Tango, The Wild Dream
Jill MinorT. Kingfisher, nom de plume of Ursula Vernon @ursulav , can take ordinary living things and make them absolutely terrifying by imperceptible degrees over the course of a novel. A HOUSE WITH GOOD BONES is Southern Gothic that chills in a delicious way. Coming March 28 with a Publisher's Weekly Starred Review. #ewgc @ewgc @bookstodon #bookstodon
AlopexAfter reading The Hollow Places by @ursulav you never see pictures of abandoned school buses the same again...

Andrew PlotkinLast night I finished _Summer in Orcus_ (T. Kingfisher), which is a great kids' adventure. I know I am years late to this party! But it's really good. Whimsical, sometimes disturbing, never nasty.
It sits in a corner of YA-portal-fantasy which I remember from my childhood. Summer isn't unexpectedly a wizard or a queen or a prophecied saviour. She makes friends and gets caught up in things. I feel like this sort of story has fallen out of favor (although I'm hardly up on YA these days).
Man, my brain is REALLY not firing on all thrusters today. Got halfway to the grocery store and realized I’d left the dog in the backyard, went back, get to grocery store, discover I don’t have my wallet. Even for me, this is a day.
Kevin Sonney 🐓On this day in 2008 @ursulav took home this weird dude for what was SUPPOSED to be a one-night stand.
The best 15 years of my life (so far) started that night, and I am grateful every day for it. :)
Sigrid EllisOver on Twitter, @ursulav is giving a primer on how selling over a million books results in a basic middle-class income for about nine years.
Here's the numbers.
Nicole RoedThis is fascinating - Tapeworms eaten by Acorn #ants secrete more insulin that seems to aid in the ants #longevity. They want the ants to live as long as possible, to increase their chances of being eaten by a #woodpecker 😳.
