I really enjoyed this book! It was a mixed collection, but with more good than average and more average than meh, so really solid overall.
There's sort of something for everyone in this collection - there's sexy paranormal horror and contemplative familial sci fi and comedic fantasy job applications. It's all very very queer and a LOT of it was very trans, so it was super up my alley a lot of the time. And sometimes, when it wasn't, it just wasn't my kind of genre/story!
I highly recommend this collection if you want some speculative short stories with queer men, especially if you're an existing fan of any of these authors! When I was done with the stories I followed a bunch of them on social media and I'm excited to see what they do next 👀
