One of the things that makes Tamsyn Muir’s fantasy novel
Gideon the Ninth so deeply satisfying to read is the giddy joy it takes in playing with different genre tropes. Sometimes I imagine Muir as a cackling

do.
That’s part of why I always summarize this book as “lesbian necromancers in space.” It feels a little reductive, but it also comes as close as anything can to gesturing at all the trope-swirling glee going on here. (Plus, trying to summarize a plot this complicated any other way is a fool’s game.)

Vinegar Syndrome is no different, and their November releases are often among their most memorable.

The label also assisted in distributing two new releases from partner labels. So join me as I turn off the lights, close the curtains an important step when viewing VS titles and dig into most of these new releases.
