"Sundowning" by Joanne Merriam, a different sort of vampire story

"Sundowning" is about getting along in a tough world, so in that way it's universal. That the toughness comes from having to live in a postwar world where the vamps won the war makes it both terrifying and charming. Highly recommended. From Strange Horizons.

Man, if my mom knew how much I'd slacked off on blogging, she'd be upset. If she quite knew what a blog was. But I've been getting a lot of writing done. So there.

  1. You have been referencing your Mom quite a bit on the blog lately. Is she living with you guys now or just on your mind a lot?

  3. Three out of your last seven posts, IIRC. Thought three times might be significant: once a fluke, twice a coincidence, three times a trend? Or not, apparently. :-)

  5. Who are you, Bex? Blogger gives me no information and your linked blogs are kind of opaque. Do I know you or are you a reader from the wild web?

  6. Sorry for the confusion--c'est moi, Becky L. (aka the Beckster, aka Becks, aka Bex...) Yeah, I dunno why Google changed my "handle"--which online experiment of mine it drew that from. And I don't know how to change it back, so, for now: Bex.

  7. Aha, Bex, I thought it might be you. Ok, I've dutifully recorded this fact somewhere where there is a hope of me finding it again.
