It’s early summer in New York City, 2020. The city is largely shut down, and Orpheus—our queer, disabled, poly hero—is lonely, devoid of touch and community. Orpheus manages to buy a bike just before they sell out and takes to the streets looking for Eurydice, the first woman she fell in love with, who broke her heart. But then Orpheus hears mysterious news of the underground bar Le Monocle, fashioned after the 1930s Parisian lesbian club of the same name. Can she find it? Will she ever be allowed to love again?
First written and published online in weekly installments, Carley Moore’s Panpocalypse is the time-bending, genre-busting queer novel of our pandemic-afflicted world. Finally being released in print, the original serial is joined here by a new, epic conclusion.
