Yes--sorry. I was in novel mode. Are all her stories in Bloodchild?
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know. It's the only story collection of hers that I'm aware of, but I have no idea if she has other stories floating around.

not your mom's socks.
"The Evening, The Morning, and the Night" isn't in Bloodchild. It's in the Best of Women's Fantasy and Science Fiction and a few other anthos. Don't know if it's collected.

Excellent, thank you!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Augh, I want to buy the Sayers, except I don't think I need them all, but then which ones do I choose? It's not like I'm going to get rid of my paper copies, so then it's only for convenience...
I could get Gaudy Night, Have His Carcasse, and Busman's Honeymoon. And Murder Must Advertise. And The Nine Tailors. Oh, shit, and Strong Poison.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Personally, if I needed to drop a couple, I'd skip The Nine Tailors and Have His Carcasse. I did like all the Whimsey novels but those two were my least favorite. The Nine Tailors because I could not get interested in the bell ringing details. "Have His Carcasse" because it is the only one of the series I can't remember a single detail of, so apparently nothing of it whatever stuck.

Have His Carcasse is definitely the weakest of the Peter and Harriet books, but I'm too much of a completist to leave it out, and it has some scenes I really like.
And I'm a musician, so I like the bell ringing, though it's kind of insane.

The bell ringing details were my favorite part!

I ended up getting Strong Poison through the end, and leaving out The Nine Tailors.

I like Nine Tailors for the images of the flooding.
