Good, more Alice and Thomas. Interested to see how this progresses -- oh, there are only 3 shorts. Sigh. I hope their story unfolds more later. Dire pig! ( )

And this is the one with the dire boar! It's perhaps the clearest picture of how Alice's grandparents know Jonathan is being an ass. All the characters are very distinctly themselves here. ( )

92 points/100 (4.75 stars/100).

Alice is rebelling against her father, and nearly gets killed in the process.

After the death of Fran, Jonathan is understandably wary of letting his daughter take up the family business. But Alice has other ideas, and she resents her father's restrictions.

I really liked this one as I happen to like all of the InCryptid short stories. They show the life of this family from the start. I like how seeing on has just completely collapsed under the death of his wife. I like seeing how Alice is raising herself into the woman, the person, she wants to be. ( )

Full review to come! ( )
