The Outcast Hours
The Outcast Hours | Mahvesh Murad, Jared Shurin
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Diverse new anthology from the acclaimed editors of The Djinn Falls in Love and Other Stories We live our lives in the daylight. Our stories take place under the sun: bright, clear, unafraid. This is not a book of those stories. These are the stories of people who live at night; under neon and starlight, and never the light of day. These are the stories of poets and police; writers and waiters; gamers and goddesses; tourists and traders; the hidden and the forbidden; the lonely and the lovers. These are their lives. These are their stories. And this is their time: The Outcast Hours. Including stories by Amira Salah-Ahmed, Cecilia Ekbäck, Celeste Baker, China Miéville, Daniel Polansky, Frances Hardinge, Indrapramit Das, Jeffrey Alan Love, Jesse Bullington, Karen Onojaife, Kuzhali Manickavel, Sam Beckbessinger, Lauren Beukes, Dale Halvorsen, Lavie Tidhar, Leah Moore, Maha Khan Phillips, Marina Warner, M. Suddain and Omar Robert Hamilton.

Anthologies are always hit or miss, as I think I have said recently already, but this one definitely leaned more toward hit. The stories I expected to be good were good, I didn't absolutely hate anything in it, and I found some new authors to read more of. Success!

I was very excited to see Genevieve Valentine had a story in here, and it did not disappoint me.
