Why be a slug? Slugs: A Manifesto explores a creature that survives by being disgusting. Weaving together manifesto, memoir and poetic language, Abi Palmer considers the politics of space, iridescent queerness, and shapeshifting viscous ‘slug time.’ In the face of a potential apocalypse, Slugs: A Manifesto envisions a future where humanity becomes just a little more sluglike.

Slugs returns in an expanded, limited deluxe edition, with a new cover, ISBN and 24 extra text pages drawn from dynamic sluggy conversations (with Zarina Muhammad of The White Pube, Lola Olufemi and Christie Costello of Bare Minimum Collective and the mysoclogist, Nathan Smith).
