Description: Heiresses of Russ offers readers in one volume the best lesbian-themed tales of the fantastical, weird and otherworldly, published during the prior year. The transformative power of the written word becomes magic and tests the boundaries of gender, identity and a woman's dreams.
Review Quotes: "This book should be an annual publication to continue elevating and promoting lesbian science and speculative fiction. Queer speculative fiction collections that have not been refreshed since Nicola Griffith and Scott Pagel's excellent three-volume Bending the Landscape series of lesbian and gay science fiction, fantasy and horror will benefit from this title. This title is also great for patrons with a strong interest in contemporary urban fantasy and for speculative anthologies." - Joel Nichols for the GLBT Roundtable of the American Library Assoc.
