mean for their budding relationship?

  A reimagining of Dracula's voyage to England, filled with Gothic imagery and queer desire. 
   
   
   
  It's an ordinary assignment, nothing more. The cargo? Fifty boxes filled with Transylvanian soil. The route? From Varna to Whitby. The Demeter has made many trips like this. The captain has handled dozens of crews. 
   
   
   
  He dreams familiar dreams: to taste the salt on the skin of his men, to run his hands across their chests. He longs for the warmth of a lover he cannot have, fantasizes about flesh and frenzied embraces. All this he's done before, it's routine, a constant, like the tides. 
   
   
   
  Yet there's something different, something wrong. There are odd nightmares, unsettling omens and fear. For there is something in the air, something in the night, someone stalking the ship. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  He said he'd only bite me once. Then twice. 
  Now I'm not human anymore— 
  and neither is our love. 
    
  Fangs & Honey is a searing queer vampire romance about two boys who were never meant to belong to each other… and yet bite by bite, they fall deeper than blood can carry. 
    
  Noah was just a lonely boy looking for warmth. Lucien was the vampire who didn't believe he could still feel it. 
  Their connection was supposed to be a secret. A survival pact. A passing hunger. 
    
  But when the second bite awakens something monstrous inside Noah—and the third bite binds them forever—love becomes the most dangerous craving of all. 
    
  Hunted by the vampire council. Haunted by a boy long dead. Torn between moans and monsters, they must decide: 
    
  Are they each other's salvation? Or destruction? 
    
  Laced with blood, sex, obsession, and the ache of forbidden touch, Fangs & Honeyis perfect for fans of Heartstopper with fangs, Call Me By Your Name if they bit, and Hannibal, but gayer and hotter. 
    
  They didn't fall in love. They bled into it. 
  (Book One of the Fangs & Honey MirrorBlood series)

  What can we hope for at the end of the world? What can we trust in when community has broken our hearts? What would it mean to pursue justice without violence? How can we love in the absence of faith? 
   
   
   
  In a heartbreaking yet hopeful collection of personal essays and prose poems, blending the confessional, political, and literary, Kai Cheng Thom dives deep into the questions that haunt social movements today. With the author's characteristic eloquence and honesty, I Hope We Choose Love proposes heartfelt solutions on the topics of violence, complicity, family, vengeance, and forgiveness. Taking its cues from contemporary thought leaders in the transformative justice movement such as adrienne maree brown and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, this provocative book is a call for nuance in a time of political polarization, for healing in a time of justice, and for love in an apocalypse.
