Another original slash offering, this one a series of linked stories about an apparently immortal, time-jumping guy and a number of his lovers through history. And here’s the standard complaint of the fanfic reader: I didn’t get enough emotional (or other) history for these guys before the sex started, so it didn’t move me. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Centuries Ago and Very Fast is a collection of linked stories by Rebecca Ore, author of Gaias Toys, Times Child, Slow Funeral, and other well-received novels. The stories in this collection relate tales from the life of Vel, a gay immortal born in the Paleolithic who jumps time at will. We encounter him hunting mammoths, playing with reindeer tripping on hallucinogenic mushrooms, negotiating each successive wave of invaders to keep his family and its land intact, living as the minor god of a spring, witnessing the hanging of mollies in seventeenth-century London as well as the Stonewall riots in twentieth-century New York City. Vel has had more lovers than he can remember and is sometimes tempted to flirt with death. Centuries Ago and Very Fast offers fascinating, often erotic glimpses of the life of a man who has just about seen it all. No library descriptions found. |
