The Unmapping

Black Salt Queen

Crueler Mercies

**Spaceships aren’t programmed to seek revenge—but for Dracula, Demeter will make an exception.**

Demeter just wants to do her job: shuttling humans between Earth and Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, her passengers keep dying—and not from equipment failures, as her AI medical system, Steward, would have her believe. These are paranormal murders, and they began when one nasty, ancient vampire decided to board Demeter and kill all her humans.

To keep from getting decommissioned, Demeter must join forces with her own team of monsters: A werewolf. An engineer built from the dead. A pharaoh with otherworldly powers. A vampire with a grudge. A fleet of cheerful spider drones. Together, this motley crew will face down the ultimate evil—Dracula.

The queer love child of pulp horror and ​classic ​sci-fi, *Of Monsters and ​Mainframes* ​is a dazzling, heartfelt odyssey that probes what it means to be one of society’s monsters—and explores the many types of friendship that make us human.

Of Monsters and Mainframes

**A warm and hopeful story of a lonely witch consumed by grief who discovers a whimsical cast of characters in a magical arboretum—and the healing power of found family.**

Powerless witch Saika is ready to enact her sister’s final request: to plant her remains at the famed Ash Gardens. When Saika arrives at the always-stormy sanctuary, she is welcomed by its owner, an enormous knit-cardiganed mythical beast named Frank, who offers her a role as one of the estate’s caretakers.

Overcome with grief, Saika accepts, desperate to put off her final farewell to her sister. But the work requires a witch with intrinsic power, and Saika’s been disconnected from her magic since her sister’s death two years prior. Saika gets by at the sanctuary using a fragment of a fallen star to cast enchantments—while hiding the embarrassing truth about herself.

As Saika works harder in avoidance of her pain, she learns more about Frank, the decaying house at Ash Gardens, and the lives of the motley staff, including bickering twin cherubs, a mute ghost, a cantankerous elf, and an irritating half witch, among others. Over time, she rediscovers what it means to love and be wholly loved and how to allow her joy and grief to coexist. Warm and inventive, House of Frank is a stirring portrait of the ache of loss and the healing embrace of love.

A warm and hopeful story of a lonely witch consumed by grief who discovers a whimsical cast of characters in a magical arboretum—and the healing power of found family.

House of Frank

**Fearing for her life, an outcast princess joins the rebellion against her own kingdom and family. . . but when playing with fire, someone always gets burned.**

Teia Carthan abandoned her morals long ago, and now there’s nothing she won’t do to stay alive. So far she has survived her parents’ deaths, the ire of the Council, and innumerable attempts on her life, orchestrated by Jura, her half brother and soon-to-be king of Erisia. Teia’s rare control over two elements marks her as both an outsider and a formidable opponent—but once Jura is crowned king, there will be no way to survive him. Not for Teia, not for anyone. 

When Jura moves to crush the rebellion that seeks to overthrow the monarchy, Teia sees one last opportunity to ensure her own safety. She can infiltrate the rebels, locate their base . . . and betray them to Jura, trading their lives for her own. 

Yet when Teia meets the rebels, she gets far more than she bargained for. And when she gains not only their trust but their friendship, she begins to have doubts. Perhaps the rebels are right. Perhaps the Golden Palace should be torn down and the monarchy destroyed. 

But then again—what if there is another possibility? What if Teia were on the throne instead? 

Fearing for her life, an outcast princess joins the rebellion against her own kingdom and family. . . but when playing with fire, someone always gets burned.

Inferno's Heir

**Amid the chaos of a dying city ruled by colonizers, three rivals―a thief, a slumlord, and an heiress―race to find a hidden cache of magic that will decide the city’s fate.**

In the occupied city of Tejomaya, calor―a magical fossil fuel―is found only in the blood rains that fall from the sky. While a six-month drought has brought Tejomaya to a desperate standstill, rumors of a secret stash of magic propel three unlikely treasure seekers to risk everything.

