![Cover of Out There by Kate Folk, published 2022-01-25 by Random House Publishing Group, 256 pages](./cover-7314356.jpeg)

One of the author quotes on Folk's website ([www.katefolk.com/home](https://www.katefolk.com/home)) blurbs these as "if Kafka and Camus and Bradbury were penning episodes of Black Mirror" and yeah, pretty much. I'm too much of a ninny to watch Black Mirror, and if someone made this book of stories into a show I would be too much of a ninny to watch it, but I enjoyed each of these little tales of mostly single women, mostly in SF, dealing with some pretty strange things. Body horror, as promised.
