Perilune Press is a small, independent publisher devoted to queer speculative fiction. We aim to bring more representation into the world through the books we share, focusing on stories where characters defy the odds.

Independent

Every title is chosen and shaped with intention and care.

Author-first

We prioritize the unique voices of our authors and the stories they want to tell.

Speculative at heart

We cater to science fiction and its many literary cousins: stories that hold a mirror to the present by imagining what lies just beyond it.

You Called It Estuary

A human captain and an alien officer are wired together by an experimental neural link. The feelings growing between them can't stay hidden, and the institution that built the program must never find out. The link is a weapon. Weapons that fail get dismantled.
