Lightspeed Magazine, June 2015: Queers Destroy Science Fiction! Special Issue by Seanan McGuire

3.0

I heard that Queers Destroy Science Fiction was super controversial, really good, really transgressive. As usual, the rumor mill was wrong. Not that this is bad, and I don't actually read a lot of contemporary short scifi so my comparisons might be off, but I found this collection surprisingly... "bland" is the best word. Little domestic problems that were not particularly science-fictiony, or particularly GLTBQ. The only new story that really stuck with me was one of the flash fictions, "Bucket List", by Erica L. Satifka.

I think the most pressing argument for this collection as average is that by far the best stories, the ones with the most edge and attitude and good ideas and writing, were the oldest; Raven Kaldera's "CyberFruit Swamp" from 1996 and Geoff Ryman's "O Happy Day!"
