    Bad news: you've gone to heaven, but it's a terrible English country village in space and your neighbors are not respecting your neurodivergence. Better climb the mountain that is God!

    EX-WIVES OF DRACULA

    Could small-town football hero Coach Bakula not be what he seems??  A campy clusterfuck, three teen movies at once, and very enjoyable.

    THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS

    THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS

    A support group for failed messiahs, a device to torture grad students by making them look at a door, the world's funniest surface to air missile - all this and more in a first novel that has no business being this good.

    THESE BURNING STARS

    There's a good book in here! A real noir psychodrama in space. Unfortunately there's also a lot of stuff about space jews.

The WizLes genre’s finest books

This is the genre of books and the taste in critique I needed. I’ve read many of these but I do enjoy their takes. Great show I’m glad they’re making it

Rocannon R ,

It’s introducing me to a lot of great books.

Is queer desire the revolutionary moment? I’ll be thinking about the nuances of this question for as long as this podcast runs and a good while after.

A perfect reading list

I've been absolutely burning through this show and the books it covers, you two are my favorite source of reading recommendations at this point. I would (and have, repeatedly) totally recommend this podcast to anyone interest in queer SFF.
