eli99's review

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.75

An interesting collection of speculative queer fiction. Some of the works are very good while a few didn't land with me. That is the case with most collections of fiction as not everything lands. I really enjoyed I AM A BEAUTIFUL BUG as a self aware metaphor for being trans.

sarah984's review against another edition

dark reflective slow-paced

2.5

I enjoyed a few stories in this collection (particularly Self Care, Estranged Children of Storybook Houses, and I Am A Beautiful Bug!) but the more poem-like pieces didn't really interest me and there were a lot of distracting usage errors in the kindle version.
