top two things things that I, a trans horror author, have signed instead of my own books:

- a box containing a vial of medical testosterone (the reader and I used the same brand) (hell yeah dude)
- the literal Book of Mormon (yes, as in the LDS religious text) (pocket edition)

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice.

Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT."
IT IS ART.
YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

YWMTBH is an INSTANT BESTSELLER!

In this day and age, a horror novel BY and ABOUT a disabled trans man - tackling pregnancy as violence, the necessity of abortion, and the right to CHOOSE - hitting a list? It feels like a miracle.

Everyone, thank you so much 🪱

BEAST//WARDEN drafting begins this week 🍂🌾🪦

hope y’all are ready for a monstrously complicated Stone Age YA fantasy about disability, ableism, messy teen attempts at polyamory, and the meaning of sacrifice for the greater good.

Happy Book Birthday to NYT and USA Today bestselling author Andrew Joseph White's highly anticipated debut adult horror novel YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BE HUMAN!

Everyone that has read this visceral entry into the body horror genre says the same thing: It's brutal, it's brilliant, and it's devastating.

I can talk about what the book is About all day. But just know that this was written as a snapshot of my feelings the day that Roe V Wade was overturned. It’s filthy, violent, disgusting, and while none of this happened to me, emotionally it’s the truest thing I’ve ever written.
Text reading: Festering masses of worms and flies have taken root in dark corners across Appalachia. In exchange for unwavering loyalty and fresh corpses, these hives offer a few struggling humans salvation. A fresh start. It’s an offer that none refuse. Crane is grateful. Among his hive’s followers, Crane has found a chance to transition, to never speak again, to live a life that won’t destroy him. He even met Levi: a handsome ex-Marine and brutal killer who treats him like a real man, mostly. But when Levi gets Crane pregnant—and the hive demands the child’s birth, no matter the cost—Crane’s desperation to make it stop will drive the community that saved him into a devastating spiral that can only end in blood. You Weren’t Meant to Be Human is a deeply personal horror; a visceral statement about the lives of marginalized people in a hostile world, echoing the works of Stephen Graham Jones and Eric LaRocca.

YOU WERENT MEANT TO BE HUMAN got its SECOND star, this one from Booklist!! 🌟

“White’s adult debut is brutal…but encapsulates the best of the modern horror genre.”

My horror novel about a trans man’s unwanted pregnancy comes out in ONE WEEK and I am not nervous at all 😩
