Cover, A Fish Out of Water by Karin Kallmaker. A mermaid sleeps on a dock against a dark, misty sea. A single word will cost them everything. The Lesbian Review writes, "My favorite adaptation of The Little Mermaid."

The result is an unexpectedly haunting tale told in image-drenched language that stays with you long after the story is over.

Bug's Own Words

“Karin Kallmaker’s re-write of The Little Mermaid is more to the liking of Bruno Bettelheim than Disney, no clamshell pasties here, but something deep and layered with meaning. …The result is an unexpectedly haunting tale told in image-drenched language that stays with you long after the story is over.”
