2023 Short Stories Read #30
“Born of Man and Woman” (1950) Richard Matheson. Skipping ahead so I’m prepped for the next episode of Elder Sign podcast w/ @glmcdorman and @bebudda, I read this very short, freaky story about a “kid” kept in a basement. Matheson’s first prof. sale.

I listened to both this and @glmcdorman's @ClaytempleMedia ATOZ podcast episode on Paolo Bacigalupi's Hugo & Nebula award-winning SF novel *The Windup Girl*, which talks some about the similarities with Greene's *The Quiet American*. This made me more interested in reading both!

@TheCromcast Hey, a couple of y'all have talked about John Langan's *The Fisherman* (which I also read and liked). @glmcdorman mentioned that book will get a whole episode next month on @ClaytempleMedia ATOZ podcast! claytemplemedia.com/atoz

Somehow I have raised a three-year-old whose favorite game is pretending to be the eighteenth-century composer Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf.

Recently, I've seen lots of people raving about @Buehlmeister's absolutely terrific novel, BETWEEN TWO FIRES. I loved it, too; it was my fav read of 2022.
So, this seems like a good time to direct you to the AtoZ podcast by @glmcdorman that discusses it: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/s…

Yesterday my three-year-old saw me with the 5e Monster Manual and then wanted to read it with me. This morning when I went into his room to get him up, he didn't even say "good morning," just "go get the Monster Manual." It's going to be an awesome week.

I thought I’d recommend a few of my favourite gothic, witchy & even cosy reads, most of which I read this year (apart from The Once and Future Witches)
I hope it’s helpful to some of you who might be looking for something spooky-ish to read but don’t fancy outright horror. ☺️

At naptime, my nearly three-year-old always has me tell him the story of our last trip to the zoo. But today he wanted to a hear a story about the boo, which is like the zoo except it has monsters instead of animals.

Come hang out with Brandon and me while we discuss Borges's story The Gospel According to Mark. Spoiler: it doesn't go well for the protagonist.
