This all-original anthology expands the focus of speculative fiction beyond protagonists who are white, straight, cisgender, and male. The 27 tales collected here focus on those who are marginalized in our history books, in stories that have been passed down through the generations, hidden between the lines of journal entries and love letters.

Speculative Fiction from the Margins of History
