Description
Kate Folk’s debut short story collection Out There is a genre-bending look at the human response to the voids in life; internal and external, literal and metaphorical.
Out There deftly combines elements of science fiction, horror, and psychological realism to create implicitly political and feminist stories. A darkly comic exploration of our lives in the digital age, the collection depicts a landscape that is eminently of-the-moment, and Folk magnifies the ephemera of living with a healthy slice of absurdity.

Kate Folk, you are exactly my kind of weird. What a collection. Particular shoutouts to Out There, The Last Woman On Earth, Heart Seeks Brain, Shelter, The Bone Ward, A Scale Model of Gull Point, Moist House, and Big Sur. But honestly, there wasn't a single weak link here. Even the really short stories packed massive punch. Love, love, love.
