Fetish Fantastic: Tales of Power and Lust from Futuristic to Surreal, Erotica on the Edge [Paperback]

Cecilia Tan (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The 11 tales in Tan's (Black Feathers: Erotic Dreams) new anthology deal with the eroticism of power exchange--S/M--in futuristic and alternative-reality settings. The best of them fully integrate sex with SF/fantasy and provide erotic heat in satisfactory genre motifs. A futuristic Japanese-flavored culture of rigid societal roles provides the backdrop for Reina Delacroix's submissive/dominant action in "All Things Ripen in Their Own Time." Andrea Horlick's "Training A Priestess" sleeps in the same bed, but its setting is a fantasy temple where acolytes gain spiritual power in exchange for perfect obedience. "Cyber Knight," by Gary Bower, plays in a programmed universe of steamy sexual encounters. M. Christian's stylish "Guernica" is set in a future when kinky sex is a heinous crime and its practitioners risk prison and death to partake in it. Sexuality has been homogenized, licensed and regulated into blandness in "Form," by Pagan O'Leary, wherein it takes an outlaw Master to warm things up. This explicit collection isn't quite the cutting-edge erotics or literature it purports to be, but it's imaginative and a cut above most such offerings. (July)

More About the Author

I write about my passions, which include baseball, erotica, gourmet food, martial arts, and travel. I write fantasy, science fiction, erotic fiction, paranormal romance, and anything else that stimulates my imagination.

In the erotica field, I've been published everywhere from Ms. magazine to Penthouse, and I'm in many, many anthologies and the Best American Erotica series. Susie Bright called me "simply one of the most important writers, editors, and innovators in contemporary American erotic literature." Erotic books I've authored include Black Feathers, White Flames, The Velderet, Mind Games, The Hot Streak, and The Siren and the Sword (Magic University, Book One). I've also edited many anthologies including Women of the Bite, Cowboy Lover, Sex In The System, Wicked Pleasures, SM Visions, for many different publishers, and many many books and ebooks for the independent publishing house I founded, Circlet Press. Those include Best Fantastic Erotica, Erotic Fantastic, Like an Animal, Like Crimson Droplets, and many others, both for Kindle and in paperback.

In science fiction/fantasy I have been published in Asimov's magazine, Strange Horizons, Absolute Magnitude, and many other places.

In baseball, I am the editor of the Maple Street Press YANKEES ANNUAL, author of The 50 Greatest Yankee Games, co-author of 50 Greatest Red Sox Games, the co-editor of THE FENWAY PROJECT, and co-editor of '75: The Red Sox Team That Saved Baseball. I write features for Yankees magazine and other publications. I have a web site of baseball essays, called Why I Like Baseball, at http://whyilikebaseball.com.
