    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

LSD on Campus

DateWednesday, June 22, 2011 at 09:15AM

Well, being that the only comment I got on my Change post was a spam (hey, anyone wanna buy a watch?), it might be that the change, or shifting of woofreakinhoo will garner any notice. If a blog dies in the forest, well, you know the rest.

But no worries - I am deep into revising my new novel, and loving it. It is one of those times where the adage, "write what you know" changes to "write what you want to know" - recent craft books lean toward the latter much more than the former.

And what do I want to know? Well, the history of LSD of course. There is a fascinating history to this drug, one with great characters, intrigue and conspiracy. Sounds like a novel idea - um, yep.

THe photo above is a great book my son found me (pays to have kids working in used bookstores). Written in 1966, the year LSD became illegal in the U.S., it is a remarkably measured look at the history, usage, and science behind LSD. It is full of quotes from Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley and Dr. Humphrey Osmond.

Keeping this under wraps, but the hope is the manuscript is ready for September.
