Posted on November 19, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

I sincerely believe that The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories Anthology is the biggest work of love and passion I’ve seen in quite some time. This anthology collects nineteen short stories exploring Chinese science fiction and fantasy. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Blocked by Seanan McGuire

Posted on August 20, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

The short stories within Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series are plentiful, for which I am grateful. Blocked is my most recent read and the first short story to give Antimony Price the lead. This is set following the second novel in the series – so before Antimony even got her own novel. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: What was I meant to do? By Seanan McGuire

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

What was I meant to do? Is another short story written by Seanan McGuire, and it fits in her InCryptid series. It’s set between the events of the first and second novels (Discount Armageddon and Midnight Blue-Light Special), but it doesn’t follow any of the main characters that we’re used to. Continue reading →

Posted on August 6, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Next up on my InCryptid short story binge is Target Practice. Written by Seanan McGuire, this short continues the story of a young Alice Healy. And yes, she is just as stubborn and driven as any other member of her family. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: The Lay of the Land by Seanan McGuire

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series is far from over, and I’m far from getting through all of her short stories! Next up on the list is The Lay of the Land, the first Alice-centric short in this world. Alice is the daughter of Fran and Jonathan Healy and a familiar character to those that have read the main series. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: The Star of New Mexico by Seanan McGuire

Posted on July 23, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Ouch. If you thought the last short (Broken Paper Hearts) hurts, get ready for The Star of New Mexico. This is the fourteenth short in Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid series, and it tells the story of Jonathan and Frances Healy. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Broken Paper Hearts by Seanan McGuire

Posted on July 16, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Broken Paper Hearts is the thirteenth short in Seanan McGuire’s Jon/Fran stories – part of the larger InCryptid series. It should have struck me that this number is an unlucky one long before I picked it up to read. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Snakes and Ladders by Seanan McGuire

Posted on July 9, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Next up in my InCryptid read-through is Snakes and Ladders. Written by Seanan McGuire, this is one of the later Fran/Jon stories in the series – number 12, to be exact. The best part of this story, if you ask me, would have to be Alice and Mary. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Bury Me In Satin by Seanan McGuire

Posted on July 2, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

In Satin is the next short story in my Seanan McGuire binge. Once again, we’re delving back into the world of InCryptid. However, this time around, we’re focused on a very different character. Yes, Fran and the rest are still there…but Mary’s story is finally coming to light. Continue reading →

Short Story Saturday: Oh Pretty Bird by Seanan McGuire

Posted on June 25, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

My binge through Seanan McGuire’s InCryptid short stories continues here with Oh Pretty Bird. We’re still on Jonathan and Frances Healy, and I adore them so much. It’s been refreshing getting to know some of the older Healy/Price members for obvious reasons. Continue reading →
