URSA MAJOR by John R. Little (2011 Bad Moon Books / 88 pp / tp)
Little follows a string of fantastic time-travel novellas with a suspense-filled action yarn, this time pitting a man and his girlfriend's 6-year old daughter against an 8-foot tall grizzly bear at an isolated cabin. In classic Little style, we get plenty of great writing jammed into this 70-paged novella, and an ending that'll rip your heart out. But that's all I can say about this short work without giving anything away.
There's also a 10-paged (!) introduction by Gene O'Neill and Gord Rollo that's quite funny, but at $15.00, few outside of the serious collector's market will get to read this.
