🔥 PROJECT LAUNCH! LIVE ON 🔥 A hypnotic new illuminated art book edition of the original vampire novel, written by Sheridan Le Fanu and illustrated by , now elaborately illustrated and presented as a breathtaking slipcase-housed coffee table book.

Le Fanu’s 1871 novel inspired Stoker’s DRACULA and pioneered depictions of q***r desire in literary fiction. Rosemary Valero-O’Connell has created a tender and menacing portfolio of original illustrations tangling with the complex legacy of a landmark novel suffused with unfulfilled yearning between two young women. This magnetic and seductive tome, also featuring an original introduction from acclaimed novelist Poppy Z. Brite, joins Beehive’s ongoing ILLUMINATED EDITIONS series of oversized slipcase art book reinventions of classic literary works.

We are live on Kickstarter as of only moments ago. Link in bio or at www.beehivebooks.com/carmilla.

Only two days left on our LAAB #3 Kickstarter campaign and still a long way to go. If we don’t reach out funding goal, we can’t continue to publish LAAB.

It's 2024, and the world is engulfed in war, catastrophe, exploitation and madness. A lot of folks are at capacity and a cartoon newspaper is, rightly, at the top of no one's priorities. But we believe in LAAB as a platform for the radical imagination. As a space for human expression, curiosity, creativity. We’re proud of and humbled the work our authors have entrusted into our hands. We want to keep this experiment going.

Please consider pledging or spreading the word, if you're able. If not, we love you just the same.

Our Kickstarter campaign is live until Thursday night at beehivebooks.com/laab or the link in our bio.

KICKSTARTER LAUNCH: The new issue LAAB, our ongoing annual-esque newsprint journal of the radical imagination, is LIVE! Masterminded by Ronald Wimberly, LAAB #3: THREE'S COMPANY concerns itself with the number three, from the holy trinity to the menage a trois. The erotic, the sacred, the profane, the 1970s sitcom -- you can find them all here, in what is actually the fourth issue of the newspaper. Featuring writing from Vanessa Place, Jillian McManemin and Audre Lorde, and comics from Anuj Shrestha, Bhanu Pratap, Celine Loup. E.S. Glenn, Hussein Adil, James Harvey, Kelly Bjork, Lamar Abrams, Melek Zertal, Oliver Ono, Patrick Mckeown, Ronald Wimberly, Shannon Wright, Nevyets, and Yahya Ashour.

We cannot do this without our small but growing committed corps of readers and fellow travelers. LAAB is one of our favorite things we do at Beehive, and it's always on a bit of a bubble as to whether we can keep it going. We hope you'll help us spread the word and keep independent publishing viable. Please consider pledging on Kickstarter (link in bio or at beehivebooks.com/laab), preordering on our website, or sharing with anyone in your world who might be interested.

The campaign will run until midnight on Thursday, October 3rd. We have lots of great pieces to share along the way. Deep thanks to everyone who puts their energy or their funds into making projects like this possible.

PINOCCHIO: An Illuminated Edition, masterminded by Mike Mignola and Lemony Snicket, drops in bookstores worldwide today!...

PINOCCHIO: An Illuminated Edition, masterminded by Mike Mignola and Lemony Snicket, drops in bookstores worldwide today! In celebration of Carlo Collodi's strange, hilarious, maddening fable, Mignola and Snicket have created a singularly bizarre publication, which is now loosed upon a world which may never be the same.

From Mignola and colorist Dave Stewart: a vast suite of more than fifty illustrations building out Collodi's puppet-world, restoring its black humor and troubling magic, putting it through a thorough process of de-Disnification, repopulating it with wonders, horrors, ensorcellments, enigmas and everything in between, breathing new life into the charm, gloom and chaos of this beloved tale.

From Snicket: a full-text annotation documenting his encounter with this legendarily mind-immolating book, detailing a Pinocchio-induced descent into derangement and lunacy. Snicket's annotations are presented on typewritten sheets, hand-inserted by Snicket into each chapter as his confrontation with Carlo Collodi's text drives him slowly mad. Across over one hundred annotations, and sixty two removable pages slipped in amongst Collodi's text, a parallel story of a writer’s journey through this great Italian fable unfolds. Open the volume, and hastily-typed leaflets by Snicket come fluttering out.

This tenth title in our ILLUMINATED EDITIONS series is our wildest and most experimental volume yet. It is housed in a shimmering die-cut sculpturally embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated acid-free paper, and published in an oversized 9x12" trim format.

It can be obtained at beehivebooks.com or wherever books are sold. Please note that neither Beehive nor the authors take responsibility for any transformations your psyche may undergo while experiencing this book. Approach with caution.

The many demons of . Our edition of THE INFERNO, live on now, comprises a full bestiary of devils, demons and assorted unholy beings. From the thirteen varietal monsters of the Malebranche, the citizens of the ten dark funnels within the cursed city of Malebolge, the vicious Alechino, Calcabrina and Rubicante, to the great Satan himself, the icy wind of whose wings freezes the waters of lake Cocytus, all of these strange infernal creatures live in disharmony as citizens of Sophy's vision of the Pit.
