Lowland Sea by Suzu Mckee Charnas is quite a grimly satisfying modern riff on Poe's mask of the red death. The Horrid Glory of its Wings by Elizabeth Bear is about a girl and a harpy and manages pathos without sentimentality. Sea Hearts by Margo Lanagan is delicious, rich poetic language and the story of the men who stole the selkies to be their wives, and the boys who loved their mams.

Trash. Can't believe this has been this popular and influential. Dresden is a lecherous buffoon and I'm not convinced that Butcher is much better. And as hardboiled fiction it sucks, the equivalent of a fedora over a Hawaiian shirt.

Daniel commented on Topographia Hibernica by Blindboy Boatclub
I've read stories so far about rescuing an abused donkey to avoid visiting a parent with dementia, a small-time lawyer causing a scene at the dog races, and a young autistic child with a special interest struggling to share it with others.
