Intergalactic Mischief: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Stories From A Transgender Imagination
Transfeminine sorceresses, cosmic explorers, and androids across time and space...
Intergalactic Mischief tells stories where trauma becomes the source of reconciliation rather than conflict. Here we read narratives about people forming new bonds with themselves and others after the tragedy has already taken place.
A space explorer loses herself in time and starts experiencing multiple realities. A sorceress grapples with the meaning of power after winning a duel to the death. An android wakes after a century of dormancy into a post-collapse society in recovery.
These stories speak to our compulsion to reinvent, rebuild, and heal. They reveal that endings are anything but.

A really enjoyable short story collection. The world-building setups are intoxicating - I found myself getting more interested in all of them as they went on. There's not a bad story in the bunch either (I particularly liked 'Echoes', 'Avalon' and 'Lastlight').
The queer ideas are well-handled, and I think the stories themselves are solid enough to charm even the most staunchly cishet person. Koehler often focuses on community, kindness and a sort of rebellious context-free optimism. There's also a cool that I won't spoil, because it took me by surprise.
Highly recommended, and I hope the author does more in future.
