This is an interesting anthology with some great short stories talking about queer love, from the messed up to the tragic, all infused with magic.
Some personal faves:
Together Forever by Evelyn Freeling - creepy and atmospheric tale of toxic lesbian relationship, and haunting of guilt
Becoming by R. Wren - beautifully written tale of isolation and hunger
Resin by Amanda Blake - disturbing story about family abuse and homophobia, just amazing, hard and raw, doesn't pull punches
Sweet Water by Jess Koch - beautifully written, dark, melancholic and gothic tale of sacrifice
A Wound Full of Teeth by Sam Kyung Yoo - this was a very cool ghost hunting story exploring the queerplatonic relationship inspired with Japanese folklore, it was so tender I almost cried in the end
