Megan Milks Slug and Other Stories

Annotation

Carefully considered, successful instances of experimental fictiondisrupt gender, genre, and identity in this deranged, otherworldly collection (Literary Hub).A woman metamorphoses into a giant slug; another quite literally eats her heart out; a wasp falls in love with an orchid; and hair starts sprouting from the walls. These stories slip and slide between genresfrom video games to fan fiction, body horror to choose-your-own-adventureas characters cycle through giddying changes in gender, physiology, species, and identity. Collapsing boundaries between bodies and forms, these fictions interrogate the visceral, gross, and absurd.This book is fucking weird, wrote Brit Mandelo in 2015. Its only gotten weirder since.Slug and Other Storiesis a revised and expanded edition of a contemporary cult classic. Finally back in print, this collection is a testament to the messy anti-logic of queer feelings by a revelatory new voice.
