"Fueled by politics and history, conceived by experience and imagination ... prepare for an emotional roller-coaster of a read. These enchanting and eye-opening tales move us to think and feel beyond genre norms."
-Library Journal

"Instead of using SF/F to theorize new trans possibilities, they use trans realities to imagine new possibilities for SF/F. . There's much to love, and much to dwell upon. A dazzling showcase of speculative writing . huge, vibrant, and full of ideas."
-Strange Horizons

"Generous.important."
-Booklist

"Remarkable . fun and totally wild . Meanwhile, Elsewhere is good, weird, out of this world, and occasionally trashy. But more importantly, it defies the singular trans story of the mainstream media, and shows how visionary and interesting trans writers are when they have the chance to write stories they really want to tell."
-Truthout

"In a word, brilliant. You want other words? Okay, how about fantastic, original, engaging, wondrous, amusing, exciting, arousing, and intellectually stimulating ... Multi-author anthologies are always a hit-or-miss proposition, even when built around a theme, but Cat Fitzpatrick & Casey Plett have done an astounding job here."
