"LANDLOCKED IN FOREIGN SKIN is a blend of far-future science and ancient folkloric religion...sharp and quirky."
-- Ai Jiang, Stoker and Nebula award-winning author of Linghun and I Am AI
How far would you go to reclaim your stolen body?
The Fisherman would do anything.
Anything to return to their natural, monstrous state in the alien oceans of Europa. But they've been kidnapped, trapped on a human ship, forced into human form--very pathetic--and dragged into the mad Dame Isobel's plot to find an eldritch god. Dame Isobel's a young billionaire heiress who also seems...very interested in sharing a bed with the Fisherman. Strange. All of this is strange.The Fisherman can't fathom why anyone would want to be human.
Dame Isobel is desperate to find an eldritch god in the hopes that it will heal her mortally-injured girlfriend. Stuck in a female human form, the Fisherman is pulled into a toxic romantic relationship with Dame Isobel-- in a world where being LGBT is punishable by death. In the midst of this insanity, it's quite clear to the Fisherman: Humanity is confusing, inefficient, and messy.
When Isobel reveals that she will never let the Fisherman go, even if they find the god, the Fisherman knows:
It's time to get violent.
