XY-Girls and More Stories

By Derwin Mak
XY-Girls and More Stories by Derwin Mak digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The ladies of Southern Comfort are the most gorgeous and lively women on any mining colony in the galaxy. But when they start turning up dead and the local police do nothing to protect them, it's time for these girls to take the law, their safety, and their destiny into their own hands.

Why do people see the ghosts of their loved ones on the mysterious asteroids called the Siren Stones? And why is there a girl claiming to be Jesus reborn on one of these rocks?

Featuring the interconnected Siren Stone and XY-Girls stories, this second collection of fiction by award-winning author Derwin Mak brings readers tales of danger, cleverness, acceptance, and more. Jump in and enjoy the ride with a cast of gregarious women, a teenage vampire, ballet dancers, and the all-new story "The Room Where We Hid".

Includes the Aurora Award-winning story "Transubstantiation"

Foreword by Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association Hall of Fame author Tanya Huff
