OUT THERE:
INTO THE QUEER NEW YONDER

To conclude the trio of anthologies that started with the critically acclaimed All Out and Out Now, Out There features seventeen original short stories set in the future from fantastic queer YA authors.

Explore new and familiar worlds where the human consciousness can be uploaded into a body on Mars… an alien helps a girl decide if she should tell her best friends how she feels… two teens get stuck in a time loop at a space station… people are forced to travel to the past or the future to escape the dying planet… only a nonbinary person can translate the binary code of a machine that predicts the future… everyone in the world vanishes except for two teen girls who are in love.

This essential and beautifully written collection immerses and surprises with each turn of the page.

PRAISE FOR OUT THERE: INTO THE QUEER NEW YONDER

★ ”In this third and final anthology in a planned trio, seventeen short stories explore LGBTQIA+ identity through the lens of futuristic love, most of it set in a dying version of Earth. The stories are diverse and feature representation of an impressive range of identities in ways that are fully integrated into the narration and thoughtfully presented. Short story collections, especially a science fiction outing as well-curated and wide-ranging as this one, are a rare treat in teen literature, and Mitchell has ended this series with a bang.”
