Fantastic range of stories here from both authors I know, and authors I haven't heard of yet (and Mandelo went out of his way to get authors in translation too, which is not normally an angle I see anthologies go for as a baseline). This comes out in May, and I highly recommend using your Christmas money to make a preorder now.

This was a pretty good book! I do love it when a book covers queer topics and calls out items and topics that may not be talked about enough. It was pretty good, but the author needs to improve the writing with more show not just telling

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

This was lovely. Usually with short story collections and anthologies it feels like there’s a lull mid-book, either because of the quality of the writing or the quality or the editing. That was not the case here. Most of the stories were fantastic and would stand up all on their own, and they were ordered in a really thoughtful way so that the whole ends up being greater than the sum of its parts. This collection gave me some new authors to follow, the explorations of soon-to-be dystopian (or possibly utopian?) futures was incredible creative, and overall it was super entertaining.

This is an extremely important read. The cover is gorgeous and creative. The stories are creative, dark, and almost hard to comprehend as they are other worldly. Some of them draw on current events and speak for important injustices as well. I heavily enjoyed the stories in this book and will be purchasing a physical edition to treasure forever.

Thank you immensely for allowing me to read these works of art.

I received an advanced copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is an excellent book.
