Across multiple worlds in upheaval, a curious cast of Black queer characters must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm. A shapeshifter learns to embrace their body as it changes through a lunar cycle. A stranger’s visit disturbs three sisters sheltering from monsters that stalk the land. An archivist hears an irresistible call to the rising ocean as she uncovers a surprising history. A mysterious fire sparks whispers of revolution in the mind of a vampire’s captive consort.At once tender and audacious, Nathan Alexander Moore’s debut collection tells the stories of extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions. Traversing apocalypses both big and small, these captivating tales vibrate with the tensions between loss and growth; self and community; precarity and possibility.

A radiant and unforgettable read.’ — Akil Kumarasamy, author of Meet Us by the Roaring Sea‘Anybody who reads The Rupture Files will no longer fear the end of the world … you’ll want to hurry through these lively pages, but this is one to savour slowly, allowing each word to sink in and change you.’ — Pear Nuallak, author of Pearls from Their Mouth‘Moore has created the dystopian masterpiece! … a must-read collection that gives us greater insight into the personal costs of living, loving, and collecting family.’ — DaMaris B. Hill, author of A Bound Woman Is a Dangerous Thing‘These characters ... claim dangerous bodies with unfettered joy.
