Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century Overview

In Kim Fu's speculative short story collection Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, characters contend with challenges wrought by climate change and dystopian technology. A man murders his wife and waits for her new body to print on a 3D printer; a woman's insomnia is cured by a mysterious cloaked figure who fills her with sand; and people all over the world lose their sense of taste. The stories address themes of longing, fantasy, and horror, among others.
