It’s here! My newest book, The Thickest Soup You’ve Got, is out now! Available where books are sold. Links in bio. Weird, queer, & oozing with fun, this collection has been brewed to delight and haunt you far past the last crumbs on your plate. Thanks to @slashic_horror!

@HightowerLaurel @SpencerAustrian Thanks, Laurel. Much appreciated.🖤

I’m sitting on two novellas now. The feeling of loss that came with the DLP issues is real. Need to rehome my book because this one is ready for the world. Struggling to find leads with it.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@EnPocalypsePub @candace_nola Absolutely cannot wait. This is going to be a banger.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@matthews_mark Haha I wish! I trust the process of others more than I trust myself to know what I’m doing in the publishing world.

@evelyn_freeling Thank you, Evelyn. This means the world!

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@beedeebrave Thank you! This is so kind of you.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@_rae_wilde @OffLimitsPress Thank you, Rae!

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@OffLimitsPress Thank you so much! Just sent an email.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

So anyways, that’s my plea. I need help. I think these books could both do some good. I think they’re ready to be enjoyed. Ready to be hated. Ready to be loved. Thank you.

My other book, THIS HOUSE IS NOT A HOUSE, was thankfully not a part of the DLP fiasco, but also desperately needs a home. This one is a horror comedy, Hellraiser meets Happiest Season, and is grotesque as hell. It’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever written.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

I’m terrible at championing my voice and my work, but I need to get this one back out there. It’s fully edited and ready to go. 30k words of queer, weird horror. Supernatural slasher, cult in the woods and other unclassifiable strangeness.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

FIDDLE STICKS AND STEPPING STONES is a book about trauma, acceptance, and love. I think it has the power to do a lot of good. I think it’s beautifully weird. It’s angry. It’s cautiously optimistic. It’s dangerous. It’s about all the work we do to untangle the pains of the past.

The Thickest Soup You’ve Got, my newest collection of culinary horror is out now! Link in bio. Please check it out for a fun and ghastly romp into food horror!

As writers, we need to continue to defend the arts against soulless A I bullshit, and that absolutely includes our artist and design community members. We needed to get out ahead of this and hold the line. No A I in art y'all

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@matthews_mark Oof. Yes. I feel that big. So many things to peel back and examine.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

I watched I Saw the TV Glow the other day and am still feeling deeply affected by it. It was a horror that lingered because it was so relatable and cut deep. Beautiful movie.

[Nikki R. Leigh @fivexxfive]

@productpdx Yes the soundscape is definitely what I think I missed out on! No I haven’t seen that one! But I’d like to. Is it good?
