Queer Books
Under the Umbrella stocks books across all genres and for all ages, including current and classic fiction, nonfiction, poetry, graphic novels, and more. Every book in our store is either queer in content and/or written by queer authors. We also focus on books by small presses and self-published queer authors that you won’t find in general bookstores. We flip the script on the traditional prioritization of the publishing industry by further prioritizing the works and stories of Black queers—especially Black transgender women—Indigenous queers, and other queers of color, disabled queers, fat queers, two-spirit people, intersex people, asexual and aromantic people, incarcerated queer people, queer sex workers, and other identities within the queer community that experience further marginalization, even within the queer community. As Sylvia Rivera said, there’s no pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.
Mystery Gift
Do you love giving presents but hate picking them out? Let us help! Buy a Mystery Gift! package, answer some questions, and the Under the Umbrella Gift Squad will put together the perfect* gift for your loved one (no judgment if you buy one for yourself!). Gift wrapping included! Pick it up for free or add on shipping! * ”Perfect” meaning we’re going to do our best--but if they don’t like it, it’s not on you, and they can exchange or return for store credit.
