I’m not going in there without a damn dog!

lasrina.bsky.social•2 days ago

There’s a good dog in this one! And nothing bad happens to her!

blackcatcrosses.bsky.social•2 days ago

I refuse to believe she would EVER let anything bad happen to a dog in her stories!

This one, from the blurb, feels like it’s along the lines of “The Tomato Thief” and I am HERE for it.

looking at you, @netgalley.bsky.social. make my dreams come true.

It’s just. Good. Tight story, vivid, streamlined without feeling stripped of detail, smart characters who make only the mistakes a real person would, and two characters who have my absolute favorite kind of relationship, which is, “That’s the worst plan I’ve ever heard. I’m coming with you.”

And there was no That One Part of the kind the ruins, say, deer or school buses for you forever, but there was what is, in context, one of the most bone-chilling lines I’ve ever read.

Thanks for the heads-up. Preordered so fast my thumbs almost broke.

I LOVE Ursula's writing. But I don't do horror.

Do you think I can handle this?

I've avoided her horror this far but this premise is SO interesting!!

I know this isn't a fair question but... help?

lasrina.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is more“oh shit I’ve angered the fae” levels of horror than “What a surprising assortment of severed limbs” or “I’ll never look at a rabbit without distrust ever again.”
