Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Twelve science fiction writers create situations "where erotic needs and society's rules conflict or interact" in Sextopia: Stories of Sex and Society, edited by Cecilia Tan (Black Feathers). In Eric Del Carlo's imagined future, "carnality has been bred out," but the occasional riot born of suppressed needs is quelled by sex soldiers; Suzy McKee Charnas's heroine sculpts a wooden man from a tree, and is gratified when he saves her life and bestows another favor or two.

From Booklist

The 11 hot stories by gifted writers of futuristic erotica that editor Tan has collected all ask us to expand our visions and understandings of sex in situations in which sexual acts impinge on society. From using sexual energy to fuel a spaceship in Jennifer Stevenson's "Something for Everyone" to examining the tremendous cost of sexual repression and a fascinating solution to its concomitant societal havoc in Eric Del Carlo's "To Love and Riot" to the tender treatment of the sexuality of a woman suffering scleroderma in A. R. Morlan's "Stone, Still," the stories in Sextopia ask for nothing less than complete engagement on the part of the reader. Explicit, brash, alien, often strangely beautiful, these insightful and sexy stories definitely make one think. Paula Luedtke

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.

This review is from: Sextopia (Paperback)

What a great read..... from the hard hitting first story which breaks you into the book by using a sledge hammer to the more subtle and intruiging stories later on I couldn't put the book down. A fantastic selection of authors whose names are fast becoming familiar. A good blend of Fantasy/Erotica. Excellent
