    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

My bedside stack

DateThursday, September 24, 2009 at 09:29AM

I am constantly working on lessening the stack of books on my bedside, and of course like any good book addict, I am constantly adding to it.

Just finished Donald Pollack's Knockemstiff - and still unsure whether I liked it or not.

Working on reading Richard Ford's Rock Springs (yes, again and again). Finished Lansdale's Bad Chili a while back and came across his Mad Dog Summer short story collection (haven't started - though the review I linked to doesn't think much of it.).

Reading through the AMAZING BASS (Best Amercian Short Stories) from 1986, edited by Raymond Carver. Full of brilliance.

And lots of craft books as always - including How Fiction Works by James Wood. There is something beautiful in this book, even the way it fits in your hand. I want to savour it.

Adding to the stack is Barry Hannah's Airships - a recent discovery that I can't wait to dive into. And on their way our a few books for this years bookclub - including Atwood's new one, Year of the Flood.

Someday I will catch up to the stack. But probably not.

Can you will your unread books to family members? To read them I mean.
