Kelly Link & Lisa Tuttle online event, Thurs. 5pm

Lisa lives in Scotland, so this is kind of your big chance.

My Death by Lisa Tuttle has been out a week! In her New York Times review, Lauren Elkin (author of Art Monsters) called it “richly ambiguous” and “delicious.” Lisa Kroger wrote a fuller appreciation in the Southwest Review, and there’s an excerpt up at LitHub today. More later, but for now, I want to grab your lapels and shout something at you:

This Thursday, 10/19, 5pm CT, Lisa Tuttle will be in online conversation with Kelly Link in a free, registration-only event I am moderating for BookWoman via Zoom. Register here! Do! These are two of the greatest SF/horror/weird fiction/fairy tale/dark fantasy writers of our time, what are you even doing with your life if you miss it?

Consider your lapels grabbed! I am dusting them off and smoothing them down now. You can send me the dry cleaning bill.

More later, about the Alienated Majesty in-person event, the occultist artist who painted the cover image, the book itself, and that one time when I was haunted by Lisa Tuttle later.

In the meantime, I’ll just say that this slim novella is a modern-day classic of weird fiction, an uncanny feminist fable, and a folk horror gem all wrapped up in one gorgeous, eerie little package, and that it’s available wherever books are sold.
