| Summary |
"In this debut collection of body-horror fairy tales and mid-apocalyptic Catholic cyberpunk, memory and myth, loss and age ... are the tools of storyteller Jarboe, a talent in the field of queer fabulism. Bodily autonomy and transformation, the importance of negative emotions, unhealthy relationships, and bad situations [inform the] staggering and urgent question of how [to] build and nurture meaning, love, and safety in a larger world/society that might not be 'fixable'"--Publisher marketing |
