Lee Mandelo dives into the minds of wolves in Feed Them Silence, a novella of the near future. What does it mean to “be-in-kind” with a nonhuman animal? Or in Dr. Sean Kell-Luddon’s case, to be in-kind with one of the last remaining wild wolves?
Using a neurological interface to translate her animal subject’s perception through her own mind, Sean intends to chase both her scientific curiosity and her secret, lifelong desire to experience the intimacy and freedom of wolfishness. To see the world through animal eyes; smell the forest, thick with olfactory messages; even taste the blood and viscera of a fresh kill. And, above all, to feel the belonging of the pack.
Sean’s tireless research gives her a chance to fulfill that dream, but pursuing it has a terrible cost. Her obsession with work endangers her fraying relationship with her wife. Her research methods threaten her mind and body. And the attention of her VC funders could destroy her subject, the beautiful wild wolf whose mental world she’s invading.

face your fears with chilling trans* horror books
💀 one of my favorite things about horror? it can be incredibly empowering. these books have FANGS and CLAWS, but also leave you with some amazingly cathartic righteous rage & something real to chew on.
i’d love to invite you to join me for the second annual trans rights readathon. march 22-29! we’ll read trans* books and fundraise for trans* organizations. i’m fundraising for the Transgender Law Center.
