This book is an anthology of queer stories by queer authors with artwork by queer illustrators. This book contains representation of a variety of identities. I really enjoyed the format of the book, with a collection of stories of a variety of genres and writing styles, poetry and artwork. I really enjoy short stories and this book contained lots of lovely ones.

This book was an enjoyable read and I would recommend :)

My favourite stories


  • Penguins 
  • The pheonixs fault
  • On the run
  • The instructor
