More erotic fiction edited by Tan (Black Feathers, 1998, etc.),
this comprising 12 tales, 19932000, half of which have been
published before in other collections; the book itself first
appeared in Canada in January. There's more here of sex than
crimeacts range from outright illegal to mere solecismsand not much
science fiction either, despite the publisher's froth. Lee
Crittenden's clones enjoy sex with each other even though it's
forbidden. William Marden makes explicit the always-implicit
connection between automobiles and male sexuality. In Maya Kathryn
Bohnhoff's future, love and sex are separate, as are women from
childbearing. Erotic art is illegal in Renee M. Charles's brave new
world. M. Christian's prostitutes masquerade as robots. Raven
Caldera comes up with a fresh vampire variant. Insight illuminates
an S&M yarn from the improbably named Hero Freyr. Still other
pieces, like Jean Marie Stein's brand new penis yarn, apparently
exist solely to push the envelope of the bizarre or
disgusting.Overall, explicit and varied sex in bountiful
quantitiesfans of this publisher and this editor should know by now
what to expectbut in science fictional terms (cf. the vastly
superior Killing Me Softly, 1995, ed. Gardner Dozois, etc.) of
minimal interest. (Kirkus Reviews)
A woman performs S/M on stage in a future where all sensual pain
must be faked. A man searches for a secret sex "speakeasy" in a
high tech city. An assassin finds herself irresistibly attracted to
her victim. An artist's model poses in a world where erotic
expression is taboo. A catastrophe releases the inhibitions of the
people to do more than riot and loot. Taking its title from 1984,
George Orwell's dystopian novel, Sexcrime explores the erotic heat
and intensity that can come from love under repressive conditions.
In thirteen futuristic stories, erotica authors and science fiction
writers (including Jean Stine and Simon Sheppard) celebrate the
ways in which underground love and subversive sex can flourish
through the intimacy of secrets, the thrill of transgression, the
sweetness of forbidden pleasures.
