Leo Otherland is a queer author, literal goblin, member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and lover of all things strange and unordinary. This elusive scribbler acquired his passion for weaving stories of dark and broken things through a childhood spent huddling in books and dodging the unfriendly spirits that resided in the haunted house he called home.

You’re No Better Review

Special thanks to NetGalley and Peachtree Publishers | Peachtree Teen for the ARC copy they provided. I am truly grateful for the ARC, more than I can say. I have had the pleasure of reading all of Andrew Joseph White’s books, and none disappoint. Each just leaves me coming back for more, book after book. You’re No Better is no exception. While I’m not a rabid true crime fanatic, I won’t lie and s Read more of this blog post »

“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”
Cesar A. Cruz

Oscar Wilde
“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: ' With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on we're all damaged. I fear that today...”
Jeri Taylor

William Shakespeare
“I'll call for pen and ink and write my mind”
William Shakespeare

Charles Bukowski
“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
Charles Bukowski
