No Gods, No Monsters
by Cadwell Turnbull
In a series of very short stories, or vignettes, author Cadwell Turnbull introduces a big cast of characters who are all experiencing the fallout from something called the Fracture. The result is many humans have become shapeshifters, and in addition to having to deal with everyday bigotry, such as profiling, harassment and violence by police, these altered humans are killed when found. This of course results in anger and grief-ridden families and friends of those killed, in addition to confusion and some revulsion when the dead people's shifting ability is revealed.
Turnbull shows the gradual coming together of shifters, as well as a hardening of some against them, which all results in a shocking scene of violence at the end of the book.
Using fantastic abilities granted post-apocalypse, Turnbull adds an extra dimension to a story of bigotry and violence, and the way those affected can both support each other, and in some cases, turn against their own.
