Glitter + Ashes: Queer Tales of a World That Wouldn’t Die is an anthology of post-apocalyptic fiction centering queer joy and community in the face of disaster. What does hope look like when everything is lost? Now, more than ever, we need to revel in the bright spots amidst the darkness.

The twenty-three stories (and two poems) contained here, as well as the roleplaying game Dream Askew by Avery Alder, imagine queer community in myriad futures interrupted by collapse. Post-apocalyptic futures glittering and bleak, challenging and eerie.  Glitter + Ashes is here to hold up a torch. Come gather round the fire.

“A stunning set of short fiction and some poems that truly envision a world where queer people not only survive but thrive. Every story gives you something to think about or people to root for or joy in darkness. Amazing collection!”  — Eboni Dunbar, author of Stone and Steel
