Transformation beyond a single change

Callum Angus’s collection places trans characters in a world where transformation keeps unfolding. Its stories range from bodily changes on an immense scale—growing as tall as buildings or becoming mountains—to hometown mysteries and the image of giving birth to cocoons. Alternative history, horror, and magic shape this imaginative approach to change, while the collection’s natural-history framing links personal transformation with the vast timescales of landscapes. The result is a work of speculative fiction grounded in trans experience, with varied story premises rather than one continuous narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction centered on trans characters and transformation.
  • Readers who enjoy short-story collections blending alternative history, horror, and magic.
  • Readers drawn to imaginative premises involving landscapes and mysteries.

Book overview

A Natural History of Transition is a collection of short stories that disrupts the notion that trans people can only have one transformation. Like the landscape studied over eons, change does not have an expiration date for these trans characters, who grow as tall as buildings, turn into mountains, unravel hometown mysteries, and give birth to cocoons. Portland-based author Callum Angus infuses his work with a mix of alternative history, horror, and a reality heavily dosed with magic.
