    Ethical Aspects of Animal Husbandry
    by Craig Terlson

    A collection of short stories where the humour runs dark and the slipstream bubbles up.

     

    ...imagine if Raymond Carver called up George Saunders and Joe Lansdale, and they all went drinking with Neil Gaiman.

    “… it's clear that Terlson is way ahead of the curve in terms of crafting an engaging premise that reaches for elevated territory and reinvents enduring archetypes of action and suspense.”  J. Schoenfelder


    "Sometimes brutal, often demanding and always complex, this novel will repay the reader who likes their assumptions challenged and is happy to walk away from a book with minor questions unanswered but the big ones definitely dealt with! It’s likely to satisfy those who enjoy Hammet and/or Philip K Dick and who like their fiction very noir indeed."   Kay Sexton

     

    "I love a novel that you can't put down, and this is one of them."  L. Cihlar

7 Days in

DateMonday, January 7, 2008 at 07:56AM

Well, I see that I am seven days into 2008 and haven't posted a thing this year. I am deep into three projects right now, which are making extra-curricular activities, like blogging, somewhat off the radar, on the back burner, out the back and in the dumpster.

I have a number of stories circulating, and some languishing in various states - hopefully when I get through this slog of work I will be able to finish a few and get back to work on the novel. I am not sure if I will ever be a true, "write every day" sort of writer. For me I like to immerse myself in the craft, working intensely for a number of days, or even weeks. Then when my other life and duties take over I need to set the writing aside to tend to matters at hand. A lot of craft books say that you need to wrtie something everyday, and I think there is some good logic behind that. Yes, there is something to be said about living your life and in a way, gathering stories. I think it was Stephen King that said life was a support system for art, NOT the other way around.

I always take solace in that.
Onward.
