What is there to say about alien sex that hasn"t been said before? Plenty! Take for instance, Gwyneth Jones"s venture into the world of virtual sex in "Red Sonja and Lessingham in Dreamland." Not every escapist fantasy is really an escape, it seems. Or consider Neil Gaiman"s examination of predatyor/prey relationships, "Eaten, " which fast-forwards through a torrid bout of Hollywood love. But what is real? And why does it hurt so much? From Scott Bradfield"s vision of the alien in the everyday to Samuel R. Delany"s classic depiction of how the altered fit among us, from Sherry Coldsmiths cold-eyed view of prostitution to the dream visions of Joyce Carol Oates, John Kaiine, Lisa Tuttle, Kathe Koja and Barry N. Malzberg, this anthology offers a score of tribal lays that-- right or wrong--will make you think and feel things you"ve never known before.
