Some of the characters in “The Women of Whale Rock” appear in the novel FantasyLife. Almost all of the characters from the story appear in Shadows and Selkies, the collection of FantasyLife stories. These stories and the novel, set in Seavy County on the imaginary part of the Oregon Coast, are dark fantasy, filled with all kinds of magical creatures and strange Gothic happenings.
These are, perhaps, the purest stories of the dark and stormy Oregon Coast—and you can get them all in the Seavy County Kickstarter that runs until Monday night. For $18, you will get three novels, including FantasyLife. Then you can choose the 4 collections reward to get the remaining FantasyLife stories. You’ll also get the stories and workshops from the stretch goals that we’ve hit.
Here’s what the critics said about the novel, FantasyLife:
“A family tragedy brings Lyssa Buckingham back to Seavy County, Oregon, a place of mysteries and mysterious goings-on that will remind the reader of Twin Peaks by way of The X-Files. So begins the powerhouse family saga/supernatural thriller, Fantasy Life, by the acclaimed writer Kristine Kathryn Rusch.” —Wigglefish.com
“Welcome to a world brimming with mermaids, sirens, selkies and all the fantastical creatures one can imagine. Fantasy Life by Kristine Kathryn Rusch is not only a richly woven fantasy novel, but also the story of one woman coming to terms with her own destiny.” —Romance Review Today
“Rusch does her usual artful job with this, mixing light contemporary fantasy with suspense and even a tinge of horror.” —Science Fiction Chronicle
