Looking for a chilling read to curl up with this October? We recommend Tell Me I'm Worthless, the cult favourite haunted house novel from Alison Rumfitt. www.cipherpress.co.uk/tellmeimwort...
Book cover for Tell Me I'm Worthless, with the title in yellow text. Alison Rumfitt appears in yellow text below. The background image is a painting of a woman using grey and black, with a red stripe across her eyes. The stripe appears to have pins on top.

A love (& loss) letter to bookstores & archives and the weird horny queers who haunt them, full of the dark humour of grief & a fine eye for lesbian fashions. @cipherpress.bsky.social strike again.

We're over the moon to announce we'll be publishing @michelletea.bsky.social's gutsy, joyful road-trip novel Little F in the UK! Hitting the streets near you April 2026 🚗
Graphic for Little F with an author headshot of Michelle Tea, a white woman with reddish-brown hair, against a brown paper backdrop. Image text reads Little F by Michelle Tea. April 2026. Faded stamps reading 'Cipher Press' can be seen in the margins. Black text on a brown paper background. Text reads: A gutsy and joyful road trip of a novel by cult favourite author of Black Wave and Valencia. In Spencer’s fantasies, the breezy, queer streets of Provincetown are utopia, a place where he can be free. And when a violent attack in his suburban Arizona schoolyard sends him to the hospital, he decides queer utopia can’t wait. One night, with the help of his best friend, the teenage witch Joy, he hitches a ride to find it. What follows is a cross-country road odyssey throughout the USA, taking Spencer from new moon rituals in Arizona canyons to Texas bus stations, from the luxe drag stages of Houston’s Montrose district to the jazz-soaked streets of New Orleans and beyond. This new novel from Michelle Tea tells the story, by turns raw, romantic, and sweet, of a sheltered boy taking his first leap into queer life, among all the complicated queers who live it.
