TRANSMOGRIFY! 14 Fantastical Tales of Trans Magic

This audio anthology of short stories centers on trans and nonbinary characters in a magical setting. An ensemble cast of narrators--Nicky Endres, Avi Roque, Vico Ortiz, and Qamar Yochanan--deliver tales about students in magical schools, people whose magic doesn't fit binary and gender expectations, monstrous revenge, broomstick customization, and caring for dragon eggs. Endres's narration, in particular, leans into melodramatic performances that embody audacious main characters and comically evil villains. Ortiz's narration style is chilling and atmospheric, engrossing listeners in horrors that include whispering spirits and gravelly-voiced monsters. Roque and Yochanan voice characters utilizing distinct tones and modulation, delivering tender, emotional moments realistically. Truly magical listening.
