Fantastic Tales
of Love and Loss
Reviews
In the 20th century—that is, before popular spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle arrived on the scene—“space consciousness” was a term applied to unfettered science fiction rather than bodhisattva wannabes. In its original sense space consciousness remains the hallmark of all true science fiction, and few alive today express it more fully and naturally in their writing than Joe Green. This delightful new collection of short stories by Joe Green is further proof, if any were needed. (It’s not.)
An absorbing collection of Joseph Green’s newest stories that delve into the more unusual parts of the human psyche. Beautifully-written and nearly impossible to forget. These tales will linger in your mind for years. I know. I originally published a handful of these stories in my online magazine, Perihelion Science Fiction. Now Green has collected them all, plus many more in this must-have collection. Many of the stories deal with eroticism between aliens and humans, robots and humans, stranger creatures and humans. The writing is crisp, economical, and lyrical. The plots are original and absorbing.
In this collection of short stories, reminiscent in tone of 1960’s and ’70’s classic sci-fi, the author deftly explores themes of gender and species-bending sexuality and obsession. A solid read for speculative fiction aficionados in search of new treatment for timeless subjects.
