Product Description
Book Description
What is Slipstream? Slipstream may use the tropes and ideas of science fiction, fantasy and horror but is not bound by their rules. Slipstream may appear to be conventional literary fiction but falls outside the staid boundaries of the mainstream. In short, Slipstream is the most important, innovative and relevant fictional response to the challenges of the twenty-first century. Genre is dead; long live the genre that is not a genre!
In this anthology, award-winning editor Allen Ashley has collected 21 brand new Slipstream stories from across the globe from both established and up and coming writers. This is the fiction to thrill, puzzle, excite and disturb. You have nothing to lose but your preconceptions.

Format:Paperback
This book has been on my shelf for a year or so now. To be honest that was the best place for it, picking up this book and spending time reading the stories (Nina Allan's Dark Room apart)was a mistake. Dull, clumsy, pointless...Don't buy this book, it tries so hard to represent what sounds like an interesting take on writing but doesn't work. I imagine slipstream works best when you don't set out to write it.

A collection of slightly darker, near future/present day SF. Most are OK, but I would not rush to reread the stories. Despite the blurb about having nothing to lose but your preconceptions, there were no real surprises or shocks.
