"The soul jar overfloweth in this radical anthology of mermaids, mechas, and rotten hyenas. Annie Carls refined taste for the far out has unleashed a swath of writers who zone in on disabled joys and vexations. How refreshing it is to read from writers who get it."
Jonah Barnett, author of Moss-Covered Claws
