V.E. Schwab’s Toxic Lesbian Vampires Book Now Has a Cover, and More Queer Book Links

We Have Always Been Here: Books About Queer History and Survival

It’s a scary time to be queer or trans in the U.S. right now, especially for multiple marginalized people. The Queer Books Database has put together a reading list that is all about queer people in other unprecedented times, from ancient history to the AIDS crisis and more. Titles include Never Say You Can’t Survive by Charlie Jane Anders and A Renaissance of Our Own by Rachel Cargle.

The introduction says, “The original title for this list was How We Survive but not all of us have. All I can really say is that we exist, and we always have. There is not a history, a time, or a people without us, and—whatever else the future looks like—there never will be.”

Cover Reveal for Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab

V. E. Schwab is the bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, the Shades of Magic series, and many others, and we now have a cover for her new book: Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. In her Instagram announcement for the book, Schwab teased, “The toxic lesbian vampires are coming.” In a statement for People, Schwab said,

“For many years, and many books, I’ve tried to make my identity smaller, more palatable. I think this novel is a reckoning — both with myself and with my work. It’s unapologetic, a tale of hunger and the many shapes it takes. Hunger for life, for freedom, for love for more.”

“Toxic lesbian vampires” is an easy sell for me, so this is one of my most anticipated releases of 2025.
