Horror Bites
My friend Emerian Rich has a new book out. It’s called Horror Bites and she has this to say about it:

| So many people have suggested the Vorkosigan series to me that I finally went back to read the first book. It's fun but not life-changing. In fact, it reads a lot like the best fanfic at times. There are holes in the plot that no one investigates ver ...more | |

The audio cast wasn't as good on this book, but I don't know if that's because the editing was sloppy or the production was rushed. I might not have noticed, except that the first book was so well done. The first-person points of view were also less p ...more |

I'm glad I read this, but I wish I'd read it with a discussion group. It's dated, infuriating, creepy, and fascinating like a train wreck. When Janet from a world where men are gone tempts a 13-year-old lesbian from our world into bed, I was squicked ...more |

| My struggle with the first two books in the series was that they were very slow to start. This book dives straight in and rushes headlong toward its culmination. In fact, I was thinking it might be entirely perfect until the Death At Sea chapter, whi ...more | |

“Curiosity is the single most important attribute with which humans are born. More than a simple desire to discover or know things, curiosity is a powerful tool, like a scalpel or a searchlight. Curiosity changes us. It is also a way to effect change, perhaps even on a global level.”

“For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the autumn people.”
