Just recently finished reading #graphicnovel 6 Voyages of Lone Sloane... what a ride! The art is gorgeously intricate. The stories are nonsensically weird. I loved every page.

Zora Neale Hurston is essential reading for US #literature. Did you know she was also an #anthropologist?

#MarchWorldbuilders 25/3: MC + ethical dilemma.
In #TrickstersWake Evelyn Blackbriar is obsessed with understanding the deadly trickster creatures that bend the earth at will, and kill in the wilds outside the city. Why is she so sympathetic to these monsters??

#MarchWorldbuilders 18 Punishment for Sin
In #TrickstersWake the gravest* punishment is to be buried underground, esp. alive (obvs).
In a world where wild creatures bend the earth at will, there's no nightmare worse than being buried.

Currently Reading:
Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. Written by #anthropologist and #author, Hurston was both rejected by anthropologists AND #AfricanAmerican authors and commentators in her time. Yet her work has risen to become essential reading.
