Crud. Y’all are killing my book budget. I’ve already bought both of Eugene’s books, the fob bible, and MoJo’s novel since beginning my visits here.

It’s a rueful, but happy situation; I’m not really complaining.

Incidentally, I have major problems with the forward. If I hadn’t already purchased it, that forward would have stopped me from buying the book. A book, I might add, that’s probably the single best short-story collection of any description that I’ve ever read.

You’re not being a nuisance. I just haven’t taken the time to check them out, C.L.

I should add this one to my reading list because I like novellas and I’ve enjoyed some others of Zarahemla’s offerings.

Speaking of novellas (and particularly of serializing them) the stories I’ve been serializing on my site are a series of LDS-interest novellas.

I’m not trying to be a nuisance by mentioning this. If you guys don’t think these stories are Mormon literature (or if you don’t think they’re literature at all ;) ), that’s okay — this is just an FYI since you and Stephen Carver specifically mentioned that you were looking for examples of this genre.

Some of the novellas in my series take place entirely within a Mormon (not apostate) context, portraying the Mormon experience as complex and challenging, not dismissing Mormon ideals as wrong. If you’re curious, you can see my site (linked to my name) where there is info on how to contact me.

Thanks for writing this up, William. I have to agree that Long After Dark is a great work, especially in terms of voice.

By the way, I am trying to put together collections of novellas to publish through Zarahemla (probably three in one book). If there are any running around out there, I’d love to know about them.
