Hestia, presiding over the remains of her scratch box. One of her cult titles is Death to Cardboard.
Autolycus, sacked out on my shoulder. A few nights ago he chased a plastic bottlecap through the apartment at exactly the hour we wanted to be asleep.
I learned tonight that in 1930, John Steinbeck wrote, shelved, but did not destroy an unpublished werewolf novel called Murder at Full Moon. "Its characters include . . . an eccentric amateur sleuth who sets out to solve the crime using techniques based on his obsession with pulp detective fiction." Take my money, please.

The werewolf novel news blew my mind. I read the article thinking "this is an April Fool's joke, right??" at every step even though nothing about it actually suggests that it is, except for everything about it. What an incredible thing to be real. I would LOVE to read it.

They are. I tell Autolycus he has the fur of a chinchilla. Then he wants to know where the rest of the chinchilla is and why he hasn't got it.

It's so much not what I would have expected from early Steinbeck, it delights me all the more. There weren't even that many werewolf novels in 1930! I want to read this one just to find out what his take was! Even if it turns out not to be supernatural. Even if it turns out not to be all that good. Although I see no reason for it not to be a good pulp werewolf novel; that's a whole lot of good things in one.
