An Unexpected Party

A thrilling collection of queer speculative fiction for young adults.
From fantastical realms to real-world struggles, this young adult anthology champions queer identity by challenging stereotypes and exploring the many facets of identity. Written with wit, heart and honesty, these stories take queer protagonists outside the box of YA romance and centre them at the heart of stories that involve magic, paranormal beings and adventure.

Featuring trans and gender-diverse voices – asexual, aromantic, bisexual and more – the stories in An Unexpected Party are as diverse as their writers. If you are looking for stories of friendship, family, and finding yourself (but with magic and ghosts and stuff), this is for you. Get ready for a wild ride!
