I just bought this last night… $20 for 38(!) Gene Wolfe books (that’s *almost* his entire catalogue of work). Plus it’s all to support a great cause!

I absolutely love, love, love this story from @anniezhsun.bsky.social . Check it out if you‘re in the mood for an engaging and emotional (non-horror!) ghost tale.

That just brought up a memory of me getting this book from the library as a kid, which included a “how to become a werewolf” chapter! It seemed too complicated at the time. 😂
Cover for “Werwolves” by Elliott O’Donnell book (1972). Shows an off-white background with an illustration of a snarling London Chaney as the Wolf Man on the front.

Now reading (I’ve been excitedly waiting for this one!):
Cover art for the novel Mazywood by Tananarive Due. The art features color tones of blue and purple, with a path/road designed to look like a film reel, which leads to a cabin surrounded by trees.

This morning, I decided to introduce my books to each other. Foolish move. The chonkier one tried to consume the other. The slimmer one retaliated with a firm crane kick. They have since been disciplined and returned to separate regions of their living quarters.

This is a tough choice! But I’d have to say Peter S. Beagle, for his ability make the fantastic feel so real on an emotional level. Definitely the author I‘d turn to for a comfort read when needed.

Yes, that’s true - and he also did a ton of research online! That said, we ARE planning to read “The Dragon Has Some Complaints” together soon (although I suspect “Man, I’m dead” is not canon and is, in fact, a Parker Original 😂)
