Death cults, queer love, and the end of everything.
Spaceships, man-eating lesbian mermaids, swords, spears, demons, ghouls, thieves, hitchhikers, and life in the margins. Margaret Killjoy’s stories have appeared for years in the science fiction and fantasy magazines both major and indie. Here, we have collected the best previously published work along with brand new material. Ranging in theme and tone, these imaginative tales bring the reader on a wild and moving ride. They’ll encounter a hacker who programs drones to troll CEOs into quitting; a group of LARPers who decide to live as orcs in the burned forests of Oregon; queer, teen love in a death cult; the terraforming of a climate-changed Earth; polyamorous love on an anarchist tea farm during the apocalypse; and much more. Killjoy writes fearless, mind-expanding fiction that is redefining the genre.

Praise for this book
"Killjoy is an exciting, radical gust of freshness and anarchic energy that leaves you seeing the world with new eyes. These stories showcase Killjoy's electrifying range, and lets us into the genuine warmth of characters who are often sidelined by the world at large." - Tobias S Buckell
"I always feel such relief and recognition reading one of Margaret Killjoy's stories. Here there are punks and monsters and orcs and the always-approaching apocalypse, and none of the alienating niceties of middle-class aspirations. She's not writing nice stories about nice people. It's all hope and hunger and dirt under your fingernails instead. Thank f#$%." - Nino Cipri
"With indelible characters, unruly worlds, and lively wry prose, the stories in We Won't Be Here Tomorrow insist on motivations, desires, actions, and affinities unbound by conventional expectations." - Madeline Ffitch
"This book puts the punk back into punk. Margaret Killjoy knows about resistance and solidarity, about spellcasting and hitchhiking; she also knows about that one ghost whispering to you. Margaret has a singularly principled approach that comes through every story: read this collection to help orient yourself in quiet forests and in near-future battlegrounds alike. We Won't Be Here Tomorrow is the rare book that is both knife-sharp and empathetic, that shows you how to fight and also makes you consider why. Read it, tell your friends - your enemies will scramble to catch up." - Bogi Takács
