Paperback Preorders for Upon the Midnight Queer
Paperback Pre-orders!
Holiday tales, retold queerly…
A silk hat turns snow into life and a chance at love for a man with little hope of either. Two men with a connection sparked in passing attempt to withstand everything the tumultuous Toronto of 1981 throws their way, with their only remaining hope being Christmas Eve itself. A much-maligned queen of the snow teaches a young boy how to use his magic to find others of his kind. And a reindeer shines a light of its own, and with the help of the daughter of Father Time, brings gifts—and hope—to all those usually left behind.
Holiday magic connects these tales and more—tales heard and seen and sung before, familiar and joyous, or tender and bittersweet—all to the last told upon the midnight queer.
Upon the Midnight Queer is the second short story collection from Lambda Literary Award finalist ’Nathan Burgoine, and includes the brand new Little Village Holiday Novella, “Folly.”
I said I’d make some noise when it was possible to pre-order paperback copies of Upon the Midnight Queer and it’s officially possible! So far, the listings have shown up at Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble, but more links should fill in as the listings go live, and they should all appear under this Books2Read link (which also includes all the active ebook links, too).
I cannot tell you how happy I am to be able to offer this one in print—especially for those of you who’ve been so very patient after asking me for a way to get your hands on a physical copy of “Dolph,” which, y’know, was ten years ago—and I further cannot wait for you to see how gorgeous it is, thanks to the work of Inkspiral (who also did the cover art).
You also mentioned an audiobook…I did! And I’m definitely going to be back with more information on that front, so stay tuned. The process has begun, and I’m beyond excited about it. The very moment I can send you to some sort of link, I will. Promise.
