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.

Design & LED Queens

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.

Consulting, Collaboration, and Cultural Work

Beyond the page and the studio, Cesar works as a brand and product strategist and consultant with a focus on queer media, indie publishing, and customer-centered advocacy. They have consulted for Fortune 100 brands, advised startups, spoken at conferences, and taught workshops on writing, identity, and intersectional leadership. If you're looking to collaborate—or bring them in as a speaker, consultant, or thought partner—you can explore offerings via the Consulting page or reach out directly. 

A Living Mythology

Cesar writes for the outsiders who never saw themselves in the future. Their work offers maps and interdimensional portals—strange, shimmering, and sometimes mystic—for what comes next in consciousness. Whether you found them through a book, a pair of rad 80's bodybuilding tights, or a dispatch on the internet, welcome. You’re already inside the story. Keep it queer.
