    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

So whattya reading huh?

DateFriday, May 6, 2011 at 10:31AM

Always lots of books on my bedside - currently I am deep into Isabel Allende's Island Beneath the Sea. I am enjoying reading what feels like familiar territory. I used to read a lot of South American fiction, notably Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This book seems placed in that genre, with a bit of Graham Greene thrown in (probably because it reminds me of The Comedians, also set in Haiti).

And then there is the stack I am always trying to get to: Anne Lamott's Plan B - which I am enjoying my wife reading in bed and laughing out loud.

There is the rare and weird Lansdale book - Flaming Zeppelins - where my fave author tackles some steampunk.

I also have a writing craft book on the go (as I always do) - this one: Thanks, But This Isn't For Us, by Jennifer Morrell - I am really liking her style. There is not new information in it, but some good reminders of why books get rejected. I love her subtitle: A sort of compassionate guide to why your writing is being rejected.

The "sort of" eludes to her sense of humour. My work hasn't "all" been rejected - but as a writer, I get more than my share.

So how about you dear woofreakinhoo reader - what have you got on the go? Feel free to share.
