Every friend and family member who encountered this book texted me about it, haha. As a creator of a sapphic werewolf romance game (Moonrise: https://www.choiceofgames.com/user-contributed/moonrise/), it was too up my alley to pass by. Though I’ve not read MJ Lyons’ work before, I grabbed a copy during a Pride Month Book Fair as soon as I spotted it.

Queer Werewolves Destroy Capitalism is a collection of smoking hot, gay, and erotic short stories. As my family and friends knew I would, I did indeed enjoy the bookending queer werewolf stories. My partner is going to enjoy the sci-fi ones. Dupin’s mystery made me smile, clap, and laugh in delight. One of my minor character flaws is I don’t really enjoy short story collections, but Lyons knocked this one out of the park. Part of it may be the length–at 128 pages, this volume is tiny–but each narrative felt complete, with nothing unanswered and without lore so unwieldy it exhausted me.

All in all, I heartily recommend Queer Werewolves Destroy Capitalism to anyone who likes gay m/m erotica, especially with trans lovers. With Lyons’ top shelf smut and thoughtful phantasm, there’s something in here for you.
