City of Weird
City of Weird: 30 Otherworldly Portland Tales | Gigi Little
15 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
"City of Weird" conjures what we fear: death, darkness, ghosts. Hungry sea monsters and alien slime molds. Blood drinkers and game show hosts. Set in Portland, Oregon, these thirty stories blend imagination, literary writing, and pop culture into a cohesive weirdness that honors the city s personality, its bookstores and bridges and solo volcano, as well as the tradition of sci-fi pulp magazines. Including such authors as Rene Denfeld, Justin Hocking, Leni Zumas, and Kevin Sampsell, editor Gigi Little has curated a collection that is quirky, chilling, often profoundand always perfectly weird.

The party was fun and got this guy in the white elephant. I did have The Sheepfarmer's Daughter which sounded great, but it got stolen and so I grabbed this guy and I'm pretty happy about it! All the stories are set in Portland and the gal that brought it really liked it. My mom got Night Circus, which you know I'm going to read too lol

rockpools That does look fun! 5y
MaGoose Looks interesting. 5y

Writer, musician, and sometime Carebear Kevin Meyer reads from his short story "Out of Order," about a video game the government is using as a mind control experiment. Just one of the many weird stories in this new collection I can't wait to read!
