We Won't Be Here Tomorrow: And Other Stories by Margaret Killjoy
5.0
I LOVED THIS SO MUCH.
I read a story a night for like, a month, and had the weirdest dreams for all of January. Each story is like the gay, edgy novelizations of a [a:Shaun Tan|38954|Shaun Tan|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1241221057p2/38954.jpg] book set in the apocalypse. This book has death cults, mermaids, goblin rock, cyber warfare, and punk fairytales all tinged with this "summer love" nostalgia that I wanted to shoot directly into my veins. Killjoy is explicit about her anarchist/punk politics, and the revolutions she describes are irresistible. The same themes appear over and over, which can make the stories run into one another, but I liked the effect. This felt like reading a REALLY good substack that you forward to friends you haven't talked to in months because you know they will love it.
