Why read it?
1 author picked Homesick as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book of speculative short fiction includes some of the best queer representation I've seen in ages.

Each story will leave you wondering what happens next, but the characters will also live on in your imagination long after you've turned the page.
From Charlie's list on short stories that could change your life.
