Storyhack 2!!!

All right, all right, all right! Storyhack 2 is here - actually the third one so far but who's counting?

My tale this time around is a sword and sorcerous novelette "The Crawlers Beneath Avaris" I was purposefully going for one of those old school pulp sounding titles. It is set in the same world as BRUTAL but is a long way away - how far away, you might ask? Well, good thing I've got a map com Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by David J. West  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“But the cat—the cat represents all vices of human nature. The cat is selfish, greedy, vain; the most a cat will do for its master is allow you to pet it. Not that a cat thinks of man as its master, no sir, it’s the other way around. Why a cat wouldn’t lift a paw in defense of its home and hearth but would likely as not sup on your flesh after the vagabonds killed you and violated your wife and daughter.

I’ve seen too many mousers got to rot soon as they get even a hint of table scraps,” said Porter, with some venom. “Cats, bah!”
David J. West, Scavengers: A Porter Rockwell Adventure

“Iacocca? Outside of Wendover? Next to the damn Utah Tree. It looks more like a silver cigar.” “I’d”
David J. West, At the Highways of Madness: A Comic Journey Through the Dreamlands

“The weed golem swung a colossal fist at Porter and shot its witch-fire tongue as he dodged yet again.”
David J. West, Cold Slither: and other horrors of the weird west
