Soul Jar: Thirty-One Fantastical Tales by Disabled Authors by Annie Carl

3.75

I had a great time reading aloud and being read to aloud from this collection with my girlfriend, Lanelle :) This collection was a super mixed bag. Of the stories I liked, I absolutely adored them. And then, there were several that I skipped entirely! The stories ranged from speculative to dystopian to fantasy to post-apocalyptic. Of the fantasy ones, some were suuuuper high fantasy in a way that doesn't work for me in story form - these were the stories I skipped. Regardless, I loved all the disability rep, as well as the visions of speculative worlds these disabled authors dreamed of. 

Here are my favorite stories:
  • Survivors' Club by Meghan Beaudry
  • Song of Bullfrogs, Cry of Geese by Nicola Griffith
  • The Sorrow Stealer by AJ Cunder (an absolute standout!)
  • Weightless by Raven Oak
  • The Definitions of Professional Attire by Evergreen Lee
  • Wardrobe of the Worlds by Jennifer Lee Rossman
  • A Peril of Being Human by Julie Reeser

I'd generally recommend this collection, but be prepared to enjoy some stories more than others!
