Lesbians in Speculative Fiction

Inkstained Succubus

Today’s topic comes from QSFer Anastasia Vitsky: “What are some F/F sci fi authors and books you have read?” She pointed out, rightly, that we talk a lot about MM fiction, but very little about the other parts of the LGBt spectrum, so I’ll be introducing more topics that touch on the LBTQI folks in our midst. So let’s have fun with this one! What is your favorite FF speculative fiction – authors and books? And let’s broaden it out to include paranormal and fantasy, too. The cover above is from one of my favorite presses that does a lot … Read more

“Mnevermind” Trilogy by Jordan Castillo Price

Here’s my review of the first book in the trilogy: This is an urban science fiction story, about a man named Daniel, who works in a memory modification adventure agency, kind of like in Total Recall, but cooler—because Daniel’s gay. Yes, gayness makes everything cooler. The plot revolves around a glitch Daniel’s experiencing in one of his “love programs”—there are many hilarious moments concerning this plotline. I don’t get to read a lot of humorous MM, but JCP is a master of the dry wit. The story takes on an interesting dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream quality, reminding me of Inception. In some moments … Read more

“Infected: Paris” by Andrea Speed

Infected: Paris is a novella by Andrea Speed, and a prequel to the Infected series. I had only read Infected: Prey, the first book, before I read this. I really liked Paris. I’m a sucker for a black-haired, blue-eyed beauty. The narrator is mainly Roan McKichan, but there are some Paris point of view scenes as well. If you start with this book, you’ll still get the general set up of the world, which takes place in contemporary Seattle, where everything is essentially the same, except that a small percentage of the population has a cat infection…or turns into a … Read more

Popular creatures, like vampires, werewolves (and/or shifters), Witches, & Fae, populate most of our paranormal fiction. Ghosts, zombies, demons, angels, and other assorted creatures show up often, as well. But what about … Read more
