🔮 OUT NOW! 🔮 A decade of domesticity finds the vampire Python restless. But an exciting trip with Calysto, his warlock partner, to the hedonistic night city of Arcade quickly turns disastrous, as Python catches the attention of a sinister stranger intent on devouring him altogether. 📚🌈

Within the confines of the Modern Mythos polycule they’re accepting of desire. They’re like, old, immortal, and way past judgements of that nature. Their relationship is open, but they commit to being each others ‘core’. Though I will say Python has been known to get a lil jealous 😂 #latenightwrite

Python wants a simple & peaceful life, even though he cant admit it to himself & doesn’t know what to do with it when it lands in his lap. Calysto craves belonging but sees himself as inherently unworthy of love 🤷‍♀️ They both tend to fuck things up bcoz of this. So I’d say…weakness #latenightwrite

Hey #LateNightWrite I’m Jun. I’m a monthish out from publishing the second book in my gothic vampire magic time travel series, and otherwise I’m working on a short story about the World’s Biggest Simp (aka a vampire’s familiar) and an extremely sprawling epic dark fantasy where words kill you 🤷‍♀️

My bookstore rent is going up, and my Bookshop sales are pretty much covering the difference currently! If you’re a Bookshop shopper, considering using Plot Twist Cafe as your selected store (if you don’t already have a local fav). It really makes the world of difference to us little guys 💜
