    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

Whoever said...

Whoever said that work slows down in the summer probably wasn't an illustrator. In my other life as an illustrator (this blog talks about my writing life, go here if you'd like to see the art life) summer can go only two ways. One: it does slow down and I can putter around playing home handy dude, or hit the highway for a road trip - though, with the price of gas, the frugality of a road trip is no more. Two: I get a big honking job for an educational publisher.Two has happened again. It's a great job, it has a spacey theme, an Art Director I really enjoy working with, it is in comic book style (48 pages of comic art!), and it pays well.

 So it means for me mostly an indoor summer, crank up the CBC and the air conditioner, chain myself to my drawing table and get at it. Now, I know that I will still get out and ride my bike - it's a great way to clear my head. And I still plan on taking in two folk fests, so don't fret alligator tears for me Argentina.

My writing will have to slow down, and that I will miss. But the nice thing is it will all be finished in Sept. and I know that I'll be itching to write.

I've got about seven more minutes of downtime this Sat. morning before I get at it.

So cheers and wish me luck.

(The above whale illustration was from last summer's big project.)
