So Fey
Edited by Steve Berman

       

They're immortal. They cannot lie. Often they are unnaturally beautiful or horrendously ugly. With a song or a glance or a single kiss they can bewitch. They are the Fey Folk. For centuries they have captivated us, in folktales and in fiction.

This is a collection of faery stories with a distinctive twist - all have g/l/b/t themes. While there have been anthologies of queer speculative fiction, none have ever focused attention on faeries. But consider how so many gay cultural elements can be applied to the Fey - the focus on youth and beauty, the love of the dance, and wild passion and

decadence. Not to mention the drama of vengeance and spurned love.

Under the Brooklyn Bridge, in the bars along the Hudson, and on steamy subway platforms, lesbians find romance, true love, and sometimes heartbreak. It is the greatest city on earth--and the most promising place to find love, as today's finest writers reveal.
