The rupture files

£12.50

Across multiple worlds in upheaval, a curious cast of Black queer characters must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm. A shapeshifter learns to embrace their body as it changes through a lunar cycle. A stranger’s visit disturbs three sisters sheltering from monsters that stalk the land. An archivist hears an irresistible call to the rising ocean as she uncovers a surprising history. A mysterious fire sparks whispers of revolution in the mind of a vampire’s captive consort. Tender and audacious, these captivating stories portray extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions. Through apocalypses big and small, we find life in the fissures between loss and growth; self and community; precarity and possibility.
