★★★ "Fox Red, Life Red, Teeth Like Snow" by Devin Miller
Stumbled upon Beneath Ceaseless Skies' podcast with an audio recording of this short story. With a title like that, it was the first one I chose to listen to. I was not disappointed. The narrator does a great reading of it, pronouncing (Nordic?) characters' names in a way I would've surely butchered if I read it myself. The story reminded me of Hilda, the Netflix animation, possibly because it has trolls and a similar and yet not so similar vibe. Definitely feels like a retelling of The Red Riding Hood. There's a wolf and a moon, and there's a lyricism in that nobody can deny.
★★★★ "February Moon" by Josh Rountree
This short story totally took me by surprise. So so well written. Imagine living in a cabin, being haunted by hungry monsters (wolves?), and having to fend for yourself and your children during a harsh winter. A mesmerizing read that left me wanting to read more of Josh Rountree's work. He's certainly got a way with conveying sensory details. Would highly recommend.

February Moon - Josh Rountree ****
A German woman in Texas struggles to protect her isolated home and children from wolf attacks while enduring the depredations of local men who do not understand the nature of the danger. A cold and grim story told beautifully as the depth of her own understanding is carefully uncovered.
Fox Red, Life Red, Teeth Like Snow - Devin Miller ***
A troll mother carries her changeling child home to her wives, guarded by the moon and followed by a wolf. An atmospheric trip through the Nordic forest at night with a burst of violence but an overall peaceful feeling among the security of family.

Another nice pairing of stories. I got behind on my tracking in this pandemic year, and both are stories I remember the flavor of from six months on.
