happy ✨ cover reveal day ✨ to THE IRON GARDEN SUTRA!. The first time I finished my readthrough, I loved it so much that I had to call a friend at 2am and cry about it. I can’t wait for you all to be crying too. Read an excerpt below! ⬇️.
Vessel likes meeting people. They just often happen to be dead when he gets there. We are thrilled to reveal the cover (and an excerpt!) of A. D. Sui's The Iron Garden Sutra, out from @ErewhonBooks on February 24, 2026!.

the cover for auden’s queer & trans dark academia retelling of hamlet is absolutely legendary and you 🫵 need to go look at it.
Hey no big deal, absolutely no biggie, but you can see the cover of my dreams and the prologue of my debut novel, THOUGHTS BE BLOODY on the Nerdist!.

I’m thrilled to have Seren as part of the Azantian team! . I couldn’t put APPARATUS down; I stayed up all night reading and drafted my offer email as dawn broke. Emotional, anti-imperialist, and with a protagonist I’d follow to the ends of the earth, I can’t wait to share! ⚔️🪶.
Ultimately, the Sword picks the Scribe — but I think @smlechon and I work better as partners, wouldn’t you say? . After the most stressful month of my life, I thought I'd want rest, but no. We have so many more queer, cutting, and unflinchingly Filipino stories to talk about 🪶

I’m looking to bring back some classics: dystopian and steampunk settings like STATION ELEVEN and Arcane, respectively.

I love all types and age ranges of horror, but I don’t get a lot of these submissions in YA! I’d love to see more of them.

And for some updated things I’m looking for, alongside the above:. High concept and YA/Adult mysteries/thrillers, like THE BLONDE DIES FIRST and THE LAST MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
