Book Description

September 20, 2008
Spicy stories that defy genre! Alluring tales that will astound readers!

Slipstream stories are that weird combination of eloquent fancy and conventional literary form. Intended to make the reader feel out of sorts within the confines of their imagination, such fiction became the darling of small press venues. And so, maybe, found its way into the hands of a few readers.

But add a dash of the risque and the end result is Spicy Slipstream Stories. Here the adventure and bosoms of the old pulps are blended with the stylistic innovations and reader affect of that non-genre genre, slipstream. Embrace the way a sweat, the bruises, the upper thighs of these stories collected by editors Jay Lake and Nick Mamatas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaks all the rules - both in story content and literary format, January 7, 2009
This review is from: Spicy Slipstream Stories (Paperback)
Writing evolves over time when people dare to break pre-conceived genre lines. "Spicy Slipstream Stories" is a collection of short stories that dare to be different and add new twists on the genre of noir-style pulpy stories that innovate as they entertain and pave the way for future readers. The stories don't mind being a little naughty and hold little regard for taboo. "Spicy Slipstream Stories" is riveting and entertaining as it breaks all the rules - both in story content and literary format.
