The mark of aegis -- Here you are, near me -- Self care -- The nothing spots where nobody wants to stay -- The heavy things -- The seed and the stone -- We did not know we were giants -- The android that designed itself -- As tender feet of Cretan girls danced once around an altar of love -- Estranged children of storybook houses -- My noise will keep the record -- Wake word -- Everyone on the moon is essential personnel -- First contact, communion -- I am a beautiful bug! -- The thing in us we fear just wants our love.

"In this debut collection of body-horror fairy tales and mid-apocalyptic Catholic cyberpunk, memory and myth, loss and age, these are the tools of storyteller Jarboe, a talent in the field of queer fabulism. Bodily autonomy and transformation, the importance of negative emotions, unhealthy relationships, and bad situations amidst the staggering and urgent question of how build and nurture meaning, love, and safety in a larger world/society that might not be "fixable.""--
