King Yvorian’s Wager by Darrell Schweitzer ★★★★☆ A self absorbed young king seeks to wagers with the god of death. He over taxes his citizens to build a labyrinth for himself where he can live agelessly separate from the world. Eventually death comes and tells him that so long as he claims to be king death will not touch him. (view spoiler)
Chicken Little by Cory Doctorow ★★★★★ A imaginative tale grounded in reality. Immortal CEOs rule a familiar world in distant god-like ways. They search for novelty, advantage, and Clarity.
The Dowry of the Rag Picker’s Daughter ★★★★☆ Gorgeous little story of the poor ugly girl being gifted with her inner beauty. She and her wizard live happily ever after.
All Cats are Grey ★★★☆☆
“They sighted the Empress riding, her dead-lights gleaming, a ghost ship in night space.”
In a tame early inspiration for Alien, this spooky space salvage story still has some chills.
Always trust your cat, they can see things you cannot.
I liked the dog but the rest was blah. I’d rather watch the old Christopher Reeves vs Gene Hackman. I never watched the Cavil ones, I like him but he didn’t look the part to me.

What do y'all think?"
I had no intention of crying this evening you jerk!
And thank you, that was beautiful.
The Last Hieroglyph by Clark Ashton Smith ★★★½☆ A man and his party adventure and try to deny his dark fate.
The Sorcerer Pharesm by Jack Vance ★★★½☆
An adventurer under a guise runs afoul of an old sorcerer after eating the wrong meal. Cugel is sent back a million years to try and retrieve the strange life form he ate. It was weird one but oddly entertaining.
