Into the queer new yonder!
To conclude the trio of anthologies that started with critically acclaimed All Out and Out Now, Out There features seventeen original short stories set in the future from fantastic queer YA authors.
Explore new and familiar worlds where the human consciousness can be uploaded into a body on Mars…an alien helps a girl decide if she should tell her best friend how she feels…two teens get stuck in a time loop at a space station…people are forced to travel to the past or the future to escape the dying planet…only a nonbinary person can translate the binary code of a machine that predicts the future…everyone in the world vanishes except for two teen girls who are in love.
This essential and beautifully written collection immerses and surprises with each turn of the page.
In “H O M E” by K. Ancrum (The Wicker King) two teens — a human girl and an intersex alien (he/him) — are trapped in a time loop on what is essentially an interplanetary airport, but with relativistic “time crunches” rather than planes.
As Mira and Tovah grow old together — while remaining physically identical to the day the loop started and surrounded by frozen passengers, including their parents — the story examines questions of connection, perception, humanity, and existence itself. Ancrum deftly uses sci-fi concepts to reveal very human truths, and her wistful prose and the captivating romance will leave readers’ hearts aching.” – Cas Green FANGIRLISH
An anthology packed with tales of queer love that will launch readers into alternate realities and distant futures. An enchanting collection.
LGBTQIA story collections are scarce, but even if they weren’t, this one would be essential.
Fully integrates a spectrum of representation with thoughtful narration, appealing accessibility, and clever, sometimes unpredictable plot points.
The diversity is refreshing… well written…Give to those teens who don’t read full novels but still long for LGBTQ representation.
