Civilization Stained These Young Things and Other Works by Emily Flummox

By Merlin Monroe

Emily Flummox' unapologetically Queer debut collection includes eir previously published essays, short stories, and poetry as well as the previously unpublished "The Fog of Time Means We're Everywhere" and select unpublished poems. The title story, "Civilization Stained These Young Things," is a dark fantasy about faeries and a dangerous and magical dance as old as time that brings the colors to roses in bloom.

"Civilization Stained These Young Things" is as sensuous as it is sharp in its societal commentary and razor slicing prose. An unforgettable and unapologetic exploration of love, loneliness, and identity through fairies and fog water. A must read. -Frances Lu-Pai Ippolito, Qilin Press and Demagogue Press.

"If literature had a secret underground club... the kind with fairy wings, blood rites, and metaphorical glitter bombs... then Civilization Stained These Young Things would hold the secret password to get in." - Angela Yuriko Smith, Publisher of Space and Time
