Ginn Hale

Ginn Hale writes fantasy distinguished by carefully built speculative settings and relationships shaped by social pressure, loyalty, and difference. Blind Eye Books released The Long Past & Other Stories during 2017, collecting three linked novellas set in an alternate American West. Its stories combine frontier towns, prehistoric creatures, scientific ambition, and queer romance within a shared world. Publishers Weekly identified the volume as speculative fiction and noted how its separate narratives connect through setting and recurring historical tensions. The collection’s form matters because it is neither a single continuous novel nor an unrelated anthology by multiple writers. Hale wrote all three pieces, using different central characters to explore the same transformed landscape from distinct angles. The Long Past & Other Stories extends the imaginative range visible in her other fantasy work while retaining her interest in outsiders building trust under difficult conditions. Blind Eye Books issued the collection in October 2017, with ISBN 9781935560517.
