Snowstorm & Overgrowth

A pair of singers redefine their queerplatonic partnership through a unique concert. Alexis Le Trotteur, local MagSkater star, must represent his backwater planet in the Great Intergalactic MagSkate Championship. A young mother visits her friend’s grave in a blooming cemetery for the first time in years. Resistance organizes against a food corporate giant in near-future Québec City.

Through eight solarpunk and fantasy short stories, Claudie Arseneault revisits local myths and invented legends, explores aromanticism and asexuality, and prods at the soft edges of grief.

---

Solarpunk & Overgrowth mainly includes aromantic and asexual representation. Several of its short stories also have non-binary characters, and one solarpunk short is a sapphic romance.
