Description:

There's a delicate balance between mental health and mental illness...

Who are STRANGERS AMONG US?
We are your fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, friends and lovers. We staff your stores, cross your streets, and study in your schools, invisible among you. We are your outcasts and underdogs, and often, your unsung heroes.
Nineteen science fiction and fantasy authors tackle the division between mental health and mental illness. We find troubles with Irish fay, a North Korean cosmonaut's fear of flying, an aging maid dealing with politics of revenge, a mute boy and an army of darkness, a sister reaching out at the edge of a black hole, the dog and the sleepwalker, and many more.

Praise for Strangers Among Us
"Strangers Among Us . . . is important, shining a much-needed spotlight on issues that get far too little attention. A wonderful anthology, one of the major SF&F books of the year. Bravo!" -Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Quantum Night
"The stories in Strangers Among Us are as varied in tone and approach as their authors. The power of the collection derives from this variety; while each story can be read in isolation, the assemblage of outsiders feels, on a whole, exultant. There is, indeed, strength in numbers, when each individual is accorded space and respect." -Quill & Quire
"Mental illness is an exciting theme for an anthology, leaving plenty of room for variety." -Library Journal
"Stories do a masterful job of knitting legitimate and painful mental illnesses to characters who still retain agency and power." -Kirkus Reviews
"A number of entertaining stories to be found within its pages." -Locus (Gardner Dozois)
"The writers of these stories address such varied subjects as agoraphobia, depression, schizophrenia, autism, anxiety, and addiction . . . readers who have mental illnesses may find themselves somewhere in these pages and as a result may no longer feel so alone or isolated." -Library School Journal
"This is a unique collection that should attract readers of all genres." -Foreword Reviews
