The title story, "All the Names They Used for God," is a story of Islamic extremists kidnapping young Christian girls and forcibly converting them. As such, I'm not sure whether this should include the warning for Islamophobia or not.madtnation's review against another edition

All The Names for God was my favourite out of all of the stories here. Manus lost me a little with the dystopian fiction. There was a lot of genres tackled (with mermaids too) but overall it kept me interested and felt like a mixed bag of many genres in one book.
Moderate: Sexual assault, Kidnapping, and Rape

Each of the stories in this collectuon is wonderfully written. I would gladly read each as a full novel, but telling such robust and captivating tales in a short story format is beyond impressive. I would recommend this collection to anyone.

Some stories in this book deal with difficult topics, but it is worth the read. Content warning for title story.sistermagpie's review against another edition
