Nik Flandré's erotic SF story "Arena"
|
"The latest theme anthology from Circlet Press centers around the erotic uses of telepathy. Edited by Cecilia Tan, the stories in Mind & Body run the gamut from near-mimetic to fantasy to cyberpunk, and reflect a variety of ingenious approaches to the topic. I particularly enjoyed Evan Hollander’s "ESX," a kind of Walter Mitty exploration of office sex on a mental plane, and "The Arena" by Nik Flandré, which takes the hoary notion of aliens using humans for combat sport and twists it through sexual angles. It should be noted that the eleven stories are split almost evenly between male and female authors, lending this collection a pleasantly heterogeneous ambiance." --Paul DiFilippo, Asimov's |
