ALL THE YOUNG QUEERS: 16-24 YEARS

short fiction collection

Nine stories, nine characters - one for each youthful year.

One young queer goes on their first protest. Another goes up to Oxford and finds first love. One seeks connection in submission. Another young queer discovers their superpower.

Spanning metrosexual metropolises and unknown universes, from the end-of-the-twentieth-century to the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it, these tender tales explore issues are told with wit and inventiveness.

'original, compelling and cleverly crafted'
JON RANSOM

'An astonishingly accomplished range of stories, beautifully written, taking in everything from first love to chemsex, set in the recent past, among the hallowed halls of academia and even in other worlds. Tales steeped in nostalgia, politics and a groundswell of change. A masterful blending of periods, politics and formats, including stories written in text messages and court documents. I laughed, I cried, I nodded my head in recognition. I felt seen.'
IQBAL HUSSAIN

'A smart, insightful collection, where every story sparkles with rich, engaging prose and the perfect balance of humour and poignancy - an absolute joy to read.'
KATHY HOYLE
