Description

The Fisherman can't fathom why anyone would want to be human. Small wonder. They've been ripped from their underwater home under Europa's ice, and stripped of their skin--the nebulous outer layer that enables them to shapeshift for survival. Imprisoned on a ship that's hunting for a mad undersea god, they must help the crew find it if they want to retrieve their skin and return home. Dame Isobel, an insane young heiress, owns the ship, desperate to find the god in the hopes that it will heal her mortally-injured girlfriend. The Fisherman is stuck in a female human form. They're pulled into a toxic, codependent romantic relationship with Dame Isobel-- in a world where being LGBT is punishable by death.

In the midst of this insanity, it's quite clear to the Fisherman: Humanity is confusing, inefficient, and messy.

When Isobel reveals that she will never let the Fisherman go, even if they find the mad god, the Fisherman knows:

It's time to get violent.

Critic Reviews

"LANDLOCKEDD IN FOREIGN SKIN is a blend of far future science and ancient folkloric religion told through a sapphic unravelling identity mystery filled with manipulation and adaptation--sharp and quirky."

--Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker and Nebula award-winning author of LINGHUN and I AM AI

"Landlocked In Foreign Skin is a surprising blend of myth, sci-fi, and horror that will keep you up all night. Drew Huff is a fearless storyteller, and The Fisherman is the kind of character who you'll never forget."

--Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, author of GRIM ROOT
