We Won't Be Here Tomorrow: And Other Stories (2022)
Margaret Killjoy
"I always feel such relief and recognition reading one of Margaret Killjoy's stories. Here there are punks and monsters and orcs and the always-approaching apocalypse, and none of the alienating niceties of middle-class aspirations. She's not writing nice stories about nice people. It's all hope and hunger and dirt under your fingernails instead. Thank f#$%."
The Four Profound Weaves (2020)
(Birdverse, book 1)
R B Lemberg
"Reading the first pages of The Four Profound Weaves feels like being invited into the home of a beautiful stranger. As you sit with these characters and come to know them, you too will feel know. In reading this story about recognition and transformation, I felt recognized and transformed. It’s a fantastic alchemy on Lemberg’s part, and their love and labor shines off the page. I don’t know any writer that could so skillfully take me apart with a story, or put me back together with such care. This was a story I didn’t know I desperately needed."
