A first look at our new series design for Fictional Objects!

"By the 19th century, whites used dogs to track runaway slaves because they could supposedly detect 'racial odor,' foreseeing the use of dogs by the Nazis to detect the 'odor of dissent.'"

Scent has long been used to mark otherness and justify exclusion, writes Françoise Vergès:

“The Mune” is our newest Gold SF title.
30 Victorian women - “surplus” mothers - are shipwrecked on an island in a parallel universe. To survive, they must create a new society. How will they shake off the patriarchal chains that bound them & raise their children to be free?
