Heiresses of Russ 2013: The Years's Best Lesbian Speculative Fiction by Steve Berman, Tenea D. Johnson
4.0
The third installment of The Heiressess of Russ 2013 did entice me somewhat less than the previous two. There was a lot of weird in this selection (something you will get with speculative fiction).
We have a mixed offering of fantasy, lesbian vampires, magic realism, fairy tale re-telling, post apocalyptic worlds, shifters, Chinese mythology, unrequited love, abuse, war, but also sweet love stories.
I’ve read Sarah Diemer’s Sea Witch as a stand-alone novelette before and was happy to see a familiar face in Jewelle Gomez. I love her Gilda chronicles. These anthologies are always interesting to read.
