(Whoops, meant to hit Preview and hit Post instead or something, and then couldn't edit.)
I just finished "The Annual Migration of Clouds" a few days ago!
james_nicoll's review had sparked my interest, so I tried it out.
I liked it, but agree that I want more. I want to see Reid's journey and where it takes her.
I have a spoilery question, which maybe I'll post under Rot-13.
I had an interesting reaction in that I felt if you described the setting / plot set up to me, it would sound a lot like something Octavia Butler might have written, but the story/writing itself did not feel like Butler.
Based on your description, I'm not terribly eager to try "These Lifeless Things".
denial of reality is typically for political reasons
Hm. Is that true? Or, even if it is, it seems like these days there is a lot of denial that doesn't feel very political or religious to me, such as anti-vaxers.
It seems plausible to me that people might deny a Lovecraftian invasion and instead just say, we know something terrible happened and we've somehow somewhat recovered, but we don't know the details.
