    Summary

    There is a woman who will live in Ishmael's skin forever, curled up in between ribs seven and eight like a snake basking in the sun. "You are drowning because you are special," she whispers, in a voice that doesn't sound like Ahab's anymore.

    Summary

    Danielle Cain knows there must be something wrong with her. There's no other way to reason why she should find herself, scholarship crowned golden child and successful full-time doctor, stumbling down the gore soaked path she currently finds herself tumbling down in Herbert West's wake.

    Set immediately after the events of Bride of Reanimator. A gender-bent sort of what-if story.

    Summary

    “The other day during the movie,” Hermes begins slowly, “Stone Free was holding my hand. One of her strings wrapped around my wrist and wouldn’t let go. You didn’t notice?”

    “I guess not.” Jolyne picks at her chipped nail polish for a moment. “Was it weird?”

    “I don't know. Not really. It was weird, but not ‘bad’ weird. You get me?”

    “I get you,” Jolyne says, so quietly Hermes nearly misses it.

    --

    Stone Free brings - and holds - Jolyne and Hermes together.

    Summary

    Shrue had built their platform on being a model member of the community, a local, a “family man.” But the more they invested in their work, the further that image seemed to be from the truth, and no number of reiterations to the press that they’d “grown up around the water” could detract from how far downstream the currents had carried them. The prestige of their position and the duties that came with it had spilled out over their world like an oil slick; a glimmering fetid iridescence that choked out all life beneath the surface.

    Of course, this was all assuming they even had a family.

     

    [Yet another character study of my favourite politician, focusing on their complacency, alcoholism and of course their Shruedinger's family.]

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of the best things I’ve read recently, hands down. Fantastic mix of character study, horror, and worldbuilding that fills you with a deep sense of misery. I love Adjudicator Shrue and their dubiously real family
