Hi! I’m looking for edgy or subversive literary short fantasy stories/collections. I basically want Her Body and Other Parties with a more fantasy bent. (I also enjoyed Strange Candy by Laurel K. Hamilton)
Subversive can mean a lot of things, but I guess here it means unlikable protagonists, difficult topics, unhappy endings, sexual content but not necessarily sexy. Sexy is fine, I’m just not looking for erotica without plot. I’m not necessarily looking for hyper violence, although it’s fine if it’s very literary.
Sci fi/urban fantasy is also fine, but I am specifically looking for both subversive and literary. (I do follow some short story magazines but I am not aware of mainstream magazines with specifically “edgy” fantasies.)
