ABORTION STORIES: Fiction on Fire

Edited by Rick Lawler

Foreword by David Brin

 

A fictional look at all sides of this controversy, pro-life, pro-choice, and a few that defy categorization.

 

Reviews:

 

"The stories are science fiction, fantasy, horror, and mainstream. They will touch your heart, disgust you, make you cry, horrify you, but most importantly, they will make you think and keep you reading until the book ends and you find yourself wishing you had another just like it. This is probably the best book I've read this year." -- Mike Olson, Small Press Writers and Artists Association

 

"...this book dives courageously to the center of the controversy. Twenty-two short stories and one poem--all of exceptional quality--will bring this issue to life as never before." -- Carol Wright, New Age Publishing and Retailing Alliance

 

"Well written..." -- Conscience, Catholics for a Free Choice

 

"So you thought fiction couldn't be controversial? Try this collection, with stories by the likes of David Brin, Ron Dee, Joyce Hunt, Barry Hoffman, and 19 others. Though it leans decidedly toward the horrific, it's still a thoughtful look at all sides of the issue." -- William D. Gagliani, Booklovers

 

"...exactly what its title implies...disturbing." -- Gary K. Wolf, Locus

 

"Not for the weak hearted." Don D'Ammassa, Science Fiction Chronicle
