![]() ![]() The chat wrapped with a bunch of us recommending our favourites from Katee’s back catalogue: I say check out the Disney Villains, particularly Learn my Lesson, u/missisabella_r loves Queen Takes Rose in that series, while others raved about Your Dad will Do and various books in her Mafia series ( u/shesthewoooorst recommends Mafia books 2,4 and particularly 5: The Bastard’s Bargain). A few of us were there for a Hades/Persephone retelling while being new to Katee Roberts. Most of us had read one or more of Katee’s other books and were here for her whole wallpaper suspense/urban fantasy thing. The following is a dissection of that in a way I hope doesn’t feel mean-spirited.įirst, here’s how we all came to this buddy read. Neon Gods actually didn’t work for any of us? :(. We held our wrap-up discussion last week. This is a modern retelling of the Hades/Persephone myth as an urban fantasy. ![]() ![]() Hello, Romancelandia!

Here in the station it is in no way different save that the city is busy in its snows. Then the temperature would fall and they would drop away into the white oblivion of the snow. Numbed and forgetful and frost-blackened, the hum of the spring hive still resounded faintly in their sodden tissues. In a precisely similar manner I have seen, on a sunny day in midwinter, a few old brown wasps creep slowly over an abandoned wasp nest in a thicket. It is here that a certain element of the abandoned poor seeks a refuge out of the weather, clinging for a few hours longer to the city that has fathered them. It is, however, always frequented-not so much by genuine travelers as by the dying. It is always in the shadow and overhung by rows of lockers. There is a corner in the waiting room of one of the great Eastern stations where women never sit. The Brown Wasps Loren Eiseley, 1969 “The Brown Wasps” was published in 1971 in Eiseley’s essay collection The Night Country. ![]() |
