    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

Slick + Nixon

DateWednesday, April 4, 2012 at 05:13PM

 

 As I bounce around the net looking for Nixon stories, I am not sure which one I find more strangely amusing - the publication of his love letters to his wife (um, why?), or Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane trying to slip him some LSD at a tea party at the White House.

The second story reminds me of what I asked when Colbert went to the White House Correspondents Dinner - um, who invited this guy?

Grace always comes off as kind of trippy, and to be honest, not all that bright in interviews. Some bloggers have thought about what might have happened if Tricky Dick would have taken a trip - might have given him a whole other view on Vietnam. Or really released his poetic side. Would we be enjoying the collected love poems of Richard Milhouse (a much more poetic name)?

More likely Slick would have ended up in the hoosegow, and the story would have been buried. In that era they were, somewhat, adept at hiding stuff. My guess is Liddy probably had taken his share of acid.
