About Cesar Torres

Author Cesar Torres

Cesar Torres is a queer futurist, worldbuilder, and architect of multiverses whose work spans literature, fashion, and design. Their work fuses their Aztec mythology, sci-fi horror, and queer identity into new mythologies that resonate across new media and 21st century art and literature.

Through their novels, digital essays, provocative photography and immersive brand experiences, Cesar creates worlds—not just stories. They are the author of the acclaimed sci-fi horror series The Coil, as well as the How to Kill a Superhero saga. As a pioneer of the "indie-first" movement, Cesar builds entire worlds from the ground up, proving that the most powerful narratives are those born outside institutional permission.

Architect of Multiverses & Multimedia Artist

Cesar does not just write books; they construct living analog and digital ecosystems. As an Architect of Multiverses, Cesar treats narrative as a living infrastructure. Their work explores the intersection of ancient deities and biotech nightmares, bridging the gap between the mythic past and a transhumanist future.

  • The Coil Universe: Cesar’s flagship series explores queer survival and techno-spiritual collapse. In 2026, this universe expands with the release of of the latest book in the series Hall of Mirrors (The Coil, Volume 3).
  • The Power of Xochipilli: Torres' Our Lord of the Flowers is a brand new novel that also manifests as photos and essays. Through this multimedia portal, they take us on a journey where the god of flowers, leather culture, hoarding disorder and grief intersect.
  • The Erotic Metaphysics: Through the How to Kill a Superhero saga, Cesar established a fearless voice in queer erotic fiction, blending body horror with high-concept metaphysics.
  • A New Era of Visibility: In 2026, Cesar is scaling their presence as a leading voice in speculative design and queer futurism. They are available for keynote speaking, podcast appearances, and workshops on worldbuilding, the future of indie media, and the intersection of AI and identity.

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.

The Legacy of LED Queens: From Apparel to Creative Studio

For nearly a decade, LED Queens stood as a beacon of queer strength in the world of fitness. Founded by Cesar in 2017, the brand merged retro-futurist aesthetics with gender-expansive sportswear, honoring queer bodies through color and technical beauty.

As we move into a new era, LED Queens has evolved from a retail apparel brand into a Creative Studio and Legacy Project. The "Apparel Years" remain a vital part of Cesar’s history—a proof of concept for how a niche story can become a profitable, community-driven business. Today, the spirit of LED Queens lives on through:

  • Creative Strategy & Coaching: Cesar now uses the blueprint of LED Queens to guide other queer and BIPOC founders in building their own "multiverses"—transforming passion projects into sustainable, story-driven brands.
  • Wearable Mythology: While the retail focus has shifted, the visual language of LED Queens continues to influence Cesar’s multimedia art and worldbuilding.
  • The Studio Model: LED Queens now operates as the engine behind Cesar’s consulting practice, focusing on brand identity, content systems, and the "Queer Strength" philosophy.
