Dr. Abbey will see you now.

seanan_mcguireJust a quick reminder that tomorrow will mark the release of "Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus," a new Newsflesh novella focusing on the lab, life, and times of Dr. Shannon Abbey. The novella will be available through the Orbit Short Fiction Program, as well as through a friendly e-book retailer near you.
After release, when some of you have finished the text in fifteen minutes, this will serve as your discussion post. (So basically, starting tomorrow, there will probably be spoilers here.)
Newsflesh!

Date: 2015-07-15 12:44 am (UTC)My heart broke when I realized where the Fox had come from, and it broke all over again when I read this.
I hope she has found whatever peace she can with Dr. Abbey.

From:Yay! Let's go buy "Indexing: Season Two," also!
Date: 2015-07-15 02:06 am (UTC)Also, as long as people may be heading to Amazon to buy stories, preorders are available for Indexing: Reflections (Kindle Serials) (Indexing Series Book 2). I've got my copy ordered for my Kindle app and will be automatically getting it on August 11. For $1.99, that's a great deal on a gift that keeps on giving every two weeks... (I didn't want to take chances on forgetting to read it as soon as possible).
I hope this does not constitute thread hijacking (derailling? tangenting?), but hey, as long we're shopping for short stories by you online....

Love love love. I want to devour it again, even though I should be building syllabuses for the fall.

Also, Barney. Heheheeee!

Date: 2015-07-17 02:29 am (UTC)Hard to read either of these and not think of my two, though. Makes me want to hide them away from the world, but that doesn't work in the Newsflesh world any better than in ours, I don't think. Even if there are stronger reasons to try it.
I'll just be over here going through tissues like whoah.

Date: 2015-07-18 11:16 pm (UTC)I kind of want to see Dr. Abbey interact with Dr. Shanti Cale. Although I shudder to think of a universe in which BOTH of their varieties of mad science are necessary. :-)

Date: 2015-07-20 03:17 pm (UTC)An excellent story. I love Dr. Abbey, I love Joe, and I even (kinda, sorta) love the octopus.

Date: 2015-07-20 05:48 pm (UTC)Finally finished this book this morning. I loved it. My poor memory means I couldn't remember if we'd known the Elaine/Foxy connection from THE DAY THE DEAD CAME TO SHOW AND TELL, but it certainly caught me as a gut wrenching and amazing twist on this read. I loved the way the drugs were written, I was so relieved Joe made it through, I enjoyed Not!Daisy, and I adooooooooooooored Barney and would love to see him again. Also was so pleased to check in on Alaric and Maggie!
Thanks for another fantastic book.
