There’s a series?!?! I remember buying one book that was so cool with a map, etc (they almost never do stuff like that anymore) but I lost it years ago. I hardly remember it. A girl falls? into another world, learns the language, falls? out again.
The Pilgrims of Parthen by Kristopher Reisz ★★★★★
“Users dreamed of a city — always the same city — an alien ruin...”
This story drew me in like nothing else. It reminded me of time we were all obsessed with Myst. Parthen is the clarion call to the argonaut inside us. I could see it happening!
And dear god, the end...
I was not expecting all the stories to be about fungi people with no backstory.
Last Bloom on the Sage by Andrew Penn Romine ★★½☆☆ “Nightmares were mighty difficult to break; most who tried got eaten.”
I’m a fan of weird westerns but I didn’t quite like this one, even with the bits of Lovecraft thrown in. There was not enough plot or world building.
Looks like Netflix is rewriting some Arthurian legends: https://youtu.be/6XelS6fQbuoAgain, lol, could be good. I thought I saw some Vikings in there.
That looks very very good. Just another reason to get CBS on demand.
I don’t know. I hope it’s watchable, I had high hopes for The Order but the MC teen cast was not watchable. Too bad, they had some great secondary cast.
His Sweet Truffle of a Girl by Camille Alexa ★★★☆☆ Sad, but fascinating, story of the very first, doomed, biological submarine. Red Cap October, Red Cap October, do you read me?
Coming to Netflix, Warrior Nun: https://youtu.be/An0bZpuhiBEIt could be good, and I’m not a superteens fan.
Oh yes!
Audible is having another 2 for 1 sale. I picked up The Hunt for the Red October and 1Q84.
The White Hands by Lavie Tidhar ★★★☆☆
Writing prompt challenge: write fifty words or less on each fungi. I don’t count this as a story, there is not enough meat. But some of those bites were tasty.
Hyphae by John Langan ★★★☆☆
“James pulled to the side of the road, shifted the car into Park and screamed until the cords on his neck stood out...”
Creepy story about a son checking up on his estranged hermetic father. What’s left of him in the tunnel under the basement sends the son away screaming...
But Canavan is right, it was just ok.
Good to see you here Canavan!
I did too. I can imagine it coming up as a monthly selection.
Miscreations: Gods, Monstrosities & Other Horrors on sale for 99¢: https://www.amazon.com/Miscreations-G...
Sounds like a plan, lol. I can’t tell you they get better than that story.
I read the Introduction too. More closely related to animals than plants, but fundamentally different from both, the members of the kingdom fungi are a diverse and mysterious lot.
I found that a little freaky, lol.
There is still a whole day, lol. I ran off the new months email a day early. It was late, I couldn’t sleep so I started doing errands and I got confused on the date, lol.
