Stranger than Fiction, by Rachel Hartman

Stranger than Fiction: By Popular Demand: Lindi vs. the Big Rusty Gate!, by Rachel Hartman

Rachel Hartman gave up a million-dollar career in Comparative Literature to make comic books. Her work has appeared in the anthologies Rampage, Brainbomb, and SPX99, and her regular series, Amy Unbounded, has won two awards. When not obsessing over her storylines, she's reading about medieval economics or imagining she can dance. Rachel's previous appearances in Strange Horizons can be found in our archives.

When Le Guin talks about genre writers as “the realists of a larger reality” we surrender the power of that when we narrow our work to only depict one type of future. We have great power to restore alternate narratives, to re-broaden the range of imaginable futures.
