Snake: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I don't tend to enjoy stories of men stalking and murdering women or girls, and this was no different; I hated it. Then things changed.

Trying not to spoil this but ... well. I still don't ever want to read it again, but in this case, the skin folk are not evil; the human is.

suzisteffen If anyone wants to join in, we are reading and discussing the short stories in Skin Folk, by Nalo Hopkinson - which appears to be available in the US and UK on Hoopla! - one each day. We've read ... four? No, five. Next up is “Under Glass.“ 6y

Weaponxgirl I‘m with you on that, when I realised what was happening I felt sick but I loved the way she changed this around and played with certain tropes. 6y

Weaponxgirl Her playing with the snakes POV in that voyeuristic way that I‘ve seen done so many times was brilliant as we actually got to see them scared. With things how they are at the moment I took a great deal of pleasure from their ending I have to say. 6y
Weaponxgirl I also loved the play on a place that has a supernatural entity in it that‘s known about. Often you get a wicker man thing going on and it‘s bad. But it seemed like the residents probably know about them and here they are protecters. Did you have any thoughts on what birds they might be? For some reason I was getting stork vibes off the lady with the sword and kept wondering about the others? They seemed even more godlike to me than in the other 6y

Weaponxgirl I‘m lost due to time zone differences and my night shifts! I will post my next one in my morning. So sorry for being rubbish at this! I will read at least two stories tonight at work and then I‘ll be back on track! 6y
suzisteffen You‘re not rubbish and there is no rush! Do your thing! Re birds, I think you‘re right about the stork, but perhaps they‘re all pigeons otherwise? Hm. 6y
