Competitive Fauna A Collection of Short Stories edition by Lela E Buis Literature Fiction eBooks
Author, Lela Buis has compiled an anthology of short stories that are enticing to the speculative, futuristic genre. Each of the six stories is unique, but all carry a common thread, love is entwined in the narrative.She provides interesting, but plausible perspectives on futuristic societies. Her protagonists are all women of strength and character who must overcome their individual obstacles. Another thing they have in common, they are lesbians, all involved in relationships.
One of the shorts, A Study of Competitive Fauna, struck a chord with me. It delves into the possibilities of evolution resulting from climate change. The conclusion of this tale of a scientist pitted against bureaucratic and political interference and bungling was one I wasn’t expecting.
The writing is strong with descriptions that paint the image of the world being lived in and enough backstory so we know the heroine, her antagonist(s) and can feel the tenseness of each scene.
These short stories chronicle same-sex relationships, or as I like to call them, relationships. I particularly like that Buis doesn’t include gratuitous sex. Rather she features the human condition, the need for love. Each love scene is integral to the story, written with tact and tenderness … more suggestive than graphic.
The PDF version I read was well formatted and contained but only a couple of minor typos—an indication that the author took the time to ensure the reader received a quality product.
This anthology is a fine collection of short stories, each a length to be completed in one sitting. If you enjoy science fiction and interesting plot twists, I suggest picking up a copy of Competitive Fauna, A Collection of Short Stories.

Competitive Fauna A Collection of Short Stories edition by Lela E Buis Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Recently I had the opportunity to read two anthologies from Science Fiction author, Lela E. Buis. I don’t usually enjoy anthologies. I typically prefer a deeper exploration of character and the more in-depth experience of story that is typical of novel-length work. But having read— then voraciously read, both anthologies I am left asking myself “Lela, where have you been all my life!” I found the writing to be some of the most crisp, soulful and brilliant writing I’ve had the pleasure to encounter in quite some time.
Storm and Shodow by Lela BuisSouls, from the Storm and Shadows anthology was, I think, my favorite. It’s hard to choose just one when each of them offers so very much. Ascension, was excellent and surprising. It offers some rough sex and an all male society and a surprise ending that left me smiling and inspired, but Souls was brisk—fully alive. Buis’s narrative was brief, illuminating, but it was her dialog that brought the story and carried the story. Souls is the story of a modern day PI, a mystical and mythical haunt and a day at sea with a lovely burdened young man. Don’t ask me for any more. Just go buy the book. I want more of the story… you will too. Together we’ll want Buis to expand it into a novel so we can visit with her characters and ride with them through their lives. It’s really that good.
Competitive Fauna by Lela BuisAs with any anthology, each of the stories serve as brief glimpses into the moments, some key and some of the more prosaic moments in the lives of Buis’s characters. In Enigma Variations, a part of the Competitive Fauna anthology, we meet a government employee dispatched to some far flung world to investigate formal complaints by the employees. She resists offers—a cigar from one interviewee, an expensive beverage from another. She is sensitive to the fact that such offers might be construed as corruption—as a bribe offered and intended to influence her findings. Eventually she is duped—her own very natural and human desire blinding her to the nature of the deceit and the consequences of her lapse are hers to suffer. It is a story steeped in regret. It is a story that remembers that at the core of every great work of science fiction, it is the struggle to be fully human that captivates us.
If you’re looking for a good Science fiction read, you can find that most anywhere. If you’re looking for a great science fiction read, look no further than the works of Lela Buis. The stories from Storm and Shadow, and Competitive Fauna, will inspire and delight you—they are among the great works of science fiction, and they are waiting for you now.
