Come parlare alle ragazze alle feste

Set in 1970s In-ger-lund, two teenagers - Vic, the confident, handsome ladies’ man, and Enn, his awkward, inexperienced friend and our narrator - go in search of a house party and find one. But is it the right one? And who are all these strange girls? Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba continue the trend of Leggi tutto

I didn't know what to expect from this other than I'd heard it's...different. Different is right, but I'm still not entirely sure how to feel about it.

They cr Leggi tutto

This story is lifted from Gaiman's Fragile Things collection. My view may be a minority report. The story is, itself, a "fragile thing."

Lovely.
