From Annie Mok's moody ruminations on Casper to Paulina Ganucheau's tribute to the power of ruffles, this anthology is a thoughtful, tenderhearted look at the inner lives of odd ducks, and a paean to the power of love. This is chronicle of outsider adolescence, middle-aged splendor, and childhood melancholy this is a book that is as chuckle-worthy as it is introspective. These are the stories we bond over when we get together at a comic con, play video games, and marathon Star Trek, said Hope Nicholson.
Though, as with any anthology, quality varies between its many submissions, each one is fervently heartfelt and it is this honesty that transports the volume's narrow focus from merely niche to truly moving. Originally funded via a high-profile Kickstarter campaign, The Secret Loves of Geek Girls will be available from Dark Horse Comics in both comic book stores and bookstores in October 2016. Here, Margaret Atwood (The Heart Goes Last) recalls her early days as a bespectacled comic fan, Marjorie Liu (Monstress) ruminates upon a life spent in others' worlds, and Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer) explores first love within The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Love, loss, longing, and The Lord of the Rings what do they all have in common? Quite a bit, argues this anthology of gloriously geeky women.
