WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING

"

Zven Graves is without a doubt one of the most visceral writers I've had the pleasure of reading. Their story "Gerald" was one of the few pieces I've read to ever bring tears to my eyes. They're a writer no one should ever skip out on!

"

Sometimes, a family is a skimpily-dressed femboi, a musically-inclined chef, and a captain who isn't as self aware as he thinks...

"

Graves's writing sure does take you places. Sometimes weird places...
