Description

An Anthology of Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy from Award-Winning Editor Paula Guran Speculative fiction imagines drastically diverse ways of being and worlds that are other than the one with which we are familiar.

Queerness is a natural fit for such fiction, so one would expect it to be customarily included.

That has not always been the case, but LGBTQ+ representation in science fiction and fantasy—in both short and long form—is now relatively common.

Even so, most of the queer science fiction and fantasy anthologies published in the last thirty-five years have been narrowly focused: specifically gay male or lesbian (or, more recently, transgender) themes, or all science fiction or all fantasy, or adhering to a specific theme or subgenre.  Far Out: Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy, on the other hand, features both science fiction and fantasy short fiction from the last decade and includes characters, perspectives, and stories that span the rainbow.

With stories from incredible authors ranging from Seanan McGuire to Charlie Jane Anders to Sam J.

Miller, it’s an essential read for anyone interested in queer science fiction and fantasy. ContentsIntroduction: Over the Rainbow and into the Far Out by Paula GuranDestroyed by the Waters by Rachel SwirskyThe Sea Troll’s Daughter by Caitlín R.
