Big Girl

Elison offers a troubling yet hopeful vision of the future.-Los Angeles Review of BooksA strikingly powerful story of one woman's physical and emotional resourcefulness under the most dire of circumstances. An apocalyptic page-turner that picks up where Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale left off.-Jackie Hatton, Tor.comI could talk about female empowerment, body positivity, and gender flexibility. But those terms are wholly inadequate for Meg Elison's clear-eyed satire in the guise of fantasy and science fiction. Powered by rage, incandescent with a deep understanding of injustice, angry for all the right reasons, yet still essentially optimistic, these are the stories I need to keep me warm through the long dark night. Compelling and fierce and unstoppable.-Pat Murphy, World Fantasy Award winnerMeg Elison's stories will raise blisters on your conscience. Her politics are smart, her prose is like a razor, and her characters will break your heart. Read at your own risk.-Annalee Newitz, author of AutonomousMeg Elison's work is visceral and compelling. A voice that doesn't so much demand attention as it 100 percent deserves every ounce of it.-Elsa Sjunneson-Henry, Hugo-winning writer and editor
