    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

Back in the freeze

Dos%20Equis3.jpg
After days of wearing short sleeve shirts, shorts and reapplying sunscreen I am back to the reality of minus bazillion temperatures.
Stepping off the plane in Mex was a surreal experience - wait a sec, wasn't I just wearing a parka?
Coming back was even stranger - what do you mean I need mitts?

Sigh. But the sharpness of the weather does make one get down to work (I mean, you don't want to go outside in this, so you might as well work at something.) I've been working on a lot of illustration this past while, writing has taken a back seat for a bit. But it is percolating. Certainly being in a different country has spurred some short story ideas. It makes a lot of sense what Hemingway, and others did, when travelling the world and writing about it. It does shake you out of your surroundings and opens up different vistas.
My vista was on the beach at sundown with a plate of guacamole and a cold Dos Equis in my hand.

Sigh. I look outside and think I might need a hot cocoa.
