Book List: Kameron Hurley

For our 2018 theme of reunion, we chose Guests of Honor with work exemplifying the themes of the past four years: hauntings, rebels and revolutionaries, lovers, and women who work magic. Today, Guest of Honor Kameron Hurley shares the “unapologetically revolutionary books” she recommends for the rebels and revolutionaries theme.
