Transmogrify! by g. haron davis
3.0

An anthology filled with magical stories by trans authors? Give me 500 of ‘em! 

Like any anthology, some of these stories were impactful & brilliant & clever & creative and others were a bit more forgettable. I’m taking note of several authors with standout tales so that I can hopefully continue to follow their work.

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of diversity across these stories. I wanted to hear from a much broader range of voices and highlight different sorts of main characters and stories with all sorts of themes and tones. But anthologies are never perfect, and I’m happy I picked this one up.
 
CW: transphobia, body horror, misgendering, suicide
