Queer Literature!

[appleAlc]

In terms of fiction, I can heartily recommend The Locked Tomb. The series is currently unfinished, but I think it’s pretty powerfully written in a way that can get lost beneath the snark of the first book’s narration. I will say that it’s thematically more about religious faith, socioeconomic class, and colonialism than navigating queerness, but this does not preclude it from being queer fiction. Genre-wise, I would refer to it as Weird Fiction or Weird Science Fiction. Muir is playing in a space between fantasy, science fiction, and horror, doing so quite well imo. Also, butch protagonists specifically seem comparatively rare in many genres of fiction, and Gideon Nav and, arguably, Harrowhark Nonagesimus are refreshing to see.
