- LOVE AFTER THE END is a short collection of stories that really pack a punch into under 200 pages.
- Some stories are set in futures that are terrifyingly easy to envision from our current moment, and some feel beyond any possibility; it's a great mix of visions.
- A theme running through these stories is the fact that Indigenous people have survived the apocalypse before, so they can do so again, in whatever form that takes. This theme is present in many Indigenous-authored books, but the stories here center queer people in a way many other books don't, and how their specific histories and circumstances shape their reactions and actions in each of these futures.
