We sat down with Elias Cold to talk about their gothic regency-inspired YA fantasy, THE DUKE STEALS HEARTS & OTHER BODY PARTS — a darkly comedic, queer coming-of-age story where a magical trans teen investigates a string of missing girls. 🖤✨ In our interview, Elias shares how their background as a medical geneticist shaped the book’s focus on anatomy, how Mary Shelley, Tim Burton, and gothic classics inspired the world’s eerie aesthetic, and why regency settings are a perfect sandbox for exploring queer and neurodivergent narratives.
