One of my anticipated new releases for this year. In Palaces of the Crow, four young people shelter deep in the Lithuanian forest during the worst of World War II. As war rages around them, they must depend on their own wilderness skills and the help of the curiously intelligent crows that live in the forest to survive.

Nayler has done the octopus book and the mammoth book to great effect, and in this novel, he moves on to the crow book. Unlike his previous novels, Palaces of the Crow has a solidly historical setting and doesn't venture far into the realm of the speculative, outside the slightly more intelligent crows. This book is also more interested in character interiority than Nayler's previous novels. Rather than broad concepts, it's focused tightly on four people's struggle to survive: Neriya, daughter of a Jewish doctor; Czeslaw, an underage soldier cut off from the Red Army; Kezia, a Roma girl who escaped the massacre of her family; and a young boy who can't speak. The setting is confined to one Lithuanian forest far from the broad historical sweep of death camps or armies. But the story is all the more vivid for the claustrophobia of the setting. All of our protagonists know that every faction that moves through the woods, from actual Nazis to the Red Army to Lithuanian peasants, would happily shoot them and leave them dead in an unmarked grave. And meanwhile, the harsh winters and increasingly scarce game can kill them just as easily...

We just uploaded all 6 issues of Volume 9 of On Our Backs to the Internet Archive! We've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to digitize a large collection of issues and have been slowly working through what we have, and we're hoping to upload more before long, and we're so excited to make more issues accessible to people online again!

If you know anything about the magazine's history since it was discontinued, you know there's been a lot of fighting over censorship and who has the right to access these essential pieces of S/M dyke culture. We'd love to post these and have no problem preserving access to them over time, but we want to plan for the possibility of censorship, so we want to ask for your help.

Download the files to these issues, and any other issue you can find (the rest of the publicly available issues we're aware of are included in our pinned post), save the file to an external hard drive, post it as a separate upload in other archives or anywhere you know of to share files like these. Make art from the scans, share screenshots on social media, show your friends. We'd love a link to help people find our archive and our page to support our work and see what else we do, but the important thing is that we get these scans to as many places as possible so it's impossible to completely wipe them off the internet.
