A really great, diverse selection of queer short stories. Absolutely loved all of the rep in here, from characters from all walks of life. Incorporating fantasy elements into these was really great to see, and I finished many of these short stories wishing I could read a full length novel about them!

Short stories are really not my thing, but I'm glad my Long Distance College Buddies Discuss Queer Books Club chose it. "Howl" and "Things We'll Never Know" were my favorites. "Howl" was lyrical and beautiful and "Things We'll Never Know" was a perfect science fiction commentary on reality without being obvious or boring about it. Some of the representation (especially of ace and ace spectrum characters) felt more like tokenization but all in all, solid.

Book Riot Read Harder 2017 Challenge: 21: Read a book published by a micropress.

(I'm having a hard time getting a concrete definition of "micropress" but per Ink and Locket Press's website they are "not-for-profit, and run mostly on volunteered hours, donations and caffeine" in addition to being small and independent, so I'm counting it.)
