Roadkill wer. angielska

We had always been rare and mysterious creatures. We'd been taught this ever since we were children.

With strong roots in feminist science fiction and fantasy, Roadkill's exhilarating stories transport us to strange new worlds.

In a near future where women are an endangered minority, two young friends try to break free from a facility designed for those few who can still give birth. Every year in a secluded seaside village, a maiden is sacrificed to a divine sea serpent. Elsewhere, the last female shaman of an indigenous tribe tells her stories to a visiting research team. And in South Korea's Alps Grand Park, the residents exist in an exclusive world dominated by giant air purifier towers as others are left to live in the shade.

The women in these stories find themselves trapped - by circumstance, society or tradition - as they fight for a means of escape. This sweeping and subversive collection celebrates their strength and their courage, their desire for independence and self-expression.
