3/5. Pair of novellas about the wild man of the wood and the folklorist who moves in next door.
Okay, now I’m taking this personally. I picked these up because I got interested in Tesh, who wrote a book sharing some themes with mine. But I thought I wouldn’t be as into these and we wouldn’t crossover interests here because I’m generally meh on British folklore. And indeed, these are well-written, but not very interesting to me.
But do you know what the second one is about? In part, it’s about the mistakes of a queer near-immortal who is having a really hard time loving a short-lived mortal, and who makes some bad decisions as a result. Do you know what I am currently writing about? Do you?
Content notes: Various kinds of magical mind control.
