Wilde Stories 2013: The Year's Best Gay Speculative Fiction (Wilde Stories: Year's Best Gay Speculative Fiction)
''The solid latest volume in this annual collection of gay speculative fiction includes a dozen stories from 2012, chosen by editor and publisher Berman (Boys of Summer) from various sources. While the only criterion is that each story must have a gay character or theme, a seductive undercurrent involving the sea or water symbolically connects many of the stories.... With many genres, tones, and styles represented, there's a little something for everyone.'' ----Publishers Weekly''The various authors anthologized here write on different subjects ranging from a gay, humanoid cephalopod couple to a man tormented by the dead after his lover's suicide. Despite the disparities, the collection comes together as a remarkably coherent whole, and none of the characters' queer identities outweigh the telling of the tales....An impressive collection brimming with originality.'' --Kirkus Reviews
