From the winner of the 2023 Ursula K Le Guin Prize for Fiction comes a short story collection that radiates from the dark forests of the Pacific northwest. In ten tales, Rebecca Campbell's exquisite prose channels ancient forest spirits, the lost ghosts of unknown fates, biological and technological transformations, and challenges the ways that colonization and extraction have shaped not only landscapes but how we imagine the future. Campbell zeros in on horrors and hopes, readying readers for the world to come.

About Campbell's interconnected short stories in her novella Arboreality, the 2023 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize selection committee said, "In her masterful and profoundly ethical stories, Campbell asks us what might be saved, what must be saved, and what it will take to do so." Continuing in this tradition, The Other Shore delves deep into what transformations we need to survive and thrive.
