Please join us as we welcome Margaret Killjoy for the New York stop on her tour to celebrate the release of her short story collection We Won’t Be Here Tomorrow and Other Stories.
“For this impressive collection, Killjoy brings together 21 speculative shorts tinged with just the right amount of horror to keep readers gloriously uncomfortable… Throughout, Killjoy showcases her gift for blending cerebral speculation with visceral thrills. There’s plenty to chew on here.”
—Publishers Weekly
"With indelible characters, unruly worlds, and lively wry prose, the stories in We Won't Be Here Tomorrow insist on motivations, desires, actions, and affinities unbound by conventional expectations."
—Madeline Ffitch, author of Stay and Fight: A Novel
Spaceships, man-eating mermaids, swords, spears, demons, ghouls. thieves, hitchhikers, and life in the margins. Ranging in theme and tone, these imaginative tales bring the reader on a wild and moving ride. In these pages you’ll encounter a hacker who programs drones to troll CEOs into quitting; a group of LARPers who decide to live as orcs in the burned forests of Oregon; queer, teen love in a death cult; the terraforming of climate-changed Earth; polyamorous love on an anarchist tea farm during the apocalypse; and more. Killjoy writes fearless, mind-expanding fiction.
