Really enjoyed these short reads . With all short stories, I enjoyed some more than others. However, the introduction set up each story where they all made sense as a collective.

Many (if not all?) of the stories were queer or had a kink to them, but none were “just sex”. All of the stories felt very introspective and introduced people feeling through sex, rather than sex in isolation. It explored grief, race, gender, and self-love. Was also great to read stories of trans, non binary and gay sex.
Really enjoyed - even wished some stories were longer.

Very short so read in a day. Especially liked the first story ‘swipe right for non-humans’ and ‘anima kingdom’. Least favourites was maybe ‘circuit jam’, but only because I found it a bit harder to follow, and ‘the ghostly cruiser’, because I felt the other stories had more dimensions.
