1. Brainwyrms
The book is a chilling exploration of identity, technology, and societal control, set in a dystopian world where people's thoughts and emotions are manipulated by parasitic entities known as brainwyrms. The protagonist grapples with the invasive presence of these creatures, which feed on human consciousness and blur the lines between reality and illusion. As the protagonist navigates this unsettling landscape, they must confront the implications of free will and the nature of self, ultimately questioning what it means to be truly autonomous in a world where minds are no longer private. The narrative weaves psychological horror with social commentary, creating a tense atmosphere that challenges the reader's perception of control and autonomy.

2. Tell Me I’m Worthless
A blistering, hallucinatory first-person account of a young trans person grappling with self-hatred, societal transphobia, and the urge to vanish; the narrator's voice shifts between bleak humor, intimate tenderness, and explosive rage as they navigate hostile institutions, fraught relationships, and fragile mental health. Raw, fragmented, and confrontational, the prose forces readers to witness the emotional and physical costs of living under constant invalidation while probing questions of identity, agency, and survival.
