Within each of us is a strange fire-a way we burn which is uniquely ours, a heat that defines us, forges us, drives us, liberates us. Strange Fires is a richly diverse collection of queer speculative short fiction, starring pagan gods, psychic violinists, telepathic pyromaniacs, rebellious priests, gender-bending time travelers and fairy-tale villains. Each of these characters is driven by their own fire. Some yearn to understand; some to transform; some to be bound; some to be free.
