From the Metaphorosis Library Collection, an anthology of science fiction and fantasy stories by LGBTQIA+ authors. These are not necessarily stories about being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but stories by authors whose lives and experiences inform their writing.

These 26 stories range from stories about fantastic guardians of nature to androids who just want to be left alone to snowmen on public transport. Drawn from the first nine years of Metaphorosis magazine's publication, these are stories that warm your heart, make you think, and take you away from your world - or all three at once.
