I had the pleasure of reading an early(ish) version of @kathleenpalm.bsky.social's 3rd Gray book that might not be out for a bit since 2 isn't out yet.

But that might be for the best, because you're not ready for it. I wasn't ready for it 😢😢

THANK YOU @kathleenpalm.bsky.social !!

Kathy Palm @kathleenpalm.bsky.social · Aug 6

The final story…”Damp in the Walls”. That dampness, a symptom of badness lurking in the shadows. I enjoyed all the stories in Six O’ Clock House and Other Strange Tales by @rebeccacuthbert.bsky.social . Strange being the key. I like strange.

First meeting with some Creative Writing faculty friends today--that means the semester is starting soon. And that means book choices and syllabi and lesson plans and...all of it.

Thank you for sharing!

From a Netgalley review of SIX O'CLOCK HOUSE & OTHER STRANGE TALES (****):

"Cuthbert’s writing is excellent and often adopts a unique clipped rhythm that works just right, an expert no-frills prose experience that pushes the reader effortlessly deep into each story."

It was fun and through provoking to answer Daniel's excellent questions about what makes a strange tale and how to make the best use of that particular subgenre of speculative fiction. I will add the interview l!nk in the comments for anyone interested.
