"5 STARS!" -Good Reads. How Did Visionary Women See the Future? Written between 1931 and 1979, these thirteen stories show how different women have, in different eras, envisioned the future of their sex. Selecting its contents from lesser known writers, Future Eves presents Leslie F. Stone's novelette, "The Conquest of Gola" (1931), an encounter with Earth males told from the point-of-view of an alien matriarch, so far ahead of its time, nothing like it would be attempted again in science fiction until the work of Alice Sheldon (AKA James Tiptree, Jr.) in the 1970s. Hazel Heald's novelette, "The Man of Stone," is searingly feminist, all the more so since her heroine, like so many women of the time, takes her brutalized situation so much for granted. In "Miss Millie's Rose" (1959), Joy Leache manages what so few male science fiction writers of the era seemed able to do: portray a character whose psychology arises out of her future world and not our own. Betsy Curtis' "The Goddess of Planet Delight" is a short novel in the classic mode that mixes a sociological puzzle with pointed satire, high-adventure and romance. Brace yourself for Djinn Faine's "Daughter of Eve," a story you will never forget, no matter how hard you try. Plus stories by Florence Engel Randall, Evelyn Goldstein, Beth Elliot, Evelyn E. Smith, Marcia Kaimien, and others. Future Eves is fascinating reading, both as science fiction and as an eye-opening view into futures past.

Writing Successful Self-Help and How-To Books

She was the first woman he had ever been An SF transgender classic Chosen one of the "Thirty Most Important Science Fiction Novels of the 1960s," Season of the Witch tells the story of Andre, a man who rapes and murders a woman in a post-apocalyptic future. A dangerously low population has resulted in an end to capital punishment. Instead of execution, Andre has his brain transplanted into his victim's body, while his own body is given to an aging, brilliant scientist. Andre's search for his original male body takes him through a series of physically and spiritually disorienting sexual encounters to an unexpected denouement during an Agape ceremony in the temple of a strange, hedonistic cult. No wonder Foundation called the book, "A powerful tale of biological transformation and sexual identity." Or, that 20th Century Science Fiction Writers hailed it as, "A special combination of science fiction and pornographic detail and rhetoric. The quality of the novel artistically justifies this radical strategy." In 1995 the book was filmed as Synapse (U.K. as Memory Run), introducing its unique mix of transgender and science fiction to a whole new audience. This paperback edition contains a new Afterword and s Filmograpy listing cast, crew, production credits. Here is what other critics say about this classic work: "Razorblade fiction " -The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction "Where science fiction is often male chauvinist this might raise male consciousness." Worlds Beyond: A Critical History of Science Fiction "A good SF book and a rather better novel qua novel. Stine never offers an explicit sexual scene in standard cliche pornographical terms - each description brings a personal and original observation into play. Many of these observations are not erotic - they may even strike some readers as anti-erotic - but they ring with truth. A genuine work of erotic realism, written far above the standards of pornography. The body of the novel lies in the male protagonist's response to biological and physical constraints and the transformation of his personality forced upon him by his female body. Effective...rich...rewarding...engrossing and unusual... littered with genuine insights." Ted White, editor, Heavy Metal "What happens to a man's mind in a woman's body? Stine makes you inhabit that mind and slowly, imperceptibly, absorbs you into the existence of a woman until you as a man no longer exist. You become a woman, different from the one you raped and killed, and a better woman, at the end. Stine is a remarkable writer both for style, which is turgid with evocative detail and intense psychological insight, and for use of the second-person technique, which in fiction is used very infrequently, but which is required for the Punishment and Retribution parts in this book. There is eroticism in the book. The sex act is the most important sphere of life for this book, for Stine, for you, in the working out of the changes of psyche involved. ...and it is there that Stine takes you to show the subtle altering of man to woman in the body of Josette Kovacs, deceased." Science Fiction Review "Passion, pain, real pluck ... a good eye for physical detail and a strong feeling for the human predicament." Fritz Leiber, Fantastic Jean Marie Stine has been editor of Galaxy SF and Starblaze Books, and is currently editor of Futures-Past Editions. Her short stories have appeared in numerous publications including Amazing Stories, Galaxy, Pegasus, and SF Sagas, and are collected in Herstory & Other Science Fictions. During the late 1960s she served as personal assistant to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, working on special projects; and in the 1970s she wrote the now classic, The Prisoner: A Day in the Life, based on the cult television series starring Patrick McGoohan.

The thrill-a-minute stories the writers of the original movie, "The Mummy" with Boris Karloff, and its many sequels and remakes, used for research. Fans of those films will find the origins of: the scene in which the sacred formula for eternal life is secreted in the base of a statue of Isis; as well as the scenes in which mummies are brought back to life by burning a rare Egyptian herb; where a modern woman, who is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian princess, begins to turn into a mummy herself; where mummies can only be truly destroyed by fire; and many others. Your blood will run cold at such exciting tales as "In the Valley of the Sorceress" by Sax Rohmer, "The Mummy's Foot" by Theophile Gautier, "The Nameless Mummy" by Arlton Eadie, "The Mummy of Thompson-Pratt" by C.J. Cutcliffe Hyne, "Monkeys" by E. F. Benson, and two unabridged short novels, "Lot No. 249" by Arthur Conan Doyle and "The Curse of Amen-Ra" by Victor Rousseau. This anthology is a must-read for everyone who has ever loved their mummy. In addition, readers will find a list of mummy movies for recommended viewing, and an introduction by editor Jean Marie Stine.

Empowering Your Life with Runes

Janrae Frank

An extraordinary anthology of science fiction stories written by women about women. These stories have not appeared as part of a novel, nor have they appeared in print in any anthology within the last 15 years. Stories range from the 1920s to the present. Includes virtually every female science fiction writer.

Science Fiction about the Extraordinary Women of Today and Tomorrow

New Eves

A unique anthology of time-tested shudder-stories about a unique breed of women who "refused to take death lying down"--and is available exclusively to eBook readers. Though they may all be siblings beneath the skin (and graveyard as well!), these vampiric sisters are as different as any eight women could be. one "The Good Lady Ducayne") prefers to acquire her nourishment through more scientific means. Another doesn't even drink blood at all; her approach to draining the life from her victims is somewhat more direct (but we think you'll agree that "Luella Miller" deserves the appellation "vampire" every bit as much as any of the rest). Some inhabit ancient European castles with bloodlines that stretch back into history ("Clarimonde") others (like "Mrs. Amworth") are freshly-minted, dwelling in the house right across the street. Some are reached by automobile ("The Dark Castle"); others lie far back in time in the late 1700s ("Wake not the Dead"). Some joined the legions of the undead via the standard methods, like suicide ("The Blood is the Life"), while still others owe their existence to very unusual means indeed ("Placide's Wife"). Some even embraced their fate for love ("Each Man Kills"). There is one thing these frightful female fiends have in common, however, besides their fangs: Once you've met them, you will never forget them!
