A book cover: stylized bookshelves in garish colours retreat from the viewer into infinity.

“[A] core sense of unease and uncertainty. And it’s in that in-between place that this collection thrives.” Ancillary Review of Books

“The collection delivers wonderfully distinct narrative voices and a vast array of speculative ideas, which, even when wildly inventive and unfamiliar, all stem from grounded human struggles. Saxey is a writer to watch.” Publisher’s Weekly
