In the Mirror
Peggy; O.W. Toad; the Canadian Lioness; our best writer... There has been so much print and ink shared on the life of Margaret Atwood that I feel that this might just be the most pointless thing I have ever posted on Vocal.

Who's the Real Monster?
What if humanity is the real monster of the story? That is the question that is asked in Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. Shesheshen is a shapeshifting monster living in an abandoned manor. She feeds on the villagers of Underlook. While hibernating, three human monster hunters attack her. Shesheshen eats the leader of the group, while his minions run off. To Shesheshen's great dissatisfaction, she is injured in the process by a bolt drenched in rosemary (poisonous to her species). Shesheshen disguises herself as a human to try to sneak into Underlook and feed among unsuspecting victims. However, the monster hunters from before spotted her and caused the villagers to chase her into the night. Shesheshen lost her footing and fell off a cliff. She awakes to find a woman, Homily, taking care of her by offering her food and tending to her wounds. Will Shesheshen resort to killing her newfound savior, or will she learn that humanity might be the greatest monster of all?

The other girl’s dad graciously offered to stay and text us when the girls were finished so we could make our own little escape. We gleefully headed down to the local bookstore for a browse.
