[Book Review] Best Erotic Fantasy & Science Fiction
Best Erotic Fantasy & Science Fiction / Cecelia Tan & Bethany Zaiatz (eds) (Powell's Books)
The best fantasy is subversive.
Fantasy is not the now, not the reality that we encapsulate. Fantasy goes outside and explores our dreams and nightmares, or delight and disquiet.
Taboos.
And all of this is before we explicitly mix in sex.
The tales in Best Erotic Fantasy & Science Fiction are unexpected. Sometimes uncomfortable. Well crafted and exploring worlds and desires familiar and alien. These well-crafted stories subvert the status-quo and in doing so form excellent fantastical fiction.
