    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

In da woods

DateMonday, January 26, 2009 at 06:51PM

Or more accurately, amongst the pines. I am in my hidden winter fortress this week (like Superman, but without the big icicles and Marlon Brando's floating head.)

I have brought a stack of books for relaxation and inspiration - so far I have plowed through two of the relaxing ones. I plan on reading, again, Gardner's Art of Fiction. His book is still the best I have read on the art and craft of writing.

Hopefully, it will stir me on to great creations. Either that or it's back to another Lansdale novel (not a bad thing).

Hope you can find a warm fire and a nice view to plunk yourself beside. Sigh... I wonder if you can just get a job  reading books (yeah, they are called editors).

What a lovely place, Craig. Sounds like a wonderful respite. Enjoy!

I'm angling for a warm beach somewhere. Our beach here is covered in snow today...and yesterday...and the day before that...

Hugs,
Fran

hey Fran - great to hear from you. I am headed for a much warmer retreat this week: Mexico. I mean, the snow is all pretty and everything, but so is a Mexican sunset over the Pacific.
