<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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 <i>Soylent Green</i>, from Persephone to <i>2001</i>, from Alice in Wonderland to <i>Alien</i>. 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!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Candas Jane Dorsey </b>works across genre boundaries, writing poetry, fiction, mainstream and speculative, short and long form, arts journalism and arts advocacy.
