WWACommendations: Boys Weekend, River’s Edge, Bezkamp and More
August was a month of ambitious reads, and one of those funny times when we all seem to have melded into a WWAC hive mind. Everyone is reading Boys Weekend by Mattie Lubchansky or has it on hold at the library. Everyone is also reading River’s Edge by Kyoko Okazaki or waiting for it at…

REVIEW: Mamo Explores the Darker Side of Witchy Traditions
Sas Milledge’s graphic novel Mamo embraces the cottagecore aesthetic. Its pages are filled with lush rural landscapes, small magical adventures, and quaint witchcraft traditions.

Those early issues of Trans Man Walking were all autobio, although looking back now I see the tendrils of horror working their way in. It’s honestly not subtle – the first issue’s cover features…
