Alison Rumfitt's Tell Me I'm Worthless is a dark, unflinching haunted house story that confronts both supernatural and real-world horrors through the lens of the modern-day trans experience."Alison is like the twisted daughter of Clive Barker and Shirley Jackson. Tell Me I'm Worthless is an intense read full of shocks and buckets of gore. It's brilliant." -Joe Hill, New York Times bestselling author"A triumph of transgressive queer horror." -Publishers Weekly, STARRED reviewThree years ago, Alice spent one night in an abandoned house with her friends, Ila and Hannah. Since then, Alice's life has spiraled. She lives a haunted existence, selling videos of herself for money, going to parties she hates, drinking herself to sleep. Memories of that night torment Alice, but when Ila asks her to return to the House, to go past the KEEP OUT sign and over the sick earth where teenagers dare each other to venture, Alice knows she must go.Together, Alice and Ila must face the horrors that happened there, must pull themselves apart from the inside out, put their differences aside, and try to rescue Hannah, whom the House has chosen to make its own.Cutting, disruptive, and darkly funny, Tell Me I'm Worthless is a vital work of trans fiction that examines the devastating effects of trauma and how fascism makes us destroy ourselves and each other."Easily one of the strongest horror debuts in recent memory." -Booklist, STARRED reviewAlso by Alison Rumfitt:Brainwyrms

Heartfelt personal accounts from transgender people fighting for the right to serve in the military "Prior to coming out as transgender I served the first several years of my career under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," hiding my sexual orientation out of the constant fear of expulsion. I then found myself in the same predicament as when I first joined, wanting nothing more than to serve my country and do my job, but at the cost of sacrificing a major part of who I am. . . . This time, however, I decided that I could no longer sacrifice my own well-being, my own authentic self."-Mak Vaden, Warrant Officer 1, U.S. Army National Guard, 2006-present"I have traveled around the world. . . . I have been on five cutters with eleven years of sea time and commanded the Coast Guard cutter Campbell. I have negotiated treaties and fostered international law enforcement cooperation. I have stopped drug smugglers and seized illegal fishing vessels on the high seas. And, I also have gender dysphoria and identify as a trans woman."-Allison Caputo, Captain, US Coast Guard, 1995-presentOn January 25, 2021, in one of his first acts as President, Joe Biden reversed the Trump Administration's widely condemned ban on transgender people in the military. In With Honor and Integrity, Máel Embser-Herbert and Bree Fram introduce us to the brave individuals who are on the front lines of this issue, assembling a powerful, accessible, and heartfelt collection of first-hand accounts from transgender military personnel in the United States. Featuring twenty-six essays from current service members or veterans, these eye-opening accounts show us what it is like to serve in the military as a transgender person. From a religious affairs specialist in the Army National Guard, to a petty officer first class in the Navy, to a veteran of the Marine Corps who became "the real me" at age forty-nine, these accounts are personal, engaging, and refreshingly honest. Contributors share their experiences from before and during President Trump's ban-what barriers they face at work, why they do or don't choose to serve openly, and how their colleagues have treated them. Fram, a lieutenant colonel who is serving openly as a transgender woman in the US Space Force, and has advocated for open service policies, shares her experience in the aftermath of Trump's announcement of the ban on Twitter. Ultimately, Embser-Herbert and Fram provide an inspiring look at the past, present, and future of transgender military service. At a time when LGBTQ rights are under siege, and the opportunity to serve continues to be challenged, With Honor and Integrity is a timely and necessary read.

A gender-fluid trickster character leaps from Cree stories to inhabit this racous and rebellious new work by poet Louise Bernice Halfe. There are no pronouns in Cree for gender; aw'sis (which means illuminated child) reveals herself through shape-shifting, adopting different genders, exploring the English language with merriment, and sharing his journey of mishaps with humor, mystery, and spirituality. Opening with a joyful and intimate Introduction from Elder Maria Campbell, aw'sis - kinky and dishevelled is a force of Indigenous resurgence, resistance, and soul-healing laughter. If you've read Halfe's previous books, prepared to be surprised by this one. Raging in the dark, uncovering the painful facts wrought on her and her people's lives by colonialism, racism, religion, and residential schools, she has walked us through raw realities with unabashed courage and intense, precise lyricism. But for her fifth book, another choice presented itself. Would she carve her way with determined ferocity into the still-powerful destructive forces of colonialism, despite Canada's official, hollow promises to make things better? After a soul-searching Truth and Reconciliation process, the drinking water still hasn't improved, and Louise began to wonder whether inspiration had deserted her. Then aw'sis showed up--a trickster, teacher, healer, wheeler-dealer, shapeshifter, woman, man, nuisance, inspiration. A Holy Fool with their fly open, speaking Cree, aw'sis came to Louise out of the ancient stories of her people, her Elders, from community input (through tears and laughter), from her own full heart and her three-dimensional dreams. Following aw'sis's lead, Louise has flipped her blanket over, revealing a joking, mischievous, unapologetic alter ego--right on time.

EL AMOR ES UNA FUERZA DEVASTADORATras El cuaderno tachado, internacionalmente aclamada, Nicolás Giacobone entrega una novela explosiva Un hilo trágico une el destino de las cinco personas que tienen voz en esta hipnótica novela. Agustina es una actriz trans que lleva demasiado tiempo encadenando proyectos fallidos y cuya capacidad de amar es tan grande como su voraz deseo de venganza. Verónica es una aplicada guionista televisiva que ve cómo se le escapa de las manos el talento que creyó poseer.

Paula es una genial escritora secreta devorada por su propia obra, que atesora en un viejo laptop sin procesador de textos. Juan, pareja de Agustina y en su día rutilante artista conceptual, desconoce que lo van a asesinar en las afueras de Nueva York. Bum bum bum es una historia visceral y extrema, ... Bum bum bum es una historia visceral y extrema, coral y elíptica, llena de anhelos y violencia, habitada por personajes desorbitados que se preguntan dolorosamente quién son. Un libro, en definitiva, desbordado de vida y pasión, pero también de mugre y soledad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After the internationally acclaimed The Crossed-Out Notebook, Nicolás Giacobone delivers an explosive novel. A tragic thread links the fate of five people, each with a voice of their own, in this hypnotic novel. Agustina is a trans actress who has long been stringing a line of unsuccessful projects, and whose capacity for love is as big as her fierce desire for vengeance. Verónica is a hard-working Tv screenwriter that watches the talent she once thought she had slipping through her fingers. Matthew is a simple man, whose marriage is falling apart because of his ever-more-uncontrolled obsessions. Paula is a wonderful secret writer, devoured by her own work, which she treasures in an old laptop that doesn't have a word processor. Juan, Agustina's partner, and once a shining concept artist, is unaware he is about to be murdered on the outskirts of New York. Boom Boom Boom is a visceral and extreme story, choral and elliptical, full of yearning and violence, inhabited by larger-than-life characters that painfully wonder who they are. Definitely a book overflowing with life and passion, but also filth and loneliness.
