Guest Post: Doreen Perrine, Haunting Muses

by
Haunting Muses

Doreen Perrine is stopping by with a guest post in support of the new FF anthology Haunting Muses: It’s no coincidence that this anthology was released in the nick of time for Halloween. Yet when we think about ghosts, lesbian or otherwise, they surpass or defy time, and defiance is a very much a lesbian thing. My nephew is a research scientist, and we’ve had an ongoing debate since he was a kid: he believes in aliens but not ghosts. I believe that we ought to suspend our disbelief enough to entertain the possibility of both. And aliens and ghosts … Read more

by

Author’s Note: I had planned to run a review in this monthly space, but recent events seemed to call for something else. The review is saved for next time, and Happy Thanksgiving!—-Jeff.                                         Armageddon or Not by Jeff Baker             I’ve been a political observer for much of my adult life, and actually a performing political satirist (think Mark Russell) for a little of it and so I think I can speak with a little authority on the recent and not entirely unjustified anxiety over the results of the recent election. We don’t know yet what the world will be … Read more
