Status Updates From Dreams of Distant Shores

Now, Mr. Peter Beagle, what do you mean you consider Something Rich and Strange as Patricia McKillip’s take on Tam Lin????? “Take” singular???? I agree that SR&S has the mark of a Tam Lin story, but I think if there is a definitive McKillip take on Tam Lin, it’s her actual, full-blooded Tam Lin retelling! How do I get Peter Beagle to read Winter Rose, because I’m assuming he hadn’t by 2016.

I think when one is reading a short story collection, they would not expect half of it to actually just be a standalone novel. Now do I count myself as having read both this book and Something Rich and Strange? Or just this one?

I cannot believe I am about to complain about an underwater Snow Queen story, but yeah, this underwater story is dragging on and gasp! I am struggling to finish it (😮)

So I think the overall theme in this book is stories on the edge of fairytales. Where you think there was magic but maybe there wasn't. Patricia McKillio is a master storyteller, but personally I prefer when she commits to the myth and the magic...

Ooooooh, half way through story #3, and there she is, the story teller from the forgotten beasts of eld gently killing me🥺🥺🥺🥺
