Which is a thing that exists, I guess. And is a thing that roughly tells you the tenor of these books, so please: assume a trigger warning for, like, *gestures widely* all the things.<\/p>\n<p>And also reminder that I&#8217;ll be joining the mighty Kevin Hearne and freshly-Hugo-nominated Fran Wilde at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doylestownbookshop.com\/event\/kevin-hearne\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Doylestown Bookshop this coming Saturday<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (Doylestown, PA) at 7PM.
