A note for parents
This is an anthology of fifteen speculative fiction stories explicitly centered on LGBTQ+ characters and themes, drawn from a literary magazine. While most content appears age-appropriate for teens, the varied nature of an anthology means individual stories span different intensity levels—some include war/military scenarios, occasional mild language, and mature themes around identity and loss. Best suited for older teens comfortable with literary fiction and LGBTQ+ narratives; younger readers may find some stories emotionally complex.

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.
