Glitter + Ashes: Queer Tales of a World That Wouldn't Die by dave ring
First of all, excellent overall anthology in terms of variety of stories and none I had to skip.

Now, I am sure it will shock no one who knows me that my favorite story in this collection was "The Current Dumas" by L.D. Lewis. By a landslide. Post-apocalyptic community building! Magic! Sapphic flirting! Trains! Anthony Bourdain vibes!

Other favorites include:
"When the Last of the Birds and the Bees Have Gone On" by C.L. Clark, which is modeled on "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid, which is one of my show more favorite short stories of ALL TIME and also contains the immaculate line "this is how you choose a gender; this is how you cast one off;"

"The Descent of Their Last End" by Izzy Wasserstein, so short and bittersweet, about making art at the end of all things.

"Champions of Water War" by Elly Bangs, which is almost too wholesome (in the middle of a super brutal dystopia), but I loved it.

So many good ones! I couldn't possibly call them all out or I would be here all day. show less
