I listened to the audiobook edition of Under the Stairs, and I have to say that these stories feel even more unsettling in audio than they might on the page.

Sebastian Wilson is an aspiring actor whose latest “role” leads him into the lives of a wonderfully eclectic group of people. What I found especially interesting is that the male lead is a catalyst rather than the center of everyone else’s story. Without even realizing it, Wilson becomes exactly what several people need at pivotal moments in their lives, even as he struggles to accept himself for who he really is.

Science fiction is often at its most satisfying when it combines imaginative ideas with believable human stakes, and Andrea Goyan’s The Catalyst does exactly that. The novel balances scientific intrigue with questions about responsibility, identity, and the unintended consequences of discovery, creating a story that’s as engaging intellectually as it is entertaining.

I hope your skin isn’t bothering you as much now, Melissa. Having had poison ivy a bunch of times and general allergies to just about everything to boot, I’m well aware of how miserable itchy skin can be.
You might think about buying a pair or two of fleece socks. They’re heavenly!
I was thinking of my wearing my husband’s socks too because he will be gone for 2 weeks and I will cuddle in front of the tv with my blanket!
Here via Michele’s, have a happy day :)
Yes. Those are perfect!
Thanks for the Attaboy over at Thumper’s blog, Melissa.
life’s little offshoots are enjoyable aren’t they?
Happiness is, I think, having a woman that will wear your socks when you’re away and will hug you when you come back.
