About the book (and click cover to buy):

Food of My People is a savoury collection that serves up an Inspired and fascinating range of all-new speculative storytelling.
Eating is a symbolic and magical act, a transformation, a covenant, a ritual, a comfort, a necessity.
Food is often integral to the magic, the meetings, the processes of fantastic fiction: from myth and legend to high fantasy, from hard-science-fiction to post-modern magic realism. And whether in Hansel and Gretel or Soylent Green, the myth of Persephone or 2001, Alice in Wonderland or Alien, food-themed stories offer a mixed menu of good and evil, light and darkness.
In this versatile collection, Candas Jane Dorsey and Ursula Pflug – both award-winning senior writers of literary speculation – have gathered a delectable buffet of genre writing that explores our attraction to the candy coating and our fascination with the poisoned apple.
Paired with each story is a recipe, real or fantastical, to consume with pleasure… or at your own risk!
