Description
Thirty macabre, funny, and twisted short stories exploring the shifting sands of what makes somewhere a safe or dangerous place to inhabit.
Addressing contemporary anxieties of the climate crisis, gender identification, the need for the me-too movement, BLM, the growth of populism, fake truth, the impact of the pandemic, the perils of navigating cyberspace and social media
These stories explore how a person's sanctuary can be another's hellscape. Being as much dependent on gender, age, race, disability, sexuality, personal belief systems, and how we self-identify, as on actual physical place. Hostile Environments cast readers into immersive narrative worlds that teeter on the brink of horror, the edge of science fiction, the margins of dirty realism, and the fringes of fairytale.
