It is rare to read something as queer and revolutionary as this book. It is rare to read something that speaks to me as openly and honestly as this book did. And it is rare to describe a book to others as a story of hot, hilarious, lovable, communist, polyamorous trans lesbians killing fascists in a post-dystopian Kentucky with zombies and vampires (sorry, make that draculas). But this book is all that and more. Natalie Ironside is a captivating author that writes about brutality and love, hope and war. All with the appropriate weight, a revolutionary mind, and a boundless encouragement to simply do the next right thing. And to, of course, be gay while doing it.
