I Read Beyond II: The Queer Post-Apocalyptic & Urban Fantasy Comic Anthology
After reading Parable of the Sower (probably my favorite novel of all time), I more or less gave up on post-apocalyptic fiction because none of it could possibly be as nuanced or as heartfelt as Butler’s vision of near-future America. But the second volume of Beyond may be an exception. Like the Parable novels, its stories use post-apocalyptic worlds as fertile ground in which to grow new communities and relationships between humans. It focuses even more on the process of coming together and creating something beautiful, which is exactly the kind of story we need in these times of oppression and division.
