Roadkill

An effervescent speculative short story collection by South Korean author Amil for the next generation who crave a fresh perspective

With strong roots in feminist science fiction and fantasy, Roadkill transports readers to different worlds, featuring dystopian wastelands, shamans, self-driving cars, tusked water deer and a divine sea serpent.

These six stylistically distinct stories form a sweeping collection that explores contemporary subjects such as the climate crisis, Korean idol culture and techno capitalism through the lives of young women, their friendships and desire for self-expression.
