Dark Matter (effusive praise!)

Julia writes…

Not a question but I did just want to leave this as a comment, I just finished Dark Matter which I picked up from a recommendation somewhere online (possibly a horror tiktok account?) At any rate, I read it all on my back deck today, a sultry summer afternoon, and I remembered all the time I spent in the Arctic for biology fieldwork when I was younger, and how exhilarating and curious and lonely it could be, and I felt it in my chest for Jack, who was in love with Gus and didn't know it, and what a comfort a beloved dog is, because my lazy best beast friend is lying next to me, occasionally barking to let me know about passing neighborhood cats, but not ghosts I'm pretty sure. I couldn't put this one down, thanks so much for writing such a vivid, gripping story, I enjoyed it so much.

Dear Julia, I’m so delighted that you enjoyed Dark Matter – and particularly that it evoked your time spent in the Arctic!  And what an evocative picture you paint of your “lazy best beast” lying beside you.  Thanks for getting in touch.  With very best wishes, Michelle
