FEMINIST FICTION TO FRIGHTEN THE PATRIARCHY! Behind every successful man is a strong woman... but in these stories, she might be about to plant a knife in his spine. The characters in this anthology are fed up - tired of being held back, held down, held accountable - by the misogyny of the system. They're ready to resist by biting back in their own individual ways, be it through magic, murder, technology, teeth, pitfalls and even... potlucks. Join sixteen writers as they explore feminism in fantasy, science-fiction, fractured fairy-tales, historical settings, and the all-too-familiar chauvinist contemporary world.Introduction by the Editors:The news in the past few years has been full of women - nasty women, angry women, persistent women, women in pink knitted hats. There's been pushback, but there's also been overwhelming support. With this anthology we wanted to add our own encouragement. This collection of sixteen tales comes from writers who picked up their pens to add their words to the resistance. You're helping, too. By buying this book - and reading it - you're allowing our words to find a space inside your head, to plant a seed, and to offer a different perspective. We hope you enjoy these tales, but more importantly, we hope they make you think about the position of women in the world, how our everyday lives are different from a man's - and in many ways, even different from each other's experiences.We all have our own tale. A cat-call. An unwanted touch. A joke at the water cooler... and those are just the micro-aggressions. Other stories make the news. But we're making our own headlines now, with marches, demonstrations and - in our own small way - this book.Thank you for joining us as we bite back. -Mindy McGinnis, Demitria Lunetta, and Kate Karyus Quinn

Killer Among

Even though her husband was a TV evangelist, Nora never prayed unless she knew the cameras were focused on her. But she prayed tonight that they'd make this stupid baby he wanted. Meet Nora: Flawless. Enigmatic. Conniving. Ruthless. At seventeen, she escaped the grip of her cold and abusive mama after catching the eye of charismatic Merrell Hodges. His riches and fame became hers. In exchange, she could play the role of doting wife. But she alone was not enough; he wanted a family. With the birth of their perfect daughter, Elizabeth, something foreign and unnerving touches Nora: love. She wants to protect and lavish her child. She would show her mama how a real mother should be. But the sins of nature and nurture run deep. There's a defiance and manipulation in young Elizabeth that's all-too-familiar and triggering. Nora can't shake her mama's prophetic words: You're going to hate that kid. Just wait. When Nora's fortune goes sideways after a tragedy with shocking repercussions, she's determined to reclaim her relevance. With a cunning plan-and surprising ally-Nora reinvents herself as a benevolent icon, good mother, and the powerful, authentic woman she deserves to be. But seeds of the past still fester, haunting Nora's victory and explosive, contradictory behavior. Caught in a cycle of fate, she's both the heroine and villain of her own story. And as Elizabeth grows into an equally stubborn and strong-minded young woman, Nora may have finally met her match. But if there's one thing never to do, it's to underestimate Nora.
