SUMMER SHADE: A NOVELLA by Lee Arden

Deep in the hills of Southern Kentucky, a group of trans weirdos with magical powers have gathered, building DIY cabins in the woods, tending to herb gardens, and sharing zines, tattoos, feasts, and gossip: Summer Shade. As the community prepares for their big Equinox party, Alix, a scrappy punk trans girl whose antennae give her glimpses of the sensations and memories of people around her, is on her way there, guided by a sense that at Summer Shade, she’ll be able to be part of something bigger than her own worries and memories and insecurities.

Summer Shade gives us a world where strange and powerful people come together to take care of each other and build a community.
