The words "speculative sports fiction" caught my eye and made me go: huh? But that's the genre that covers the anthology edited by Tujunga author Karen A. Romanko. She emails that "Sporty Spec: Games of the Fantastic," published by Raven Electrick Ink, "views sports and games with a speculative twist, in prophesied futures, parallel presents, and imagined pasts."
From tennis matches with Death to football with wizards, from free throws with the Fairy Court to surfing with werewolves, every sport imaginable (and a few unimaginable) exist within this speculative city of games.
More than 40 authors conributed fiction and poetry. They are listed here with the table of contents.
