P.S. I would still like for people to read THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST and then look at themselves and be like "I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need to be the protagonist of a fairytale horror story in a magical forest" us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Please don't go. Slide from my collection, 1974.

I have just started reading this thanks to this post and oooh this is great👀

OK SO I wrote the (much much more than) 15 bsky posts on my Dreamwidth blog, you can read it here and tell me I'm right: hauntedtoasters.dreamwidth.org/1187.html

Thank you for inspiring me to write an entire blog post of my completely rambly opinions! you can read it here: hauntedtoasters.dreamwidth.org/1187.html

I was very, very impressed by it. I didn't have a great time with the other Harrow I read (The Once And Future Witches) but this is on another level entirely. I hope you'll find it enjoyable once you get to it!

Uncanny needs your support! Uncanny is free to read, charges no submission fee, and pays a professional rate. This makes it one of the most accessible, affordable, and author friendly markets in the biz! But reading and editing takes time, care and attention! It only happens because of you!

(and it's not even actually arthurian! Just has that kind of vibe/inspiration)

The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow is one of the few books in conversation with Arthurian myth that I've read that actually had interesting things to say, not just about medieval literature, but also about myth-making and how these narratives pass through the centuries, both shaping and being shaped.

but yeah "fairy tale retellings but with a feminist vibe!" is such a recipe for an incredibly mid book :|

I love little details like that. All the clothes in Sable are great too, I kind of want to knit a jumper like Teddy's now!

Just gonna stare pointedly at The Wife of Bath's Tale for a real long time

I think I've mentioned it before but it bears repeating: Sable is really great! You should read it! (Mind the content warnings though - they're in the About section!) You can start here: sablecomic.com/comic/98/

This is incredibly specific but I love the period-accurate cleaning implements haha

Yeah I think Scotland and Ireland have that in common, a specific brand of rural homicidal drivers who just know the country lanes really well and go really fast on them which is all well and good until a less-confident tourist driver comes up the other way on a one-lane road 😬

Yes, that's a very good way of putting it! Fundamentally, you kind of have to trust/hope that your book will find its audience, and disregard people for whom it very clearly isn't
