About Cesar Torres
Cesar Torres is a queer futurist, novelist, and worldbuilder whose work spans literature, fashion, and speculative design. Their stories fuse Aztec myth, sci-fi horror, and radical queer imagination into new mythologies that resonate for audiences in these times of fractured media landscapes and technological transformation. Through novels, digital dispatches, and even clothing, Cesar creates portals—not just stories. They are the author of the acclaimed sci-fi horror series The Coil, as well as How to Kill a Superhero, a queer erotica saga that has garnered a global cult following.
Cesar is an indie author by choice, and they build everything from the ground up without waiting for institutional permission. Their work has been described as “visionary,” “unapologetically queer,” and “deeply mythic.”
Fiction & Publishing
Cesar’s flagship series, The Coil, explores queer survival, techno-spiritual collapse, and the dynamics of human violence across a world infused with ancient deities and biotech totalitarian nightmares. The series blends literary sci-fi, horror, and Mesoamerican mysticism in a tone both poetic and brutal. Their parallel ouvre, How to Kill a Superhero, helped establish Cesar as a distinct voice in the realm of queer erotic fiction—fearless in its exploration of fetish, body horror, and metaphysics. All of their books are published and distributed independently. Cesar is currently preparing to release Hall of Mirrors, volume 3 of the Coil. That novel is set to publish in early 2026.
Strategist & Entrepreneur
Alongside my work as a writer, I bring deep experience as a product strategist, consultant, and entrepreneur. I’ve led digital transformation initiatives for Fortune 100 clients, most recently as Director of Product & Strategy at Razorfish, where I shaped roadmaps for Ford Pro’s EV charging and financial products. My expertise spans:
- CRM & Salesforce Integration: Partnering with cross-functional teams to align pipeline opportunities, customer success, and GTM execution.
- Knowledge Management & Content Strategy: Building scalable systems that enable advisor enablement, customer education, and organizational growth.
- Financial Product Strategy: Roadmaps for loans, lines of credit, and EV adoption incentives in regulated B2B environments.
- Startup Growth: As founder of LED Queens, I built a niche fitness apparel brand into a profitable business through community-driven marketing and product innovation.
This dual perspective—enterprise consulting and entrepreneurial growth—allows me to help organizations scale with creativity, inclusivity, and precision.
Design, LED Queens and LGBTQ Advocacy
Cesar is the founder and creative force behind LED Queens, a queer sportswear brand that merges retro-futurist fashion with gender-expansive aesthetics. Every design reflects their commitment to embodiment, resistance, and play. From tights and shorts to full-scale collections, LED Queens honors queer bodies through visibility, color, and technical beauty. The brand operates as a sister limb to Cesar’s literary work, translating mythic themes into wearable form.
