That night he got up out of bed and put on his maroon polo shirt, which everyone said he looked so handsome in, and went downstairs and drove off in his car, where he did not know. He just drove. (...) drove around in that crimson glow of doughnut shops and new-car showrooms, in which all things, cars, faces, bodies, gleam with an otherworldly light, and he kept driving—never admitting what he was about—until he came to Dupont Circle and there he stopped and got out under the green trees and met a man and went into the park and blew him.

What’s a book you’ve read recently that you haven’t really people talking about?

Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn you is Ariel Delgado Dixon’s debut and I was super impressed. Told from the perspective of our nameless narrator we are thrown into the story of two sisters, and the repercussions of their traumatic childhoods on their adult lives.

This book is pure dysfunction at every turn. It’s dark, dark, dark but also funny and impossible to put down. It tackles so much but doesn’t feel bloated. I don’t want to go too far into the plot because there’s some jaw dropping surprises that you should discover for yourself.

Overall, it’s a powerful story of how you can both love and hate the people who hurt you.

Thank you to NetGalley and RandomHouse for an ARC of this title. Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You comes out February 15th.

The book was published in 1997, but I began writing scenes for it at least in 1987. Here’s a very early draft.

anyway, speaking of working, I’m getting fired later this week (it’s mutually agreed upon due to corona restrictions I’m not bitter) so I’m going to start offering paid tarot readings. I’ve been doing this for about two years now privately for friends and I like to think I’ve gotten pretty good. 

My fees for tarot readings are: 

1 card reading - 3$/10₪

3-5 card spreads (various types) - 6$/21₪

10 card reading/celtic cross - 9$/32₪

Year ahead spreads - 12$/42₪ (this is an hour long session!)

Paid either via PayPal/Ko-Fi for dollars or Bit for shekels.

This is a particularly good time for year ahead spreads because of Rosh Hashanah being this Friday night.

This money goes either towards my continued payments to university or towards my autism diagnosis which, hopefully, will eventually lead me to going on disability, but is also very expensive at 5800 hundred shekels and isn’t subsidized by any healthcare provider in Israel.

My DMs are open to people I don’t follow but you can also contact me via twitter @evilwickedgail or instagram @queernovels 

Love all of you. Thanks for following me even during this period of relative inactivity and The Witcher spam.

In these ghostly places late summer nights: He was half-waiting to be born. Having vanished from his former life, having shed his previous self with the suits he had left behind in a basement in Washington, he was a ghost, in fact, waiting to come to life through love.

review - these violent delights

4/5 Stars Pub Date: Sept 15, 2020 2021 Goodreads Goal: 11/150

Last year there were multiple books with the same title, and I actually came across this by accident. I went in blind and I’m so glad I did. I didn’t research the case it’s loosely based on, I just knew it was a period thriller.

I was blown away by this propulsive story of two queer teens. Paul and Julian are brilliant and lonely boys. When they meet at University they’re drawn together: Julian is bold and flamboyant, from a rich family that will give him anything, and Paul is quiet and artsy, still reeling after his father’s suicide. Both boys are misunderstood and find a companionship that at first is challenging and fresh.

As their inevitable romance blooms their obsessiveness with each other grows. Paul’s never had anyone in his life before, and is always questioning their relationship and waiting for Julian to grow tired of him. Prone to exaggeration and contemplating violence they will do anything for each other. Which eventually leads to them stalking and plotting a murder to bind themselves together forever. These violent delights have violent ends. 

As Julian unravels, Paul is left counting down the days till they get caught. The anxiety amongst the characters is felt deeply by the reader.

I listened to the audiobook and it was really well done.

Early notes on content for XTX. Probably from early 1990s. Names redacted, but you can see several stories that didn't make it into the book.
