![]() Coyote’s short stories mixed with Eden Robinson’s speculative fiction found in her novel Monkey Beach and her short story “Terminal Avenue” which I first read in the anthology So Long Been Dreaming: Postcolonial Science-Fiction and Fantasy. “Shark” by Kestrel Barnes focuses less on erotica than other stories in the collection, and tells the story of death and remarriage in the lives of one queer family. ![]() Only one story in Fist of the Spider Woman really stood out to me. This made the collection overall feel incomplete and in need of longer stories or more connection between them rather than just being a random collection of horror erotica. However, the execution wasn’t as strong due to the disjointed connections between the stories and the constraint of telling a narrative in such a short length. Overall I thought the premise of the collection was quite good. Stories ranged from slug porn, BDSM, vampires, kidnapping and forced imprisonment to having sex with ghosts, all centring around erotic relationships of power. This is honestly a very difficult book to critique due to the disjointed and weird, out there nature of the stories. This book was my selection for the Queer Lit Bingo 2016 challenge: B1 Short Stories.įist of Spider Woman is an anthology centred around the theme of horror, fear and queer desire. Title: Fist of the Spider Woman: Tales of Fear and Queer Desire ![]()
