There are so many subtle hat tips to so many different SFF classics. I mean.<\/p>\n

For a car that was older than my mother, it had a pretty decent stereo on which Lilly played Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits<\/em> but only, she explained, because her sister had borrowed her iPod and hadn\u2019t given it back and Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits<\/em> was the only CD in the stereo. Maybe the sheep liked it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But mostly I just adore Peter.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the moon effects magic, why?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m working on several theories,\u201d I said. \u201cBut I\u2019m currently favoring the hypothesis that the moon has a seemingly arbitrary effect on magic because it likes to piss me off.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a theory with a high degree of applicability to other spheres of life,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We trooped off behind her into waist high bracken, down something that was not so much a path as a statistical variation in the density of the undergrowth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
