Look Inside the Book

Lacy is the sole survivor of a freak accident that took eleven of her friends and the use of her legs. It left her with night terrors, and though no one will say it to her face, everybody thinks she might have gone a little crazy. Lacy's younger brother Tommy has no such problems, although having the largest vocabulary in your class and being constantly preoccupied with medieval weaponry comes with its own set of difficulties. But when Lacy and Tommy and their friend Wayne (big belt buckle, big hat, wishes he could do two hundred pull ups) are forced to confront a suspicious recluse named Verdell Graham, things go from bad to worse. The kids are sucked into an adventure that challenges their perception of reality and demands that they face what they fear most, alone.

What People Are Saying:

"I'm a Gramma, and I couldn't put it down. I started reading it out loud to myself to get a feel for how my kids would read it to their kids, but when I couldn't wait to see what would happen next I started just reading it for myself. It's that good." -Bonnie

"Like J K Rowling and N D Wilson, it is everything I love in teen novels: all-at-a-gulp breathless, poetic prose, unexpected. And more -the story is unapologeticly cross shaped without cheese." -Donald

"Great read aloud with the the kids!" -Michael

Electrifying
Format: Kindle
Talia Bhatt’s Trans/Rad/Fem is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of essays that delves deep into the intersection of radical feminism and trans liberation. This book challenges the idea that trans and radical feminism are at odds, instead arguing that transfeminism is a natural extension of radical feminist thought. Bhatt’s sharp, compelling writing makes the case that a materialist, radical transfeminism is key to dismantling the oppressive structures of patriarchy. What makes Trans/Rad/Fem such a captivating read is the way Bhatt blends academic analysis with personal narrative. Her essays are intellectually rigorous, yet accessible and relatable, striking a perfect balance between theory and lived experience. The electrifying prose has the profound impact of books like Stone Butch Blues. There’s something incredibly powerful in the way Bhatt’s words cut through, offering fresh perspectives on issues that often feel tangled or misunderstood. The essays feel like a conversation with someone who’s been thinking deeply about these subjects for a long time, offering not just insight but a vision for a different, more inclusive future. Some readers have noted that familiarity with radical feminist theory will enhance the experience, but even for newcomers, the book offers eye-opening and challenging ideas. Trans/Rad/Fem has clearly made a mark. Bhatt’s ability to engage readers while encouraging critical thought is part of what makes this collection so important. Whether you’re a seasoned feminist theorist or someone looking to understand more about the intersections of gender and social justice, this book is an essential read.

this is the book you’re looking for
Format: Paperback
I’d just finished reading Jules Gil-Peterson’s A Short History and felt a little unsatisfied and uncomfortable with all the orientialism. I picked this up and was immediately sure I had the antidote. Bhatt is clear, direct, and uncompromising. She avoids filler and gets right to the heart of things—“how is this not like blackface?” gets dealt with more thoroughly and decisively than I have ever seen it within the first few pages. She reveals the transmisogyny lurking in even nominally queer social and intellectual movements, and also finds pockets of beautiful solidarity and common ground in some surprising places. Above all, her love for women shines through every word. This book cleared up some misconceptions I had, made me cry, and will make me a better partner and comrade to trans women. Buy it.

Excellent essays in a brilliant book
Format: Paperback
This is a really excellent book. A lot of anthologies of essays have great essays in them, as this one does, but not all of them work as well as a cohesive text as Trans/ Rad/Fem does. I'd recommend this for anyone interested in transfeminism, even if you'd already read individual essays from Bhatt's newsletter by the same name. As with the essays in their newsletter format, The Third Sex and The Questions Has an Answer were my favorite. Bhatt's writing has such force and clarity that I look forward to reading whatever she chooses to write about next.

Absolutely brilliant
Format: Kindle
An absolute tour de force reckoning with decades of feminist scholarship and theorizing about trans feminine bodies and motivations. Succinctly and pithily describes the hegemonic culture’s understanding of transsexual women and demands an accounting from the hegemony’s enablers on their treatment of all marginalized queer and especially trans people.
