A SUGGESTED READING ORDER FOR TAMSYN MUIR'S SHORT FICTION FOR LOCKED TOMB FANS

1. The House that Made the Sixteen Loops of Time. 5k. It's short, it's the very first thing she published, it's sweet, you can think CamPal thoughts while you read it.

2. The Magician's Apprentice. 4.8k. Let's get into it. Simply one of the best things she's written, has all sorts of echoes for the Locked Tomb and altogether a barn burner. (tw: grooming)

3. Chew. 3.7k. Zombie fiction set in WWII. (tw: sexual assault)

4. Union. 5.5k. I love Union and think it doesn't get enough hype. Deeply, deeply Kiwi and also quite unsettling. A great follow-up to Nona.

5. Princess Floralinda and The Forty Flight Tower. 216 pages. A novella, get it from your library or as an ebook, alternatively, Moira Quirk does a great job with the audiobook. This is a fairy tale satire, as pointed and black-hearted as you can imagine. A main course & a must-read.

6. The Woman in the Hill. 3.9k. I'll be honest, I think this one is skippable, but then you can say you've read them all. Lovecraftian horror, told in an epistolary format between settlers in the New Zealand bush.

7. Undercover. 59 pages. Plop your money down (or find a pirated version), it's worth every penny. A undercover cop risks her life to investigate rumors of a ghoul in a gangster's speakeasy. Blood, devotion, deceit--everything you could want in a TMuir story.

8. The Deepwater Bride (links) Dessert. Available through hoopla, your local library or several ebook anthologies. Teen Hester Blake, from a family of seers, determines that blonde, Converse-clad Rainbow Kipley is destined to be the bride of an uncanny god. 22 pages and it'll change your life.

BONUS: self-published webcomic APOTHECIA, illustrated by Shelby Cragg. Space monsters, teenage girls & corruption, oh my.

the thing about trying to recommend fiction podcasts to someone who isn't familiar with them is that not only are so so many genres represented but also the level of production can fall anywhere from "basically an audiobook" to "major motion picture minus the pictures"

Assuming a situation in which you are walking around outside and a snake is in the path. For the snakes species, go with whatever you would most likely expect to see in your region.

Snakes are generally harmless where I live, so I tend to go straight to grabbing them. This becomes a problem in regions with venomous reptiles. I just want to know how other people react to them.

I wanna do more of these… >:U

Does Maomao x Laios Make no sense what so ever. Yes.

Is it quickly becoming my favorite crack crossover ship that needs more content. Also Yes.

I need someone. Anyone to see what I am cooking. Even as a friendship I am convinced these two would get along in a weird way. I want to watch them interact and study them in a terrarium.

Look me in the eye and tell me that Laios wouldn’t also try poisons with Maomao if they were monster related. Test out antidotes and how those antidotes can be cooked into food. They’d be such Mad Scientist/chefs. I want them to be autistic together and both infodump about their interests while the other listens patiently.

Laios just eating anything Maomao feeds him without question. And Maomao studying the effects to see if a monster heavy diet affects the way her medicines/poisons are metabolized.

Maomao being interest in plant based monsters and dungeon plants to see if they have any medicinal qualities.

Laios learning from Maomao how she works her medicine into teas and dishes and sweets.

Laios thinking her knowledge is so fascinating because she’s actively trying to find healing away from healing magics which is easier.

Maomao thinking Laios is kinda cool for being the very first person to figure out that living armor is a mollusk colony.

Also both of them not really judging each other. Yes It’s weird how passionate Laios gets about monster foods however Maomao did rant to him for like an hour on the delight of slowly dying to foxglove poisoning. She has no right to talk. Yes Laios is deeply concerned about Maomao hurting herself but he also had Kraken parasites from eating raw its meat raw so like. What could he say.

I need someone to hear me and please understand the vision.
