About the book
In these previously uncollected stories, Shawl explores the unexpected possibilities and perils opened up by SF&F's new intersectionality. In Shawl's side-slippery world, sex can be both commerce and worship, complete with ancient rites, altars, and ointments ('Women of the Doll'); a virtual reality high school is a proving ground for girlpacks and their unfortunate adversaries ('Walk like a Man'); and a British rock singer finds an image in a mirror that reflects both future hits and ancient horrors ('Something More'). Also included is a presentation at a southern university, in which they patiently (and gleefully) deconstructs the academic and arcane intersections between ancient rites and modern tech. Ifa, anyone? Plus: Our Outspoken Interview with Shawl, in which unapologetics are proffered, riddles are unraveled, and icons are, as always, clasted.
