About this listen
June 25th, 1760
Jean-Baptiste,
Before I begin, I want to assure you that I am fine—in fact, you could say I am in quite good spirits considering recent events!
I’m afraid I found myself in quite the predicament—but it’s been sorted out now. My ship was boarded by a group of what I soon learned were pirates…
After Wilford Bowen is denied entry into the Royal Society of London, he sets off on a mission to discover natural marvels and earn his place in the scientific community. But his mission is off to a rocky start when he’s kidnapped by pirates, encounters parasitic wasps, and a host of other incredible Eldritch creatures. On the high seas, Wilford will need to find support within his new crew, survive dangerous encounters, collect scientific evidence of impossible beasts, all while tangling with his own complicated feelings for the friend he left behind: Jean Baptiste de Beaupré.
With every new discovery, a new mystery is unveiled and Wilford is left wondering if the greatest secret is perhaps what is hiding in the treasure room.
Pitched as Our Flag Means Death meets Lovecraft Country!

Finding Queer Love in Strange Seas
I loved everything about this book. One part early modern scientific voyage / swashbuckling tale, one part long distance queer love story, it is filled with this wholesome energy of love and discovery even as the characters face real and mortal danger from everything from fish with human faces to a massive underground worm. The love story is sweet, the action and adventure are ceaselessly imaginative and inventive, and the narration by Ben Galpin is A++ with tone and inflection delivering every line to perfection. It’s a tall tale that will stick with you. You have to read this.
