Bending the Landscape: Science Fiction

I loved this trilogy of anthologies, the other two being BTL: Fantasy and BTL: Horror. This one was twenty-one short stories which create "worlds where time and place and sexuality are alternative to the empirical environment". Most are pretty straight-forward science fiction while a few are more generally speculative fiction. Almost all the stories have terrific prose and of course all feature gay or lesbian characters. This book was nominated for several awards, winning the Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Best Other Work and the 1999 Lambda Literary Award for SciFi/Fantasy/Horror.
