Welcome to the Void: A Countershade Introduction

About this event

The world is circling down the drain. At least it feels like it is! In this new world of flux and flow, new alternative methods of thinking are required, stat. A queer publishing press is popping up in Olympia, specializing in speculative fiction (scifi, fantasy, horror, etc). But what's this got to do with the end of the world? Come meet the publishers of Countershade Press, Jonah and Austin Barnett, as they introduce you to their alternative worlds. Audiences can expect to learn more about the press, a theatrical soundscape performance, and a monster drag show hosted by Luna DeLyte. About Countershade Press: Countershade Press is a new, queer indie publisher founded by husbands Jonah and Austin Barnett. The press specializes in queer fantastical fiction from the Pacific Northwest. Based in Olympia, the press brings together Jonah's background in queer writing, filmmaking, publishing, and arts stewardship along with Austin's experience in theater, arts education, and community leadership. The goal of Countershade is to keep imaginative queer literature alive and thriving while fostering meaningful, collaborative relationships with queer PNW creatives.
