Celebrate the launch of Alyson Greaves’ trans thriller, Welcome to Dorley Hall: a dark addition to queer bookshelves that asks, what if forced feminisation was the solution to toxic masculinity? 

Alyson serialised the novel on AO3, Scribblehub and Patreon and self-published the books on Amazon before she was signed by Neem Tree Press. She has amassed a fast-growing online following, with community forums, fan fiction, and fan-made merch. 

Join us for an author interview, Q&A, live reading and book signing.

About the book:

What if the only way to fix toxic masculinity were to erase it entirely?Mark Vogel is like the older brother Stefan never had, but one day he disappears without a trace. A year later, after encountering a woman who looks near-identical to Mark, Stefan becomes obsessed. He finds that dozens of young men have disappeared over the years, many of them students at the Royal College of Saint Almsworth, and most of them troubled or unruly.

Why are students going missing? Who are these women who bear striking resemblances to them? And what is their connection to the selective student accommodation on the edge of campus, Dorley Hall?Stefan starts studying at Saint Almsworth for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too. 

An electrifying début by Alyson Greaves, Welcome to Dorley Hall is an intense exploration of gender and society that will appeal to readers of Torrey Peters, Imogen Binnie and Gretchen Felker-Martin.
