An unexplained astronomical phenomenon brings a woman and her grandfather closer. The majority of stories have a lesbian theme, but some take a broader slant over female relationships. The Highwayman Come Riding by M Bennardo is a thoughtful tale about a woman dying in a society where death largely passes women by. Made Light by Melissa Moorer has a young adult vib I unreservedly love this collection of short speculative fiction.
Heiresses of Russ 2011 : the year's best lesbian speculative fiction
Made Light by Melissa Moorer has a young adult vibe that I loved, and a wonderful ending. To say more about this one would be a massive spoiler though. Jean Roberta has done a fantastic job editing this collection. All are superbly written and edited. Not with this one. May 02, Kat Heatherington rated it liked it.

For a book of short stories, this is really pretty good. I am not at all a short-story person -- they are just not long enough to really develop anything at all, and so I tend to see them as seeds of larger stories -- if they're not expressing an idea larger than they are, I'm completely unimpressed. Most of the stories in this collection do express an idea larger than themselves. The collection is highly varied, with a good mix of fantasy, science fiction, and liminal sorts of speculative ficti For a book of short stories, this is really pretty good.
The collection is highly varied, with a good mix of fantasy, science fiction, and liminal sorts of speculative fiction.
A few too many of them land heavy-handedly on "it's so hard to be gay" as a basic point of the story. But enough of the stories have much more interesting ideas to develop that the collection overall holds together pretty well.
And a few of them are real jewels, flawlessly executed in the small space they occupy. Nov 21, Rachel rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this collection. There is a ton of variety which I really appreciate in a short story collection. I think almost anyone is going to find a story or two they like here. Or, like me, you'll find you like almost all of them.
