Here is the incredible front cover art from Val Hal:
When Stevie starts seeing floating orbs, they call a spiritual pest control company for guidance. Harriett and Marcy—two queer, punk lesbians—welcome Stevie into a world of otherworldly creatures, tree people, and something called the bone spider. Equal parts slice-of-life, queer romance and body horror, Cosmic Dyke Patrol is a story about how everyone is worthy of love, no matter how weird.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR COSMIC DYKE PATROL
“What if all the Ghostbusters had lesbian sex? What if Slimer was an it/its dyke? What if a portal to an alien world appeared in your mom’s basement? Exactly how long does it take for a person to turn into a tree? Gislason tells you in this romantic body horror action adventure!”
—Briar Ripley Page
“Grab your carabiner and save the family you chose in this charming, sexy, and gory story where the eldritch horrors are as terrifying as the generational trauma that brought the patrol together in the first place.”
—Ladz, author of The Cradle of Eternal Night
“The first few pages of COSMIC DYKE PATROL read like a hilarious, queer, larger-than-life version of Ghostbusters…but as I got further and further into the book, I realized that this is a love story celebrating found family, weird dimensions and beings, true identity, glorious and goopy sex, and the true power that resides in community. If you’re looking for a wild ride with plenty of action, some seriously scary monsters, and loads of heart, pick up a copy of COSMIC DYKE PATROL.”
—Tiffany Michelle Brown, Author of How Lovely to Be a Women: Stories and Poems, Co-host of the Horror in the Margins podcast
“Gislason takes readers on a wild ride with Cosmic Dyke Patrol. A heartwarming tale of found family and strange otherworldly creatures, with a sprinkle of sexy, a dash of grief, and hearty dollop of goop, this book had me on a rollercoaster of laughing to crying and back again. This is exactly the kind of horror the world needs more of right now.”
—Emma E. Murray, author of Crushing Snails
