Queer book recs from IFM's editors

Mantha's Rec(s)

Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner Series and Tamír Triad

Any chance Mantha gets they recommend Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner Series and Tamír Triad. Both set in the same world but in two different eras, these fantasy series have become so dear to them over the years.

The Nightrunner books are part fantasy, part political intrigue, part murder mystery, all while exploring themes of belonging and identity. And while they don't have genders outside the binary, the two main characters are bi, cis men (with a little gender-nonconformity in there, too.)

The Tamír Triad tells the coming of age story of a trans girl at court in the midst of political upheaval: think Knights of the Round Table but King Arthur is trans.

Flewelling's writing is impeccable. She has a gift for character, detail, and setting that creates immersive worlds. Though not recent publications - the first book came out in 1996 - they were the first books Mantha read that showed them that the sky was truly the limit in fantasy writing.

Lydia's Rec

All the White Spaces by Ally Wilkes

Not for the faint of heart, All the White Spaces by Ally Wilkes is a historical thriller in which a trans man stows away on an expedition ship bound for the Antarctic from England.

Set just after WWII, the stakes are quickly raised when the ship - the only way the expedition is getting home - is destroyed just shy of their destination. Missing most of the crew and nearly all their supplies, the few remaining members of the expedition must find a way to survive the winter in Antarctica.

Stumbling across a German expedition's camp seems like a stroke of good luck - but where did the Germans go (and would they even believe the war was over?), and what lurks in the darkness just outside of the lamp light?

Sione's Rec

Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata

If you're a short story reader who loves weird, slightly dark speculative fiction (think George Saunders, Miranda July, Alexander Weinstein, Carmen Maria Machado), Sione highly recommends Sayaka Murata's book of short stories, Life Ceremony, which came out in paperback in May.

While the stories don't contain genders outside the binary, there is gay rep, asexual and aromantic spectrum rep, and neurodiversity rep.

But what really gets zir excied about this book are the themes! This is basically an entire short story collection about what's normal, who decides, and how changeable our social norms and taboos are, which opens a window into a future with many queer and neurodivergent possibilities. Ze hasn't been this excited about a new book in a very long time.

saddest thing to me about batman inc is that they legitimately have such a cool cast of characters and like just either do nothing with them or like white-wash/disrespect them.

#maybe ill make a long post on this #batman inc #batman incorporated #knight #beryl hutchinson #dc comics #ghostmaker #minhkhoa khan #el gaucho #clownhunter #bao pham #nightrunner #bilal asselah #man of bats #william great eagle #raven red #charles great eagle #batman of japan #jiro osamu #bat-man of china #wang baixi #also so many of these characters have such cool histories #i know that one big reason they don't do enough with them is because its a team comic and i get that #but like the whitewashing #they made batman of china skinny #this is mostly about vol 3 #but vol 1 and 2 are not innocent #also i acknowledge that some of these characters had racist origins #id love it if someone with more cultural knowledge than me knew anything about them #anyway batman inc vol 3 has a lot of potential and so far its like not going anywhere and thats so sad

“Seregil gripped Alec’s arm. “Shoot true, talí.” Alec pressed a white-fletched arrow to his lips. “I will, talí.” he whispered back, blue eyes glinting fiercely under the black paint.”

uggh I love these books so much! I’m not being normal about this anymore

nightrunner wiki?

is anyone interested in collaborating with me to get the nightrunner wiki beefed up and up to date?

im reading the series right now and tbh having a hard time with all the details sometimes. i’d really like to be able to look it up when i have a question, but the wiki is barren.

i’ve never worked on a wiki before but im interested in making friends who are also into the nightrunner series, having a discord, etc

dm me if interested!
