The Blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF ebook cover with Drummer Boy

Delisted all our ebooks from #Draft2Digital out of solidarity, after they imposed the much-maligned maintainance fee on small self-publisher accounts.

You can buy our ebooks on our website. It works out better for us and for our authors anyway.

snagged a signed copy of @matratype.bsky.social's fantastic collection on street type design earlier this month and paired it with a gorgeous journey into drishti iconography from TN. Both already well-thumbed escapes into everyday art from this horrid heat 👁️

Kuzhali Manickavel on Arcx YouTube video by Dark 'n' Light Zine

friends, this is a podcast i did with the most illustrious Anjali Alappat. It includes a weak attempt to promote a children's story channel i had on youtube, which, like so many things, has since died.

i grew up in edmonton, canada and then had to move to india when i was about fourteen. it feels like one person abruptly died and then this other person had to quickly form itself from whatever was available. it's not the usual immigrant experience. i don't know what it is.

Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India by J Furcifer Bhairav & Rakesh Khanna. Indian edition, cover by Appupen shows a strangely-shaped tree with a ghostly sari-clad figure standing nearby. Her hair covers her face completely.

An Appupen illustration from the book of the Kumaoni hunter-ghost Airi and his ghost-hounds

A Shyam illustration from the book of an Arakkan, a sort of angry giant demon. This one has a horned helmet, a bare chest, and poorly pedicured toenails. He is about to stomp on the viewer and squash them

Yashica Dutt recommends The Blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF. With smaller inset pics of editor R Talitha Samuel, author Rahee Punyashloka, and translator Divya Kalavala

"This is where this delicious anthology comes in: naming feelings that often seem unnameable... drawing the reader into a world that caste-oppressed people inhabit all their lives — yet one that mostly goes unnoticed, or is wilfully ignored.”

This is a fantastic interview and also you should buy all of Kuzhali's books and zines

Not in the review was my favourite, Salt Slough by ML Krishnan. An academic case study on an unusual occurance (surely just a case of drunken negligence!) while the footnotes reveal glimpses of unsettling depths. Highly recommend to fans of Sarah Gailey, Julia Armfield, and maybe a lil T Kingfisher.

😂😂😂

I've read this and it's great! Includes

- lesbian demons
- lesbians vs demons

It's got it all!
