THE BIG SALE IS ON! TELL ME MORE
Editor Annie Carl was born with a rare spinal birth-defect (lipomeningomyelocele) and is a Stage IV Non-Hodgkins survivor. She owns and runs The Neverending Bookshop in Edmonds, Wash. She is the author of My Tropey Life: How Pop Culture Stereotypes Make Disabled Lives Harder and the novella Nebula Vibrations. When not running an award-winning bookstore, Annie reads massive quantities of science fiction, fantasy, and romance; pole dances; knits; and hangs out with her goofy family and friends. Nicola Griffith is the author of the award-winning books Hild, Spear, and So Lucky, among others. Her essays, opinion pieces, reviews, and short fiction have appeared in an assortment of academic texts and a variety of journals and media outlets, including the New York Times, Nature, New Scientist, Los Angeles Review of Books, NPR, Electric Lit, Literary Hub, and Out.
The soul jar overfloweth in this radical anthology of mermaids, mechas, and rotten hyenas. Annie Carl's refined taste for the far out has unleashed a swath of writers who zone in on disabled joys and vexations. How refreshing it is to read from writers who get it. -Jonah Barnett, author of Moss-Covered Claws
