I have just rattled through these two stories and loved them. All the talk of how disgusting the Pig is... well, I just found it a great comedy.

Mr Lee, I love your anecdotal writing style in these books and in The Minotauress. Which reminds me, I still have not read the Horncracker novella in the back of that book.

I enjoyed these so much that I should retreat to my bedroom to masturbate, in grand style.

John: thanks for the compliments--those books are near and dear to me! As for engaging in self-abuse via such imagery...not saying I have, not saying I haven't...

Later!

Edward Lee

PS--if you liked these books you'll love HEADER 2 and GOING MONSTERING

Well, I just liked the way Melvin always did it "in grand style". Made me chuckle each time I read the line.

I just read the Horncranker and loved that one too.
