This is a collection of short stories and flash pieces written during my time at GSU called Abject Creatures. These stories explore strange worlds with exaggerated, genre-bending elements that pull from fabulism, surrealism, and horror. The worlds I have constructed on the page create states of abjection for the characters, who often already consider themselves societal outcasts. Many of the stories deal with violence against women and women seeking various forms of liberation in a patriarchal society, but I am also exploring the implications of late-stage capitalism and environmental destruction.
