NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS by Cassandra Khaw. A moving horror novella about the weight of suicidal ideation as Antigone confronts the arrival of her death. Powerful, intense, bracing. Our drink is the Black Dog, which I hope be a comfort.
Sir Lancelot is so AMAB nonbinary to me
I do feel there are occult things happening in St. Louis

Interesting the fantasy books you see as billed "For The Thinker" vs the actually thinky layered fantasy books.
NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about HOUSE, BODY, BIRD by Bernie Jean Schiebeling. A haunted house novella in a dollhouse museum & a propulsive lesbian survival thriller, deliciously dreamlike & pounding with action. Weird, in the best way. Our drink is a Dollhouse.
You can’t tell someone when they say “my better half” that they sound like they’re in a cult, but they do.
"The Peacock Wizard and the Cave of the Serpent Queen" -Elias Eells (SHATTER THE SUN, @neonhemlock.bsky.social, 2026)
The thing about classic Sword and Sorcery is that it's super queer if you squint. The thing about SHATTER THE SUN is you don't have to squint. www.neonhemlock.com/shatter-the-...
NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE LOOM TREE by Angela Mi Young Hur. A mythic magical campus novel surging with depth, mother-daughter magic, archetypal agency, fairy tale spells & the stories that unite us. And a hot frog man. Our drink is the Alvsdahl Spritz.
We’re gonna get some truly heinous fantasy novels inspired by this music video, but I hope we get at least one good one too.
Tag yourself. I’m “party in the bush” youtu.be/Yvl4QSAyWR4
NEW DRINK ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talkin about THE SORCERER OF THE WILDEEPS by Kai Ashante Wilson. This is a science-fantasy sword & sorcery novella of profound poetry & ardent action, as a caravan crosses a deadly magical expanse. A landmark of queer fantasy. Our drink is Demoniac.
Wanna have a good time that's also a mega bummer? Might I recommend Peter Watts' new collection: FOLD CATASTROPHES. A grimly powerful set of stories, this is science fiction at its weighty best. Unnerving & unswerving, with a driving force that pulls you toward futures near & far, truly compelling!
When mist pools in one small pocket of the valley? That’s sword and sorcery, baby!
It’s Mailbag Monday! This week we have heists planned by dragons, future trials, & ape men of an earlier age, horror in the hollows of the earth, strange magic, thrillers on the edge of reality, and the quests of corvids. I can’t wait to read & I can’t wait to share with all of you. What looks good?
A DOWRY OF BLOOD by @stgibson.bsky.social was the very first book we covered on Bar Cart Bookshelf and a delight to revisit in hardcover last fall! The bi polycule held in Dracula's thrall ache with desire (for flesh, for vengeance) and the Brides' Kiss is a perfect autumn cocktail. LINK BELOW.
You think these recommendations just fell out of a coconut tree? They exist in the context of all in which they live and what came before them.
Hiiii, I made some more charts. I hope you like them!
As ever, if you want something to keep existing, you have to pay your share.
As ever, if you want more books, buy more books.
This is my new non porn/kink project and really appreciate any support you can give x
