Originally released in 1993, Kathe Koja's queer, body horror / weird fiction novel "Skin" is less a story and more a performance. Or so she explains in this exclusive interview about the new version of it from Meerkat Press.

#bookreleaseday ! The fan-favorite pint-sized unicorn makes a wish to be big in this modern fairy tale from the Caldecott-Honor winning creator of Have You Ever Seen a Flower?. #gifted by #randomhousekids #kidlit #booksky #booktok #bookstodon @bookstodon @kidlit
Over on TikTok I watched one video where some BookTok ladies were drooling about super-overprotective kinky spanking cowboys in a BDSM romance and then *swipe* I'm watching all those Idaho Republicans let that lady get kidnapped without lifting a finger and then *swipe* back on BookTok cowboys and then it hit me.
There wasn't ONE damn real cowboy in that whole ROOMFUL of Idaho Republicans.
I only just started this book but I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.
but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.
You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.
The most difficult book I've read recently. A young woman is consumed by schizophrenia with Korean patriarchy in the background.

" Avant qu'elle ne s'explose
Pour déchirer la cause
Qui la lie au Morose,
Et diriger sa dose
Au moment,
Et au temps
Qui passe et puis qui mord
Tout ce qu'il y a de tord... "

Should you read Imbued?
Yes, if you enjoy:
introspective, slightly spiralling narration
lost history and lore, dangerous magic, dead gods
a lush, tropical, war-torn realm
a story of old trauma and a fight for lost agency
First in a dark fantasy duology.
