Review
"
Suite Encounters is a fantastic collection, with a range of stories and characters I rarely encounter in an anthology. The theme is tighthotels, which our editor lovingly discusses in her introduction as a kind of erotic tabula rasa. Taking a narrow theme and collecting authors who can spin that theme into such a wide range of stories is a mark of a great editor, and Rachel Kramer Bussel does just that."
