    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

Nearing the finish - or this finish

DateSunday, March 4, 2012 at 02:51PM

Finishing a novel - is that even a proper term? There is that cliché about great novels not being finished, but abandoned.

I have "finished" my current novel at least twice - you can see the reason for the quotes there. I am nearing the end of finishing it again. Each time has rewards, and more importantly, excitement. Thanks to a very helpful agent, I re-structured, re-worked and generally re-thunk the way I told this story.

All this re-thunking has led me to what I think (!) is a much better book.

Time will tell. And after I finish it, I plan to move onto a new project. Or at least blog more.

Coming soon - a new finish.
