Beneath Ceaseless Skies

A black cover with a green mushroom cloud in the center of it surrounded by purple-black skies and a few buildings. In front, you can just make out some dark figures, some with canes or crutches. The image is framed by a matching green postal stamp frame. Inside the frame, at the top, is the text "An anthology of disability in dystopia" in small orange font. Center lower left in large white font is the title "Why Aren't You Dead Yet?" and the text in olive green "no offense, but the end of the world isn't exactly a "disability-friendly" event" followed by a doubtful emoji face.

Review quotes for “Somebody’s Gotta Shovel It”:

“I didn’t expect a story about shit (yes, literal shit) to be so touching and hopeful?? wtf Sally Sultzman, how did you do that?”–The Reading Frog

Sally Sultzman’s “Someone’s Gotta Shovel It” would be an amazing story in any anthology, but it was particularly great here on account of the protagonist’s choice to turn away from the shiny city and all its opportunities so they could instead carry on their father’s legacy. Yes, shovelling “it” isn’t glamorous but, as this anthology shows again and again, glamour isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.–Nicole Field

A yellow background with a dusty rose square in the middle that has a lighter yellow circle in it. The image in the circle is of three matches--the first unlit, the second on fire, and the third burned out. The text reads Flare Magazine in red and underneath in black featuring "Brain Fog" by Sally Sultzman Free to read now!
