Publisher's Synopsis
Cosmobiological is a dreamy and feminist collection of science fiction short stories by Jilly Dreadful. Hopeful and spellbound, this book is full of mermaids, cyborgs, ghosts, goddesses, frog maidens, occult texts, and Venusians. These stories adhere to dream logic, and like dreams, they are wonderfully strange and fabulously queer. Throughout the deepest reaches of the galaxy and our imaginations, Cosmobiological charts new mythologies, ones in which kindness and softness are sources of power. Here, female characters embrace their insatiable hunger and cosmic desires, devouring the universe and undergoing glorious transformations. By weaving together science and magic, Dreadful spins fairy tales teeming with charming pop culture references and intergalactic creatures. With luminosity and abundance, Cosmobiological flirts with our deepest curiosities and delves into the celestial glimmer of our ephemeral, human lives.