Tenacious and street-smart Zain Jatav has been forced to steal calor for her slumlord bosses for years. Finding the magic reserve might be her only key to freedom. But she’ll have to contend with Iravan Khotar, a slumlord himself and an ambitious revolutionary hoping to use the same magic to save his people from the mysterious illness devastating the slums―and to bolster a fight against their oppressors. Meanwhile, heiress Anastasia Drakos leads the ruling council of Tejomaya from the safety of a nearby island. With the hidden magic, she could finally take full control of the city and crush the slums beneath her unyielding fist.

As Zain, Iravan, and Anastasia draw closer to finding the treasure, their paths tangle, and not for the first time―they met before, a decade ago, in a fire that destroyed each of their lives in different ways. Their reunion might bring the already-weakened city to its knees.

Exploring the devastating mechanisms of power, this searing climate fantasy breathes life into a crumbling world hovering on the brink of total destruction.

And the Sky Bled

**In this fresh-yet-familiar gothic tale—part historical fantasy, part puzzle-box mystery—the worlds of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes collide in a thrilling exploration of feminine power.**

At the dawn of the twentieth century in Paris, Samantha Harker, daughter of Dracula’s killer, works as a researcher for the Royal Society for the Study of Abnormal Phenomena. But no one realizes how abnormal she is. Sam is a channel into the minds of monsters: a power that could help her solve the gruesome deaths plaguing turn-of-the-century Paris—or have her thrown into an asylum.

Sam finds herself assigned to a case with Dr. Helena Moriarty, daughter of the criminal mastermind and famed nemesis of Sherlock Holmes and a notorious detective whom no one wants to work with on account of her previous partners’ mysterious murders. Ranging from the elite clubs of Paris to the dark underbelly of the catacombs, their investigation sweeps them into a race to stop a Beast from its killing rampage, as Hel and Sam are pitted against men, monsters, and even each other. But beneath their tenuous trust, an unmistakable attraction brews. Is trusting Hel the key to solving the murder, or is Sam yet another pawn in Hel’s game?

In this fresh-yet-familiar gothic tale—part historical fantasy, part puzzle-box mystery—the worlds of Dracula and Sherlock Holmes collide in a thrilling exploration of feminine power.

My name is Jananie and I’m known as thisstoryaintover on YouTube, where I’ve created content about books for over 5 years.

As a neurodivergent, queer woman of colour living with mental illness, I have struggled to see myself represented in books and media all my life. I believe that the stories we consume directly affect our worldview and our perception of ourselves. I hope to be part of the change that brings more diverse and rich stories to the world.

I named my channel “This Story Ain't Over” (styled thisstoryaintover) because of my strong belief that we are in a constant--and often messy-- process of growth and change. I hope that you’ll be excited to join me on this journey as we figure it out together. 

Currently, I live in downtown Toronto and work my nine-to-five in marketing, when I’m not reading or creating content. 🙂

I discovered the cozy fantasy genre when I read Legend & Lattes for the first time. Reading that story felt like coming home, so I started to seek out the softer side of fantasy. I have since shared countless cozy stories through my content and my online book club that currently hosts over 5,000 cozy fantasy lovers. As this genre begins to grow, my heart is to help diverse voices in the cozy fantasy space shine. Cozy Quill Press is so much more than just connecting or publishing books. We get to nurture dreams and help them find their way into the hearts of readers. I’m so happy we get to journey along together and I can’t wait to get to know you in this cozy space!

I am an author, book reviewer and passionate advocate for marginalized people and I love reading anything that pushes back against systemic barriers or challenges me to see the world through a wider lens.

HAPPY PUB DAY to the one and only @olivieblake!!

Gifted & Talented brings the the sardonic prose that makes Olivie Blake one of the most distinctive voices is fantasy to a whole new story. Blake’s depictions of the manipulative, cut-throat Wren family have a nuance and dark comedic brilliance that will endear both lit fic and contemporary fantasy readers. 

