Markus Harwood-Jones and his new book The Haunting of Adrian Yates

Markus Harwood-Jones is an aspiring TikTokker who lives in downtown Toronto with his husband, their platonic co-parent, and their extra-cute kiddo. He is the author of several YA novellas and also of the most recent Metonymy book, The Haunting of Adrian Yates. In this Gothic YA, best friends Adrian and Zoomer meet a new friend in the nearby run-down cemetery, and start hanging out with him all night, doing séances, going on 7-Eleven runs, gossiping in the laundry room, and breaking each other’s hearts. The Haunting was one of the first books we chose with our full acquisitions committee, including Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch, Kama La Mackerel, H Felix Chau Bradley, as well as the Metonymy co-publishers Ashley Fortier and Oliver Fugler. After we’d decided to work together, Markus filled in the Metonymy author questionnaire, which he later used in this video about the story behind his book. Please watch, and come to one of his events (the next one is Saturday, October 28 in Montreal).

A Natural History of Transition is Callum Angus’s debut collection of short stories whose fleshed-out settings are inextricable from the other themes running through them—of expansive and expanding transformation, of rot and decay, of restrained longing and colonial devastation and impossibly finding friendship.

Sending love to everyone - those with precarious incomes, compromised immunity, illness, anxiety, high-risk work environments, whose friends and families are far, whose roommates are terrible, who provide or require essential services, whose living situations are already painful.

It’s been 35 years since Ruth West created and released Thea’s Tarot, amid a flurry of lesbian feminist tarot decks in the US in the early 1980s. Come celebrate the first reprint since then, coordinated by local queer publisher Metonymy Press. Oliver Pickle, author of She Is Sitting in the Night: Re-visioning Thea's Tarot, will be on site for a Q&A and tarot readings. Plus, Metonymy is celebrating its four-year anniversary with drinks, a surprise guest and more!
