Scratch | Steve Himmer
5 posts | 3 read | 19 to read
After an aimless life, Martin Blaskett is ready to settle down, unaware of the tension rising in his new town from unknowable forces. When he draws the attention of a shape-shifter from local legend, his world is shaken, and he is led across the hazy border of the feral wilderness with a tempestuous history. Steve Himmer is author of the novels The Bee-Loud Glade and Fram. His stories have appeared in Hobart, Hawk & Handsaw, the Collagist, the Los Angeles Review, and elsewhere. He edits the web journal Necessary Fiction and teaches at Emerson College in Boston.

This cutie is loving chin scratches in front of the fireplace. He‘s all curled up on my lap while I read the backs of all my #ThriftStoreFinds from today for the first time. I never take the time to read the backs in the store. I love to read them all in one go when I get home! It‘s always the cover and spine art that pulls me in and makes me add a book to my cart. ☺️

wanderinglynn Aw, what a cutie! ❤️🐱 6y
That-Bookish-Hiker Aw!!! Sweet cuddles. 6y

"Cat Scratch Fever": when you think you've completed your 2017 #litsyatoz list (or any other bookish challenge), but then see another book posted that you like and have to consult your list to see if it's acceptable to replace

drokka 😂😂😂😂 This is why I chose not to pick any books ahead of time. I'm winging it for precisely the reason you wrote. Titles will likely come up that tug more strongly than what I already have on my shelves. 8y
JacqMac 😂 Or you want to read a book from your list right now, but you don't want to mess up the list before you start. 8y

Owlizabeth Yeah, I'm not writing out a list, I'm flying by the seat of my pants. 8y
jessdean Haha! So true! I finally submitted my list:) 8y
kspenmoll No completed list from me yet- need wiggle room! (edited) 8y
LauraBeth @drokka I pretty much go through life winging it - putting books on a list makes me feel somewhat grounded 😂 like I'm normal or something 8y
LauraBeth @JacqMac YES! That is a problem too 😂 8y
LauraBeth @Owlizabeth I like your philosophy 😀 8y
LauraBeth @jessdean, @kspenmoll I think I'm going to need to make a couple of changes on mine! @BookishMarginalia we can do that, right? 😀 8y
drokka @LauraBeth What is this 'normal' you speak of? 😉 8y

Happy book birthday to Scratch by Steve Himmer!! I'm halfway through and hooked. A forest, a shapeshifter (who is also the narrator), holes full of bones, mysterious disappearances - this book has it all.

BeckyK Love this cover! 8y
OutlandishLit @Beckykearns isnt it great?? 8y
BeckyK @OutlandishLit Yes! On my list now :) 8y
