Earlier this year, I read Housefire Publishing's Nouns of Assemblage on my lunch at work. It is an amazing collection of short stories written by various authors about various topics. Some of which include deer with fangs, a lawyer floating in the middle of a pond, a choice between whether or not to explore a cave, a warning about the platypus, a culture of bacteria, a skulk of foxes. Each story's title is a noun of assemblage, which is a word used to represent a collection of things, in this case animals.
This is an awsome book, which everyone should pick up since it is showcasing some of the best contemporary writing out there from the minds of xTx, J.A. Tyler, Cameron Pierce, Bradley Sands, etcetera, but I think the creators of this awesome collection missed out on a whole class of mysterious animals, which are rarely seen. I have started working on including these animals so they don't feel left out, sad, and/or awkward.
The first story is a phenomena of plesiosaurs.
Etcetera is actually et cetera. If you're going to be pretentious do it right.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks. I was actually pretending to be pretentious, which is why I wrote it that way. Really makes you think.
