Hellebore & Rue: Tales of Queer Women and Magic
The editors ofHellebore & Rue, Joselle Vanderhooft and Catherine Lundoff, have put together a collection that has a little of something for everyone, and will not disappoint readers who love and appreciate the complexities of fantasy fiction's many cultural connections and narratives....Whether or not the authors of any of these tales were deliberate or conscious in their choices of metaphors, literary references and symbols is beside the point; what these comparative cultural integrations underscore are the similarities and commonalities of human experiences. This is why the work in this anthology triumphs; they are well-written, humane, thought-provoking, and entertaining. --Lambda Literary FoundationIf you're a fan of speculative fiction, and more specifically lesbians practicing magic,Hellebore and Rue: Tales of Queer Women and Magicdeserves a special little spot on your bookshelf. --The Rainbow Reader
