All of you should go read The Spirit Bares Its Teeth RIGHT NOW

[clowningcrows]

is it horribly cringe to pick your new chosen name based off of your favorite book character (who is also ftm autistic!!) or is that like…. okay

Andrew joseph white the author that you are

PS if he doesn't release his future books today I don't know what I'll do

At least a face like this will make people think twice before making snap judgments about what I am. It’s harder for someone to pin you down as a girl when they need a moment to pin you down as human.

I want to peel off all my skin, if only so I could be anything other than a naked body, something horrifying instead of vulnerable. Nobody looks at a pig corpse and thinks it could be made beautiful.

If you liked Hell Followed with Us (that's where the first quote is from!), then go read The Spirit Bares its Teeth

Victorian thriller, ghosts and gore, basically Poe-vibes

Absolutely fantastic trans & autistic MC

Lotsa disturbing imagery and surgical metaphors

T4T!

Anti-establisment themes aka fuck the system

Pride VT's theme this year is Ruby Anniversary, so my first thought was to go back to this commission from last winter as a starting point for a showpiece.

Have y'all read Hell Followed With Us? You should. It's the transmasc exvangelical apocalyptic body horror I didn't know I needed, after last year's whole, getting my body taken over by deeply gendered forces I didn't understand and couldn't control, thing.

Maybe the concept is a little more bloody than bejeweled, but I bet I could do something fun with the reds and glittery silvery whites I still have left. Rubies as eyes. Eyes as jewels. Maybe the wings will be completely made of eyes this time.

Anyway, come see us at Pride VT in Burlington in a little under three weeks, it's gonna be shiny.

general rule for andrew j white books is:

hfwu/tsbit: dont trust any adult because if they have the means of causing harm they will

compound fracture: don’t trust any adult until they’ve proven beyond any doubt that they are well intentioned AND won’t hurt a kid under any circumstances

[my-old-discord-statuses]

what kind of monster do i want to be?

[anthony-the-chicken]

Just read hell followed with us, and the spirit bares it's teeth and omg, they are so good. If you haven't read these books (warning for intense gore)

These books changed my life, no joke. They got me into reading. They got me into books. I used to hate reading. I despised it. These books have changed my views. Now I read for fun before. But I was slow and tedious. I finished hell followed with us in a week and two weeks for the spirit bares its teeth. These are both 5 star books.

I will be makeing fanart!!!!!¡

Anyone else like looking through their likes and just seeing all the fandoms you've been obsessed over since you've been on Tumblr? Like, just going through to see which one lasts the longest or which one keeps popping up periodically. Like, I forget about one until it pops up as a tag I follow and it sucks me down a rabbit hole again.

Bookworm Will Review 2024 ( #18 )

Title: 'Hell Followed With Us'

Author: AJ White

Rating: 4 / 5

Review: (MILD SPOILERS)

This was honestly a really good time even if you're not a huge fan of extensive blood, gore, and body horror. I tend to not mind dystopian novels, even though they can really stress me out because I start to overthink every single action that occurs, but if you really just go into with the idea that this is a character driven story, it'll be a bit easier.

Conceptually, this is a well thought out tale that follows Benji through a rather fucked up healing process of overcoming multiple areas of trauma. Granted some were kind of dope as fuck. I really enjoyed the monster aspect of it all because it felt like it wasn't only trying to come off as symbolic, but also nostalgic, at least for me. It felt very mid-2000's thriller/horror video games!

We don't spend a whole tone of time within the setting, as it is a character centric story, but we do focus on the world building details. This book is HEAVY with its religious themes and I am no expert to say if they are accurate or not, however, it felt as though the author was reliving/healing themselves as they explored these aspects of conservative Christianity. It didn't read preach-y. It read as like an active commentary against the persecutions the queer & LGTBQAI+ face even in today's day in age.

Super fucked up, but I enjoyed it!

You ever get so niche that you can't talk to anyone about it. Because how do I explain to my friends that I'm thinking about the singer sparkbird and about how their songs are extremely Andrew joseph white coded and how literally all of their songs remind me of AJ White's book and I need the singer to read the books and the author to listen to that music

[whitelotusherald]

Honestly, I thought that the greatest challenge in The Spirit Bares its Teeth would be the C-section scene but guess which chapter was the fastest and easiest to translate?

And I have to emphasize how I hate all surgical procedures in practice (but at least thanks to this I ran into an animation of how hysterectomy is done which is the funniest shit bc I should've looked it up before going through it... Better late than never?)

[xoadoratio]

reading the spirit bears its teeth and my brain has decided that the rabbit should have the same voice as ryuk from death note
