AFTERTASTE: A TOXIC YURI
by
EMORIA WEIDNER
Past-Itch Publishing presents, Aftertaste: A Toxic Yuri, the debut novel from Emoria Weidner.
Begun as a series of Bluesky posts that went viral, Aftertaste has been fully revised and expanded into the first print edition.
This sensual tale follows the seemingly unremarkable Simon, the only "man" working at a yuri bar where lesbian romance is served from bottles. Encounters with a domineering demon, a feisty old flame, and a motherly boss help this lowly server find the treasure that lies beneath the body's surface...and will unleash the mistakes that make us their prey.
In this stunning first offering, Weidner blends romance, horror, religious trauma, queer love, and much more into a trans pulp opera that rides off the rails and into the sunset.

I SAW THE PINK LIGHT GLOW
by Josephine Riesman and D Moses
I Saw the Pink Light Glow is a collection of discussions between NYT Bestselling author Josephine Riesman (Ringmaster, True Believer) and artist D Moses (Warren Lotas, Holy Mountain) about the impact of the work of Philip K. Dick and its meaning for our times.
Focusing on the VALIS Quadrilogy, the authors find striking parallels between the close of the Nixon-era and the fascist storm clouds above the world today and ask, "How can we move toward a hopeful future?"
Featuring new illustrations from D Moses, this book tracks the authors' journeys from before the 2024 election, through transition, exile, and toward a future that is free.
A new entry into the P'Kaydian* discourse that is sure to spark imaginations and, perhaps, ire, I Saw the Pink Light Glow is a bright beam pink of light in a darkening world...
