Within the novel’s opening pages, his son splits open his neighbor’s head with a book, and this incident - demonstrating one of literature’s least appreciated uses - is a harbinger of the violence to come. But his benedictions can’t save the city, and the family’s arrival christens one of its darkest chapters.

The cathedral at the heart of Marcial Gala’s new novel does precisely none of these things, but, then again, virtue was never really on the mind of its visionary founder. Mathew explains that in Gala’s novel, “ Cienfuegos rivals Havana in terms of intrigue.”Ī “virtuous” structure, according to John Ruskin, must “act well, and do the things it was intended to do in the best way.” It must “speak well, and say the things it was intended to say in the best words.” It must also “look well, and please us by its presence, whatever it has to do or say.” This novel received the Alejo Carpentier Award for Novel in 2012.

And where do you draw your inspiration from in general? It stands on its own with a complete plot, but I’d love to expand it into a series if the publisher permits. The Outside is a space opera with AI Gods, cyborg angels, cosmic horrors, multiple factions of compelling villains, and an autistic scientist named Yasira who’s caught in the middle of it all. It looks really interesting: How would you introduce it to a potential reader? Is it part of a series? Your debut novel, The Outside, was published this month by Angry Robot. When I’m not writing or working, I like music, LARP, and autism self-advocacy. I recently received my PhD from the University of Waterloo and now I’m adjuncting while living with a happy polyamorous family and a very good black cat. I’ve been publishing short stories since 2010, and I’ve been longlisted for the BSFA and Rhysling awards for my short work. I’m an autistic computer scientist from Canada and a speculative fiction author. Let’s start with an introduction: Who is Ada Hoffmann? She’s sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she’s a born protector. Gwen-half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass-does neither. Too bad cats don’t believe in forever.Īt nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming and running away. He actually watches out for her, protects her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family manages not to morbidly embarrass her. Yet despite his menacing ursine growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan “Lock” MacRyrie cute and really sweet. But what is she supposed to do with a nice, suburban Jersey boy in the form of a massive Grizzly shifter? Especially one with a rather unhealthy fetish for honey, moose, and…uh…well, her. Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O’Neill has learned how to fend for herself. I bought Mexican Gothic almost entirely because it sounds like the house is haunted or something of that vein. I don’t know what it is, but it happened again recently, I saw something similar to Coldthistle House in a summary last month, and I was like YES THANKS. Pair that with the possibility of a scary manor in the middle of the British countryside, and well. I kept feeling drawn to House of Furies purely based on the cover because it just looked spooky as all hell, and I couldn’t get the image of this girl in all white with hands grabbing her from all around out of my mind. Gosh, where do I even start? With the covers, obviously. Thankfully, I remember them with crystal clear clarity because they’re just that good, so let’s get on with the convincing you to read these as soon as possible!Īlso, there are not going to be huge spoilers in this review, but I will talk about some of the plot in the later books, so if you want to go into this completely blind, you’ve been warned! I really wanted to reread them before reviewing, but alas, rereading books is easier said than done these days, and I just didn’t have the time to reread. I read the finale of the trilogy last year for Halloween, and it’s just truly one of my favorite series, horror or otherwise. When I was trying to come up with Halloween posts for this year, reviewing the House of Furies trilogy by Madeleine Roux was the first thing that I thought of. Entangled Life, a New York Times and Sunday Times best-seller, has been translated into 26 languages, and was named a TIME Must-Read Book. As the English biologist Merlin Sheldrake writes in “Entangled Life,” his rich and colorful portrait of fungi, “the more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them.”Ĭopyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. Merlin Sheldrake is a biologist, speaker, and author of Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures. They bind soil particles so they don’t blow apart when water passes by and they seed raindrops. Without decomposing fungi we’d be buried under miles of plant debris, and with them, all sorts of organic compounds may be decomposed, from petroleum to sarin gas. They function as a shadow immune system and procurer of nutrition for plants they are the source of some of the worst plagues of people and animals and crops, and the best medicine we have. They live most everywhere and in most everything, and some can-theoretically-live forever. Fungi are implicated in all aspects of life on Earth. I admit it was a rather mercenary starting point, but the more I learned about fungi and their fruiting bodies, mushrooms, the more fascinated I became. That required some study on why they lived where they lived. When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. Like many people, I got interested in mycology because I wanted to find wild mushrooms, especially morels, which are in season right now. Join us for a mind-bending journey into the hidden universe of fungi. ‘The more we learn about fungi,’ writes Merlin Sheldrake, ‘the less makes sense without them.’ Photo: DESIGN PICS/national geographic |
