Award-winning author Sarah Gailey reinvents the pulp Western with an explicitly antifascist, near-future story of queer identity

"That girl's got more wrong notions than a barn owl's got mean looks."

Esther is a stowaway. She's hidden herself away in the Librarian's book wagon in an attempt to escape the marriage her father has arranged for her--a marriage to the man who was previously engaged to her best friend. Her best friend who she was in love with. Her best friend who was just executed for possession of resistance propaganda. The future American Southwest is full of bandits, fascists, and queer librarian spies on horseback trying to do the right thing.

Praise for Sarah Gailey

"This hippopotamus epic is just as preposterously fun as you could possibly have hoped--but it's also a brave, clever alternate history. River of Teeth packs one hell of a gold-plated bite."--Charlie Jane Anders on River of Teeth

"Full of suspense and magic, with a protagonist as sharp and tart as a lemon, Sarah Gailey has written an unmissable debut." --Adrienne Celt, on Magic for Liars

"Blisteringly imaginative, and written with a sly, sharp wit." --Kate Elliott on River of Teeth

"It broke my heart, and I longed for the world of this story anyway." --Kat Howard on Magic for Liars

"Weird and wonderful . . . Sarah Gailey is a writer to watch." --Chuck Wendig
