| Summary |
Some people simply aren't part of the community's majority: different background, different sexual orientation or gender identity, different belief system, different skin color. Humans are almost instinctively inclined to fear what is different. And the thing about the outside-- it's much larger than your think. This anthology contains stories of everyday people, places and things where something shifts-- striking a much more primal chord of fear. Who among us is really the "other", after all? -- adapted from back cover |
