The Books Oracle

But Not Too Bold

by H. Pueyo

A sapphic gothic romance where a monstrous Lady—an enormous humanoid spider with a laudanum habit—devours the old keeper and ensnares a new one in her capricious web. Mexican Gothic meets The Shape of Water in this novella of desire, danger, and creatures who refuse to be tamed. A lush, transgressive fairy tale soaked in queer longing and gothic decay.
