Mer
by Samantha Amy Mansell
An innovative collection of short stories by Samantha Amy Mansell that unsettles traditional mermaid mythology – beyond gender, beyond beauty, beyond romance.
Mer is set in an ominous underwater world marred by environmental destruction. The merfolk have ruled their watery domain for untold years, but humans threaten it with deadly danger. Stranded and alone, Odel haunts an abandoned lake. Ondine drags her prey to a graveyard of their own making. Unzel pursues a threatening boat. Nothing left to lose, the merfolk will do whatever it takes to defend their home – no matter who gets in their way.
“An intriguing collection of short stories about Merfolk by an author interested in intersectional feminism, bisexual representation in literature and creating fantastical worlds.”
