Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-08 00:00:00 Gary Ambrose During winter and summer breaks from seminary I would devour science fiction books collected over the preceding semester, usually knowing nothing of their contents beyond the cover descriptions. Short story collections with name authors were, of course, safest. They couldn't be all bad. This book is typical of such acquisitions: a name editor, name authors, eye-catching cover and seductive theme. Of all the stories the most memorable is Yarbro's, later expanded into a novel which I also read.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-05 00:00:00 Abigail Cousins It was amusing to see how many books have had the title Strange Bedfellows. This is more on the science fiction side of things than erotica. My favorite story was Robert Silverberg's Push No More, about a teenage boy's desperate longing for sexual awakening, and what is lost with his innocence. Since this is a collection from the early 70s, its interesting to see what they get wrong about the future, like in Sturgeon's story, where there is interstellar space travel, but homosexuality is still completely forbidden.
