Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.
Situationally Quirky and Questioning
Short-ish Novels inviting consideration of novel characters in novel situations. Are we on a war ship? An airplane? Dedicated to a niche passion? Practicing a little known, long-ago tradition?

Weird and Unhinged Women
All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.
Weird and Unhinged Women 2.0

Wide open for recommendations!
