Status Updates From Full Moon City

Finished Beagle’s “La Lune T’Attend” and it was absolutely beautiful and sad.

Read Frost’s “The Bank Job” and it was pretty sweet!

Finished Yarbro’s “and Bob’s your uncle” and it’s immensely sad.

Read Schweitzer’s Kvetchula’s daughter and it was amusing. It’s probably my least fave of the stories so far but that’s not bad because the book has been so amazing.

Read Watson’s “Weredog of Bucharest” & Goulart’s “I Was A Middle-Aged Werewold”.

Both were absurd and incredibly insightful.

The first into the pettiness between supposed friends and writing colleagues about a review versus extreme overreaction that led to the death of other individuals. The second in revealing the sweetness of a child star who just wants her parents to get along.

Read Cacek’s “The Bitch” and Black’s “The Aarne-Thompson Classification Revue” and both were amazingly good with humor and freedom.

Read Lee’s Sea Warg, Phillip’s Country Mothers’ Sons, and Resnick’s A Most Unusual Greyhound snd they were all wonderful in very disparate ways, Lee & Vigilantiasm, Phillips in grief and longing because of war and forced relocation and children growing up and Resnick for comedic reasons and it was nice to get the comedy after the seriousness of the previous stories

Read Friesner’s “No Children, No Pets” and it is absolutely effing brilliant. Funny, sad, tragic, brutally simplistic all told from the eyes of a six year old.

Read Vaughn’s “Learning the ropes” and it was awesome as always.

Read Tuttle’s “The Truth About Werewolves” and Wolfe’s “Innocent” and while both are from completely different perspectives what does unite them is the first person perspective and the absolute sadness that is revealed about those individuals while also being delusional, distasteful, horrific and painful. Both are brilliantly written
