Summary: As 2017 opened, the United States took several steps back in the progress toward equality. In response, a group of authors has stepped up to offer positive stories of hope and love. In an effort to help fight and support those groups who are facing even greater challenges, we wrote these stories to offer a small amount of aid. Stories of hope, resistance, and ultimately triumph fill the pages of this anthology. All proceeds of the anthology go to The Trevor Project and GLAAD to help fight the effects of the dark times we’re facing.

Summary: NOTE: This the 8th of Bad Dog Books' annual themed furry fiction anthology series, Roar. Though the book features a lot of diverse representation, not all the stories are queer.   Paradise can be the stark natural beauty of our own world; it can be the connections we have with the people we love; it can be a moment in time. Paradise can be a place we're seeking or a place that we didn't realize we already had until it started to slip away. It can have a dark side. Even shining science-fiction utopias can come with a price. Read this book and take a journey through eighteen different visions of paradise—beginning with the personal and natural, traveling through the societal and technological, and all the way out to the supernal and divine. A great book can heal you when you're hurting, give you an escape that you desperately need, or even rekindle a lost spark of hope. Let this book be a small piece of paradise for you.

Summary: NOTE: This the 8th of Bad Dog Books' annual themed furry fiction anthology series, Roar. Though the book features a lot of diverse representation, not all the stories are queer.   RESIST. Join the RESISTANCE. Meet a whole host of characters -- a drunk, grumpy frog; a nerdy pizza delivery cat, haunted by a ghost; an alligator and a cat in love; a lion and a human in love; soulmates tied together across the boundaries of reincarnation and transformation; a dhole in a rock band; a pangolin with social anxiety; a raccoon stranded planet-side when his spaceship has to leave in a hurry; and many more! These are stories of resistance, but they're also stories to give you a break from the real world, let you rest while the racoon lawyers and magical kittens do the fighting, and then you can come back recharged. Read fifteen stories from both writers new to the furry writing scene and familiar names like Watts Martin, Ryan Campbell, KC Alpinus, and Amy Fontaine in this powerful collection!
