Best Erotic Fantasy & Science Fiction

A compilation of the very best speculative erotica our editors could find. When Cecilia Tan founded Circlet Press in 1992, the house was one of the only places where readers who enjoyed a mixture of erotica with fantasy or science fiction could get their fix. Since then, paranormal romance has taken off to become the bestselling romance subgenre (Sherrilyn Kenyon) and even futuristic settings have taken hold in steamy romance (J. D. Robb), while the mainstream of science fiction and fantasy have moved in an ever-more erotic direction (Catherine Asaro, Jacqueline Carey). Circlet Press is still the place to go for the very best in erotic fantasy, as we cherry-picked the stories for this hot collection from among all the nominations we received. Praise for "Best Fantastic Erotica" (a previous Circlet publication): "Tan (Sex in the System) presents the top stories from Circlet's Best Fantastic Erotica contest in an anthology that runs the gamut from sensual SF to surreal fantasy. Arinn Dembo's Monsoon [is] the deserving prize winner." -- Publishers Weekly "Circlet Press is a premier publisher of erotic literature and its publisher, Cecilia Tan, is an expert in all aspects and segments of this specialized literary genre. Her newest publication is "Best Fantastic Erotica..". The carefully crafted, deftly executed, imaginatively original, and memorably entertaining stories range [widely]. "Best Fantastic Erotica" is an impressive and superbly produced volume that is enthusiastically and confidently recommended for readers of sophistication who appreciate an erotic element infused with seminal stories of science fiction and fantasy." -- Midwest Book Review
