Hostile Environments
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.

This wouldn't normally be my 'go-to' type of reading (I'm not the biggest fan of ghost and/or horror stories) but I really enjoyed this collection. It's weird and fun, and with so many stories in here you will be bound to find much to like. A great book for the autumn season!
