The Queer Fantastic is in two parts. Part 1 is an anthology of magical realist short stories with queer themes and characters. Part 2 is an academic thesis that examines the relationship between magical realism and queer themes/politics, presenting the argument that the two combined can be utilised to critique the hegemonic cis-heteronormativity of society, as well as present a desirably queer reality that embraces diversity.
