I haven't read nearly enough anthologies... I gotta get on that
I haven’t heard of any of these, I’ll have to look into them! Thank you!
Trans and disabled edited by Alex Iantaffi is a good anthology 🏳️⚧️💕
Adding now!
If you're into weird west vibes, Dead Cowpokes Don't Wrangle is lots of fun!
No promises that I'll read it, but I'll add it to the list! (I'm using this more as a community collection than a list of books for me to read)
May I also suggest “Sweet Tea” by E. Patrick Johnson. It’s an oral history of Gay Black men in the south ☺️
Ooooh that sounds so interesting! Adding now!
Yes!! It’s really eye opening on certain topics about identity and location! It’s not really an anthology but more so an introspective collection of short stories but “Black Folk Could Fly” by Randall Kenan is also good! I try to recommend it whenever I can
There's the Transcendent series of trans-centric anthologies! Also Common Bonds is ace/arospec stories
Added Common Bonds! Who's the author/editor for Transcendent? There are a lot of books with that title. Or is that just the series title and the books have different ones?
the books have different authors, but I believe there's 4-5 of them and if you add Anthology at the end, they should come up! The subtitle is usually "the years best transgender speculative fiction"
Ok, thanks! I'll add them now then :)
Eyes guts throats bones -is a horror anthology of short stories by the same author
Adding now!
