Dreamy collection of short stories from exciting voice in the genre

- Washington Post

OTIS, an exciting voice in contempora­ry science fiction, penned this short story collection about those typically left behind in sweeping adventures – the children, discarded robots, school drop-outs and blue-collar workers. These characters all have the misfortune of being something near-toxic.

A standout story is Moonkids, about young humans from the moon who find themselves living and working in a beach town on Earth after being expelled from lunar society.

Like many of Otis’s stories, it’s dreamy but with an intense physicalit­y. |
