Please welcome TRANS/FERAL by Snakeskin Press in the spotlight!
TRANS/FERAL is an anthology of trans erotica featuring the work of 20+ authors, all of them spicy and own voices.
TRANS/FERAL: AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRANS EROTICA is the second publication of Snakeskin Press and the first of the Snakeskin Voices Collection. Snakeskin Press and Trans/Feral are the brain children of two queer, indie, non-binary long-distance best friends who met online in 2024 and have never looked back since.
TRANS/FERAL is part of the realization of a shared dream the co-founders, Jake and Jess, hold dear: amplifying queer voices, specifically own voices, while creating spaces for emerging writers and making room for more established names.
The lineup includes 22 authors, each contributing a story, and every author forms part of the trans+ community. You can expect a range of themes and subgenres, from fantasy to futuristic to contemporary rockstar erotica. And every story comes with its own unique tone and flavor. All we can say is that they are all absolutely delicious.
The representation in these stories is also varied, with dynamics that include sapphic, achillean, bi+, T4T, polyamory, as well as nonbinary and other gender-queer rep.
Snakeskin Press is raising funds to pay for physical copies as well as provide a greater contribution for the anthology authors. Backer rewards include art prints, stickers, and pins.
