An Anthology of Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy by the award-winning editor Paula Guran

Speculative fiction imagines radically different ways of being and worlds apart from our own. Queer identity naturally fits into this literature, though it hasn't always been common practice to include it. However, the representation of LGBTQ+ in science fiction and fantasy—both in short and long forms—is now relatively common. Nevertheless, most queer science fiction and fantasy anthologies published over the last thirty-five years have focused on narrow themes: specifically gay male or lesbian topics, or more recently on transgender themes, or specific genres or sub-genres.

Far Out: Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy, on the other hand, features short stories of science fiction and fantasy from the last decade, including characters, perspectives, and stories that span the entire spectrum. With stories by amazing authors such as Seanan McGuire, Charlie Jane Anders, and Sam J. Miller, it is a must-read for anyone interested in queer science fiction and fantasy.
