Welcome to The Best of Abyss & Apex, Volume 4, featuring works of speculative fiction first published in Abyss & Apex that center LGBTQ+ characters and themes. Curated by Abyss & Apex editor Wendy S. Delmater, the fifteen stories and poems collected in this anthology cover a broad range of genres, voices, and moods. There are poignant slipstream tales, heroic revolutions in secondary worlds, heists and adventure stories, futuristic sci-fi featuring alien civilizations, military and war stories alongside quieter narratives of longing... Although the pieces in this volume were published over a broad range of time and are otherwise unconnected, one theme that emerges through them is how much being LGBTQ+ is tied to kin and community.
