The Accidental Medium

Hard DNF on page 10 due to unnecessary transphobia.

“I like clothes but I don't follow ‘fashion'. I've always thought ‘fashion' clothes are best modelled by transvestites. Models, to me, are transvestites with vaginas, and don't come from Earth.”

There are also constant mentions of weight, a cavalier attitude towards alcoholism/ a flagrant disregard to the actual impact of alcoholism.

It sucks because I picked it up excited by the premise, and wanted to read from a Northern writer. However, this book feels a decade or more out of date, WHICH IT IS! When I looked up the book, it says published in 2020 but it's simply a rerelease with a more modern cover. This book would have done SO MUCH BETTER with editing that would've picked up the change in attitude towards these things.
