This is a sweet and sapphic friends to lovers story Despite how short it is, I still very much enjoyed it.

This dystopian novelette is about Ai, a woman who paid to become cyborg and made an app in which she pretends to be an AI service that takes writing commissions. She considers giving up more of her humanity when a company called New Era offers a ripoff of her app for a cheaper price. Anyone who has ever struggled to keep up with work and deadlines, and thus has felt as if they're not enough, will definitely relate to this story.

David Saunders is the narrator and protagonist of this novel, but it's not about him, rather the man he works for named Gideon Wyck. Gideon Wyck is famous but despised by many students and professors at the college he works at. It is believed he performed an unnecessary amputation a patient, and it is later revealed he was behaving unethically with his female patients. When he turns up dead, it becomes a mystery as to who could have murdered him.

This is a great classic scifi horror novel. The characters are compelling and the descriptions regarding embalming and autopsies were very interesting. All the scientific terms went over my head, and yet I still very much enjoyed this book. I'm deeply appreciative towards Valancourt Books for making this available for a modern audience.

Native American people were consulted during the making of this eco-horror comic, which is great and should always be done. Although I wish I had ended up liking this more. The illustrations and story are fine, but I didn't feel much connection to the characters. :(

Horror is and always will be my favorite form of media, but I generally avoid stuff that involves zombies. For a while I couldn't make up my mind as to whether I wanted to read The Only Safe Place Left is the Dark due to the fact that it is about a zombie apocalypse, but knowing it is queer horror made me want to check it out. Now I've finally read and I deeply

This novella is about Quinton, a gay man who's HIV positive. For thirty years he has been living alone in a cabin, just waiting to die of his illness. It is while he's living there that the zombie apocalypse occurs. Quinton has had to quietly sneak past the Afflicted (what the zombies are called) to get to pharmacies so he can obtain his medicine.

At the beginning, some men break into the cabin with the intent to steal Quinton's belongings. One of the intruders destroys the pills he has been relying on to stay alive. He is tied to a chair and beaten up, but manages to trick one of his captors into setting him free and proceeds to kill them all. But since his medicine is gone, he has to go out and find more. While he's wandering along a street, he meets Billy, who's also HIV positive. They enter into a sexual and romantic relationship during their journey to a factory that manufactured the medicine they both need. When they get there, they encounter a cult. That is when things get messy and tragic for Billy and Quinton.

The way Billy and Quinton are immune to zombie bites due to their HIV is interesting. Also the fact that the zombies are self-aware in this novella makes them much more terrifying in my opinion. There are some grammatical and continuity errors in this novella, but the compelling story and characters make up for them. This is Warren Wagner's debut novella and I am definitely gonna read anything else he has published in the future.
