“It was a town mostly populated with elderly John Wayne fans and their caregivers.”

“All of you losers, the Great Woolly Mammoth said. The undocumented and disabled. The forgotten ones. The left behinds. The last will be first. It's our turn. All of you need to fight together, every which way you can, and then some, and then some more, and even after you do all that, you will probably fail, and then die.”

Thank You for accepting Lark, I am looking forward to your book choices and reviews. :)

I related to your comment about horror being repackaged as something deeper--as if being 'horror' isn't 'something deeper' all on its own--because I just wrote a horror novel about a woman who gives birth to an owl, and people tend to read all kinds of things into it, some of which I have trouble justifying

Happy reading, writing, and everything else..."Majenta, thanks for this sweet message! I've never read THE EVERLASTING STORY OF NORY and now I will--thanks! I see you've read Erich Kästner, too. I do love his children's books and they have a similar sweetness. I'm a big fan of middle grade fiction, more so than YA, because of the sweetness found in so many books in that category. I see you read a William Sleator book--House of Stairs--a while ago. I loved them all. All best to you in the coming week and beyond!
Hello, Lark! Thank you for contacting me! I hope you are keeping as safe and well and possible and will have a great new week. Congratulations on your book! Happy reading, writing, and everything else. I have just recently read Totto-Chan; it was recommended to me by someone else here, and I'm very glad! I got it for my Kindle and was surprised that the story ended at--60% or 70%? and the rest was some of the passages in Japanese. When I realized that, I was very glad of it. The book reminded me of THE EVERLASTING STORY OF NORY by Nicholson Baker, so I recommended it to the person who had recommended TOTTO-CHAN to me, so now I'm re-reading NORY. Have you ever heard of it?Good to meet you, have a good day and all the best for whatever you're working on at the moment. Blessings!
Best wishes from Majenta
