Synopsis
Too often, science fiction and fantasy stories erase - or cure - characters with disabilities. Soul Jar , edited by author and bookstore owner Annie Carl, features thirty-one stories by disabled authors, imagining such wonders as a shapeshifter on a first date, skin that sprouts orchid buds, and a cereal-box demon. An insulin pump diverts an undead mob. An autistic teen sets out to discover the local cranberry bog's sinister secret. A pizza delivery on Mars goes wrong.
This thrillingly peculiar collection sparkles with humor, heart, and insight, all within the context of disability representation.
