A gorgeous and grotesque collection of Sapphic horror which I adored.  This may be one of the best short story anthologies I've come across.  It was impactful horror after impactful horror, and even if I didn't quite GET the story - it still left me thinking.  That said, I of course have some favorites:

Dex by Ali Seay
A Change in Universal Flavor
The Blessing by Alex Luceli Jimenez
Fathomless Things by Avra Margariti
