Though not coming out until April, Elly Bangs’ debut novel UNITY is already creating some excitement. UNITY is currently available for pre-order through all finer booksellers or direct from Tachyon.

ANXIOUS NACHOS declares that the book is a must read.

UNITY is the debut novel from queer, trans woman Elly Bang and it sounds like an absolute brilliant piece of work!

In Episode 9 of LITTLE DARLINGS podcast Oren Ashkenazi discusses their experience with the novel.

And so the other one is a book that’s not out yet but it will be out soon. UNITY by L.E. Bangs. And I was a beta reader on this one. And it’s a postapocalyptic story full of resource shortages and gripping problems and real weirdos that you always get in postapocalyptic settings. So if you’re a Fury Road fan, you’ll be way into it, but like also there’s underwater postapocalyptic stuff. And I like underwater stuff, because it’s weird and creepy, so it’s got all of that.

On the Tachyon Publications Channel, Bangs reads from UNITY.

In a STARRED review for FOREWORD, Danielle Ballantyne praises R. B. Lemberg’s forthcoming THE FOUR PROFOUND WEAVES (not due until September, but available for pre-order from your favorite bookseller or direct from Tachyon).

R. B. Lemberg spins a world of singing gods, desert nomads, and magic humming in the wind in THE FOUR PROFOUND WEAVES . . . Impressive world building renders the shifting hues of the desert sands and the cold stone of The Collector’s palace in tight prose. Social structures and customs are relayed with the same deft hand; the free, accepting atmosphere of the desert and its people ends at Iyar’s stifling walls.

ANXIOUS NACHOS includes the book among 30 Days of Pride: The rise of the queer novella.

This book is publishing in September this year and I am very excited to have an ARC for it. This is a trans epic fantasy, set in a world with very strict gender roles and a man who has changed between them and struggles to embody the masculinity required of his new role after years performing the life of a woman.

THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE is excited as well.

September sees the release of the first full-length Birdverse story by Rose Lemberg, which I’m very excited about: The Four Profound Weaves is a desert-set fairytale of identity, death and (obviously) weaving.
