Habitat

Named one of Literary Hub’s 100 Notable Small Press Books of 2025

“Kerns has conjured an all too possible epic dystopia beginning with bio-tech capitalism run amok and spiraling toward an inevitable post-apocalyptic landscape. From a patchwork boy of transplanted body parts and the genetic copies of celebrity pets to an end of the world bunker experiment that sets the stage for far future chaos, Habitat is an incisive, genre-bending, and thrilling work that holds a lens to how corporate bottom lines both offer near-term bandages while also setting us up for our potential destruction. A fantastic tapestry of a dystopian world that I couldn’t put down.”

– Sequoia Nagamatsu, author of How High We Go in the Dark
