|
| So the central conceit of this book is that it is a mother cat instructing her kittens. This could be great. e.g. “All cat stories start with this statement: "My mother, who was the first cat, told me this...” The meta-conceit is that it is instructi ...more | |

| Why does this book exist? If it was first published in 2026 and not 1998, I would believe this is “ai” slop. Considering its age, this is not a book – it is a mimic. This has the appearance of a cookbook, but it has no audience. Who would both acquir ...more | |

| A fun anthology of essays by writers talking about their favorite horror stories, accompanied by that story. There are a number of classic bangers one would expect to see like “A Warning to the Curious” by M. R. James, “The Colour Out of Space” and “ ...more | |

is on page 127 of 224 of Your Incredible Cat: "...there are a host of tales--an even some research evidence--which suggest that cats are able to see into the realm of spirits." This sentence is not as scientifically rigorous as the author may think it is.

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of the infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.”

“I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse applicability with allegory, but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author.”

“The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.”