I gasped. I laughed. I found myself, once again, basking in the light of Blake’s enemies-to-lovers arc. If you haven’t picked up one of her novels yet, what in the world are you waiting for? I’ve read every single one and, honestly, Gifted & Talented is her best yet.

I have always found an escape between the pages of any book I could get my hands on, but escapism also meant fully engaging with every aspect of the text. I value the written word and how it offers so many pieces of itself, ready for me tackle it at my own pace. As a woman who sits in a space of many multitudes, books are often the only time I have the opportunity to see those multitudes merging together and celebrated by those around me. My goal is to tackle the literacy crisis one annotation at a time by delving into novels meant of all genres and breaking them down step by step. We live in a world where the human condition alone is an exhibition of trauma, so lets unwind that through the power of words.

Hello fellow science fiction fans! I have been a book content creator on Instagram and Tiktok, but my most important work yet will be on Bindery! I have been an avid sci-fi reader since I was a child, but as I grew, I noticed that most science fiction was written by white male authors. And most of the books they wrote were the same thing, over and over again. Because without varying perspectives, any art becomes stagnant. I am here to read, recommend, and promote sci-fi written by women, black and brown people, the LGBTQIA+ community, and authors with disabilities. The publishing community has long known there was a problem in diversity from the readership, but because of access to platforms like Tiktok, our voices have been heard, and change is happening, slowly, but with the work we are putting in, surely! Come be a part of it on Bindery!

Jahid

Books are my oldest friends, and libraries were my first loves. Growing up, stories were a guiding hand to lead me off to a world I wished I lived in, filled with people I wished I knew, the friends I wish I had. It was easy, oh so easy to bundle up in a comforter and dissolve into the words, the prose itself so magical a piece of me always wondered if novels were enchanted. That love and sense of wonder brought on by books has also deepened as the years have gone on. As a novelist, poet, and author, my relationship with reading has evolved over the years. Books are no longer purely entertainment, or informative, they are also therapeutic. They are transformative, they are powerful. They are the hands that sculpt the world. Most importantly, stories give me permission to be patient and gentle with myself and hold space for my inner child to scream, to shout, to speak, to laugh, to cry. To express all the emotions he spent so much time repressing. Afterall, I cannot heal what I do not allow myself to at first feel, and through words and their magic, I am made human. I am made whole.

Hi my ‘Lil Raindrops, I’m Desiree!

I am the podcast co-host of The Lavender Menace Podcast, the Writing Director of Beloved: A Butch-Femme Zine, and a writer.  

On previous social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, I’ve been essentially chased off of these sites for my (well-informed and well-read) beliefs. But I love books and I love sharing my opinions, so I will not stop! On my Bindery, “sunny thoughts” works as both a little play on words, a description of thoughts that are “sunny” and bright, when really, I am a pretty critical reader and consumer of media. But “sunny thoughts” also literally refers to my (Sunny’s) thoughts, in a Substack-like-newsletter for lengthy written book reviews as well as essays on books, media, the Internet, the world, etc. I hope you join me in this community and find as much joy in approaching and critically examining media and discourse as I do!

We love a good romance novel and what we value most is authenticity in stories. We’re always drawn to books that celebrate diversity. We want to share our passion for storytelling and creativity - encouraging you all to pick up a book, listen to music, watch a film and be moved and entertained by the wonderful world of imagination and stories.

A Life of Literature

Linzy Taylor

Most people may know me for my comedic content. I share what it’s like to live with my husband and my ex-husband. Yes you read that correctly. I’m an autistic mom raising autistic kids. My life is kind of crazy. Comedy is a great way to let my vivid imagination run wild. I’d do almost anything for a laugh. I’m an actor, writer, singer, mother and an avid page turner. I look forward to growing a community of like minded people here on Bindery. I’m a sucker for deep memoirs, psychological thrillers, romance with a twist, and dark magic. I write movies, so I’m heavily plot driven. As a writer I love realistic characters with compelling stories and tragic flaws.

Hi, I’m Linzy Taylor and I love touching books. Words are magic.

Bindery is a book publisher powered by community.
