Heya! My short story collection, Speculative Shorts: Stories that fell out of my brain, is eligible to be nominated for Best Related Work! Check out what folks are saying about it! Go to csffa.ca before April 4 at 11:59 pm EDT to nominate it and all your spec fic faves who are eligible! #SFF

"The stories in Speculative Shorts display
Gordon's knack for making the reader privy to the protagonists' thoughts and reactions in an empathetic and often amusing way as the action progresses.”

Lisa Timpf for The Seaboard Review of Books

"Cait Gordon writes with infectious joy and energy, and with a sense of humour that is never far from the surface-even in the darkest moments. This collection has it all, from mermaids that seem very real to bus stops that seem uncanny. It's a delight from start to finish.”

Kate Heartfield, Prix Aurora Award-winning author of The Embroidered Book

"This is a universe where mobility aids are just cool, where being yourself is the ultimate reward, where chosen family, joy, and accessibility aren't just possible, but mandatory and well-deserved."

Dr. Finnian Burnett, educator, and author of The Price of Cookies

"Speculative Shorts is a fun, delicious taste of the range of Cait's spice-rack of writing skills, and she blends together those elements incredibly”

Dr. Derek Newman-Stille, Prix Aurora Award winner of Speculating Canada and Prix Aurora Award finalist for We Shall Be Monsters
