Tales to Delight!


These amazing graphic novels from wonderful, queer creators are just the thing to read this Pride! Join us in-store to hear from BRADLEY CLAYTON, illustrator of West Hollywood Monster Squad, and JULIE ROBINE, illustrator of Renegade Girls: A Queer Tale of Romance and Rabble-Rousing. From pink snow monsters in LA to journalistic moxy in LA – these books have it all!


West Hollywood Monster Squad illustrated by BRADLEY CLAYTON

Marvin Matocho just wanted to have a simple night out with his friends at the local drag show. But when a mysterious pink snow starts to fall, Los Angeles suddenly becomes overrun by monsters.

Now Marvin, along with his group of friends consisting of several queer teens, a drag queen, and a 50-something bar manager, are the only folks who can prevent the complete annihilation of the city—that is, if they can sort through their personal issues before they become dead meat.

Who's behind the snow? Can they be stopped? With the city of angels endangered by demons, these misfits will have to solve the mystery—or die trying.


Renegade Girls: A Queer Tale of Romance and Rabble-Rousing illustrated by JULIE ROBINE

Seventeen-year-old Helena “Nell” Cusack came to New York this summer looking for a story—a real story. But so far she's only managed to land a job as a lowly society reporter.

That is, until Alice Austen strolls into her life, an audacious street photographer who encourages Nell to shake up polite society…and maybe take a chance on love.

When her best friend, Lucia, is injured while working in a garment factory, Nell is determined to crack the story wide open. But as Nell’s rag-tag, undercover reporting gains momentum, so do the objections of those who oppose her.
