Age of Blight

"Kristine Ong Muslim's collection of speculative short stories is haunting, fearless, and wildly imaginative. In spare, deceptively simple prose, Muslim writes the kind of unpredictable stories you want to re-read the instant you finish." - Adam Morgan, Electric Literature "As the glaciers melt, the sea levels rise and the human project accelerates toward its inevitable decline, Kristine Ong Muslim is building a world of her own, one story at a time. It's hard to say with any kind of authority what this world is like or how it came to be, as we only catch glimpses of it in her fascinating new short story collection." -Jim Ruland, San Diego City Beat "As suppositional literature does, Age of Blight offers a message to the current world -- a warning, a prophecy, a lamentation; call it what you will. It's an important message; it's also bleak and deeply troubling." --Necessary Fiction "Age Of Blight is unendingly fascinating." --Neon Magazine "The stories are masterfully written, evocative and memorable... Age of Blight deserves praise for its willingness to confront complex questions. If you revel in the uncanny, this is a collection you will not want to miss." --The Missing Slate
