OUT NOW! The Freak Pit presents Heart and Sole
Back in May I mentioned a co-writing project with Achilles King and WELL! Here it is!
You can purchase Heart and Sole on Itch.io, Payhip, or through the retailers listed here!
And in case you missed the reveal on my socials, here’s the wonderful cover for Heart and Sole, illustrated by Angel (bluesky):
We hope you enjoy Heart and Sole! Achilles and I had a blast writing it, and we’re cooking up a few more titles to bring to you in the back half of 2025, so stay tuned! :D

Thorney Rec Corner
Been a minute since I’ve done a rec corner, so here’s a few things I enjoyed recently!
The Burn of a Bourbon Soaked Cherry by MJ Marlowe - I have been CHOMPING AT THE BIT for this release since I beta-read it. MJ has crafted something truly sexy and heartwrenching and gorgeous. If you like Holt from NMADLY, you’ll love Ira. 😈 (MJ is also on itch.io!)
Hypatos by Rey Rider - Dionysus if you read this I’m free on Thursday night and would like to hang out, please respond to this and then hang out with me on Thursday night when I’m free… Seriously though, this was so lush and decadent, and I’m looking forward to reading more from this author!
By the Bootstrap by Gem Fletcher - Trans guy doms his cis coworker and it’s fuckin’ HOT. I feel like this was written for me, personally.
Angel/Pearl by FrictionPress - This was a fantastic horny time. Trans m/m/m with a fun little plot twist. :)
Also check out the Citrus Con bundle which is brimming with queer comics and books, including The Fealty of Monsters by Ladz, Mercy by Ian Haramaki, and His Sacred Heart by Morgan Dante. The bundle ends tomorrow, June 22nd!
