Unspeakable

When Tanel's lover takes him to see the teller of naughty stories, he does not expect it to be a neuter, nor for it to challenge him to examine his own preconceptions, his fears... his ability to love. A story of aliens, originally published in Strange Horizons, "Unspeakable" won the Reader's Choice award, was a finalist for a Spectrum award, and was chosen for the Strange Horizons Year's Best anthology.
