mmerriamNorthern Lights: 20 MinnSpec Tales ToC: #18. "The Radiator Burped" by Abra Staffin-Wiebe
Abra Staffin-Wiebe is the real deal. I knew this when I heard her read from a story at a MinnSpec meeting. Not only was it a tight, imaginative, enthralling story, but her reading voice and style were perfect. One of my favorite people to hang around with, some of my most memorable conversation at conventions -- be they about fiction and publishing or not -- have been with Abra in the room taking part.
"The Radiator Burped" is, in a way, the dark mirror of "Kissing Frogs." I haven't been able to decide if this story is horror or dark fantasy, or maybe a slightly twisted love story, but I can say I loved the wry bits of humor and the well-realized characters.
"The Radiator Burped" was originally published online at Strange, Weird, and Wonderful Magazine. October 2009
