&quot;This collection of stories deftly captures the sometimes frightening, often beautiful, and frequently magical leap into the unknown that is transition. Angus’s writing asks you hold on, firm but gentle, and trust the journey.&quot;– jiaqing wilson-yang, author of Small BeautyA Natural History of Transition is a collection of short stories that disrupts the notion that trans people can only have one transformation. Like the landscape studied over eons, change does not have an expiration date for these trans characters, who grow as tall as buildings, turn into mountains, unravel hometown mysteries, and give birth to cocoons. Portland-based author Callum Angus infuses his work with a mix of alternative history, horror, and a reality heavily dosed with magic.CALLUM ANGUS is a trans writer and editor currently based in Portland, Oregon.
