For Vampires, Every Night is that Time of the Month

Vampire Menstrual Syndrome: The First Cycle by S.C. Hunter

October 13, 2023 by Sofi Keren 3 Comments

Full disclosure here, I absolutely did choose this book for its cover. And its title. I saw the author posting about it on TikTok and and when she offered up some advance copies, I was immediately in. But of course, I am an epic procrastinator, so I just finished reading it in time for its publication date, which is today, Friday the 13th. Happy birthday, Vampire Menstrual Syndrome! (Or would that be unbirthday?) I need to admit that I made some assumptions about what this […]

You Had Me At “Queer Monster Love Story”

Hollow Heart by Paul Allor

September 7, 2022 by Sofi Keren 3 Comments

I was excited to have my novel nominated for an Indiana Authors Award this year. Since I didn’t win this round, of course I had to pick up a copy of the winning book in the Genre Fiction category, a graphic novel titled Hollow Heart. I was thrilled to see it described as “A queer monster love story about the choices we make between giving our loved ones what they want and giving them what we think they need.” El is a test subject in […]

No Wigs on the Men: Women Defying Death on Film

Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story by Mollie Gregory

September 4, 2022 by Sofi Keren Leave a Comment

A stuntwoman’s job is to jump out of a helicopter, drive a speeding motorcycle on winding roads, leap from one train car to another, and punch the bad guys in the face. She doubles actors in movies and on TV, quietly taking on the riskiest moves, saving the leading lady from potential injury. She’s behind the scenes, but the key to an impressive action sequence. Stuntwomen traces the history of women doing stunts from the early silent serial films of the 1910’s and 1920’s through […]

Deaf Utopia by Nyle DiMarco

August 28, 2022 by Sofi Keren Leave a Comment

I’ll admit it. I watched almost every single season of America’s Next Top Model. Mostly I loved seeing how the photos turned out in the end, tuning out the manipulated drama that took up half of each episode until the photo shoots began. Nyle DiMarco, the show’s first Deaf contestant, won season 22 (yeah, there were that many seasons and more). Much has been written about the problematic aspects of the show, and one chapter of his does touch on an episode where the producers […]

A Trans-Austen Historical Romance

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall

August 25, 2022 by Sofi Keren 5 Comments

I love reading Austen and the Brontë sisters. Jane Eyre is a favorite, even if Mr. Rochester is the worst and definitely killed his wife. But reading period romances used to remind me, in the back of my mind, that those stories weren’t written for people like me. It wouldn’t have been historically accurate for two queer people to get together and not be shunned by society, right? Or…maybe not. Gentleman Jack has been a breath of fresh air, with a main character based on […]

Your Hair Stylist Knows All Your Secrets

One of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose

July 2, 2022 by Sofi Keren 1 Comment

You may have seen Jeneva Rose on TikTok, where she went viral by posting a video about defending her husband in court after he was accused of murdering his mistress. The story even hit The Daily Mail. But…that was just the plot of her novel The Perfect Marriage. When I walked into my local Barnes & Noble and saw her new novel, One of Us Is Dead, I had to buy it. Not just because I appreciate a good whodunit, but because I had been […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
