## Resource

We’re back to talk about EVEN MORE QUEER HORROR. We are joined by brilliant author and returning guest Lee Mandelo to discuss Dolki Min’s 2023 novel, “Walking Practice.” If you’re queer, this book will be highly relatable to you. If you’re a shapeshifting monster from space who eats humans it will also seem familiar. All others will have to imagine. We discuss the challenges and beauty of translation, the complicated nature of our unreliable bodies, and maybe even trauma dump a little. Go follow us on Patreon to get access to exclusive content like our April 28th livestream/video episode! Go learn more about Lee Mandelo and buy his books!!
