Welcome to Litsy!

First time to library since March! Library social distancing corrals, must wear masks, hand sanitizers. And my little haul today: see photo! (Cut off title is Paw and Order)

This was a page-turner anthology. The stories were very original and I couldn't put it down.
I would like to thank #NetGalley and Tachyon Publications for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Kameron Hurley has this incredible ability to occupy the spaces known to the science fiction canon but somehow occupy them subversively.

*Elephants and Corpses* could live in the universe of Altered Carbon but with a twist.
.
*The Plague Givers* deals with a fallout of a relationship that might have the power to destroy the world.

*Tumbledown* features a paraplegic warrior on a frozen planet.

The first two stories in this collection caught me up immediately. Elephants and Corpses leads you into a piece about body-jumping mercenaries – definitely the way to get me reading. It also offered a unique way to view gender dysphoria. There‘s a lot of non-normative families, which admittedly don‘t always work out for the characters, but I love how they exist in the tales.
