Shesheshen is a monster who eats people. When monster hunters nearly kill her, she falls into the lap of a woman that she first wants to lay eggs in, then wants to keep alive (though she’s still fine with eating other people). Lots of squishy body parts are involved; the monster’s eye view of human society is funny (as the object of Shesheshen’s affections keeps saying). But they both have to survive the legacy of past abuses. Good if you are ok with body horror and unrepentant murder, at least of the deserving.… (más)

This is a sweet story about an open house for a haunted house that is lonely and desperately wants someone to buy it. There’s a little irony in that the one likely buyer hosts a podcast for skeptics, but mostly it’s a story about holding on to the memories of those you’ve lost. Lovely.

Fantastic. I've been reading Wiswell's stories for years now. Always there is a core of kindness, sympathy for disabilities of all kinds, inclusivity, all that good stuff. But also always there's some sharp commentary you don't even feel until it hits bone. I love that. I get to be entertained, and fall in love, and bare my teeth at the real bad actors we all have to live with. Fantastic.
