Reviews

Old stories written by old raycysts


(4.5 stars)

I just thank the goddess I am living in the time when we good secular humanists have determined the exact form of morality that is universally appropriate for all personkind. These raycyst authors wrote what they considered to be good stories. We now know them to be evil stories full of endemic cisnormative power that marginalizes communities of color. They were so raycyst back then, that they failed to even realize they were raycyst.

Very good


(4.5 stars)

This collection is outstanding compared with some of the others. The stories were all engaging and the narration was mostly good. Big thank you to LibriVox and the volunteers.
