“Humanity’s reliance on absolutism seems to be a degenerate response to a natural, legitimate—perhaps even say hardwired—desire for ‘answers.’” @lcheuk talks absolutism and Norse gods with Kurt Baumeister, on the occasion of his new novel. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Today is pub day for THE MORGUE KEEPER by Ruyan Meng, 7.13 Books #35. Asian Review of Books calls it “devastating.”
Karissa Chen, bestselling author of HOMESEEKING, calls it “chilling” and “Kafkaesque.”
It’s a cautionary tale for authoritarian times.

I am so ridiculously pleased to share, finally, that I have a new novel coming out in about nine months called BEINGS and it's about aliens and loneliness and queerness and archives. Eee!
(and apparently there's already a pre-order link: bookshop.org/p/books/beings-…)
ALT Publishers Marketplace deal report for my novel, BEINGS, being published by Bloomsbury. It reads: Author of ALL MY MOTHER'S LOVERS Ilana Masad's BEINGS, braiding together an account of the first American alien abductees, who claimed to have encountered ETs in the New Hampshire mountains in 1961, with the letters of a forgotten lesbian science-fiction writer and the frantic observations of a modern-day archivist obsessed with both these stories, to Mo Crist at Bloomsbury, for publication in fall 2025, by Eric Simonoff at William Morris Endeavor (NA).

Gently re-opening to queries now that I am finally (almost nearly) caught up from being open earlier this year.
As always, I'm on the hunt for literary fiction with teeth—esp ones that leave you with well-earned emotional hangovers.
