Absolute Power: Tales of Queer Villainy!

Since Northwest Press published its first prose collection of gay super-villain stories, "The Lavender Menace", readers have been asking for a collection of stories about queer female villains, and now the book is finally here! "Absolute Power: Tales of Queer Villainy!" brings you thirteen short stories of power, destruction and chaos by woman who love other woman almost as much as they love taking over the world! So what is evil? What makes a person a “villain?” Is it intent to harm…or is it something deeper than that? Each one of the thirteen authors in this amazing collection has taken a completely different approach to answering this question. They have gone above and beyond expressing the idea of evil and supervillainy. They get to the bottom of why villains are the way they are, and what they hope to gain from it. These are dangerous women wielding Absolute Power… and they’ll be glad to let you know exactly why you should fear them. This prose collection — with an introduction by lesbian comics tastemaker Erica Friedman — includes stories by Friedman, Tristan J. Tarwater, Missouri Vaun, Barbara Ann Wright, Audrey Chase, JD Glass, Emily Kay Singer, A. Merc Rustad, Claire M. Jackson, Jude McLaughlin, Leia Weathington, Susan Smith, and Mari Kurisato.
