This collection brings together thirteen stories that explore queer futures, alternate realities, and fantastical worlds. Editor Darcie Little Badger selected these pieces from speculative fiction markets throughout 2023, seeking work that represents the full spectrum of queer experience within science fiction, fantasy, and horror. The authors span diverse backgrounds and perspectives, from established voices to emerging talent. Each story offers a different lens on identity, belonging, and transformation through speculative elements. Whether set in distant galaxies, magical realms, or near-future Earth, these narratives center queer characters navigating extraordinary circumstances. The collection continues the We're Here series tradition of showcasing how queer voices expand the boundaries of speculative storytelling, offering readers windows into worlds where difference becomes strength.
