Publisher: Exile Editions, The Limited Author: Ursula Pflug Dewey Edition: 23 Synopsis: Eating is a symbolic and magical act--a transformation, a covenant, a ritual, a comfort, a necessity--but all through history, food-themed stories have also had their dark sides. Food can be integral to the magic, the meetings, and the processes of fantastical fiction: from myth and legend to high fantasy, from hard-science speculative fiction to post-modern magic realism, from Hansel and Gretel to Soylent Green , from Persephone to 2001 , from Alice in Wonderland to Alien . In this anthology, Ursula Pflug and Candas Jane Dorsey, two award-winning senior writers of literary speculation, have gathered a range of speculative writing that recognizes both our attraction to the candy coating and our fascination with the poisoned apple. Paired with each story is a recipe, real or fantastical, for food mentioned in the story: consume at your own risk, Eating is a symbolic and magical act--a transformation, a covenant, a ritual, a comfort, a necessity--but all through history, food-themed stories have also had their dark sides.
