"Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s story is super creepy, and alludes to “The Yellow Wallpaper” briefly. I’m not surprised at all that it’s based on a historical woman from the Victorian period and her own experience with postpartum psychosis based on my previous experience reading her adult novels. I hope I can read the other books in this series of short story collections because of Hargrave’s inclusion." — Mar 11, 2025 08:12AM

“you asked me if I believed in eternal love. Love is something way too abstract and indefinable. It depends on what we perceive and what we experience. If we don't exist, it doesn't exist. And we change so much; love must change as well.

“Were we all like that? Were we all trying to change how we looked on the outside to match how we felt on the inside? Were we all trying to change how people saw us?”

“I can't believe that we have reached the end of everything. The red dust is frightening. The carbon dioxide is real. Water is expensive. Bio-tech has created as many problems as it has fixed, but we're here, we're alive, we're the human race, we have survived wars and terrorism and scarcity and global famine, and we have made it back from the brink, not once but many times. History is not a suicide note - it's a record of our survival.”
