QueerSpec: A Queer Speculative Fiction Anthology in Support of Trans Rights

By Emily Devereux, K Petry, Harper Hugo Darling

Queer joy. Queer rage. Queer resilience.

Eight speculative fiction stories by queer Albertan writers explore these themes and so much more. Dive into fantasy, science fiction, alternative history, and paranormal tales starring characters such as knights, mages, a bisexual cowboy, a necrobotanist, a grumpy (and heroic) Scottish lesbian, and Edmontonian high schoolers fighting the arachnid threat.

In tumultuous times, queer people come together and persevere-whether in fiction or real life.

This is a charity anthology with 100% of the royalties being donated to a trans affirming legal fund to defend queer rights in Alberta.
