"I look forward to this book because it always seems to give an intriguing snapshot of the field in the preceding year: where gay speculative fiction was being published, by who—that sort of thing. Additionally, since Berman tends to seek out stories not just from the obvious sources, I frequently find myself encountering new voices through these books. This year’s collection, as Berman notes in his intro, seems to have a connection to bodies of water: plenty of lakes and oceans to be found. I’d also note that it seems to have a second theme: coming of age stories, stories about young men finding themselves and sometimes love." - Brit Mandelo for Tor.com
"Every year editor Steve Berman publishes one special collection after gathering the best of previously published gay speculative fiction stories written by a wide variety of authors. I've loved Berman's collections in past years and Wilde Stories 2013 is no exception. This year's volume, however, is memorable for the different and interesting young adult speculative fiction short stories included. They provide this volume with adventure, a touch of whimsy, and yes, an edge that I really enjoyed." - Impressions of a Reader
