August Prather Is Not Dead Yet

An incredible LGBTQ story for fans of TJ Klune’s HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA.

Katherine Garnet is a writer who has never cared much about anything, making it awfully difficult to create new content. Despite the fact she has the "edge" of being trans (according to her cis male editor), she is not looking to capitalize on her own personal story.

Desperate for inspiration, Garnet tries to sneak a peek at her rival August Prather's latest fantasy manuscript about a quest for the elixir of life. While reading, Garnet gets accidently dragged into a bizarre cross-country road trip and begins to see parallels between the manuscript and their journey.

Along the way, they encounter a parade of equally colorful individuals, including ghost-hunting priests, a robot magician, a discarded piece of furniture, a runaway teenager, and a Japanese rock star.

As Garnet confronts her past, she begins to understand why someone might want to live forever.
