"Eat. They twisted in deeper. Eat. Still so simple. An impulse. Repeated again and again. Eat..."
"Acid-bath class struggle intermingles with parasitic terror in Briana N. Cox's slippery, slithering, symbiotically suffocating debut." - Clay McLeod Chapman, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
"This damning portrayal of U.S. health care doubles as a potent, unforgettable creepfest." - Kirkus Reviews

LEIGH PIERCE ESTATES is home to a diverse array of tenants: families, immigrants, students, the forgotten elderly. All working poor, and all in danger. Because the tenants of Leigh Pierce are disappearing.

Live-in handyman Xavier seems to be the only one who notices. Or cares. After a chance encounter with the culprit leaves him infected with something horrifying, Xavier is thrust into a surreal nightmare of starvation and consumption all too familiar to his gentrifying Atlanta neighborhood.

Succumbing to his infection, Xavier is drawn into the cobbled-together family squatting in Leigh Pierce's basement. People who, through a myriad of doomed roads, fell into the same self-destructive cycle of indigency, harboring dark secrets... and darker appetites. Trapped in a dynamic of codependency and complicity, Xavier and his family- new and old- are forced to confront the cost of survival in a world that has disregarded them.

Hi--this is going to look a little different this month. I am having a bit of a rough go of it and honestly don't have the spoons to format this post like I normally do. What I do have is my spreadsheet of upcoming/recent releases with disability rep with all of that information. So I'm inserting screenshots of that, and then I'll link the books as normal below.
In the future, everything will be nicely formatted again--this is just to get me caught up for the last two months while I still am fighting off a chronic fatigue flare. If you use a screenreader and this isn't accessible for you, please let me know and I'll get you a written out version when I have a chance.
