Three generations of Taiwanese American women are haunted by the myths of their homeland in this spellbinding, visceral debut about one family's queer desires, violent impulses, and buried secrets.A variation of firefly which adapted to the intense conditions of the world's infernal core. It mimics sparking embers. These itty bitty diggy dawgs dig through the earth and take focused spelunkers by surprise, causing unwanted distress.

Sub-zero temperatures, blinding snow flurries, and being blasted apart by an icy construct are some of the dangers of blizzards.

Books

The first family consists of the Physiologus plus extracts from the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville. Isidore, living in Spain in the seventh century, explained the true nature of animals by analysing their names. So, a cat is called catus because he catches mice. Isidore's encyclopedic work was not moralised. The sequence of chapters in the first family begins with Leo, Antalops and the animals are not classified. The earliest illustrated example of this group is Oxford Bod., Laud Misc. 247. An additional text, the Aviarium by Hugh of Fouilloy, begins to be used in some versions of this family, notably Oxford Bod. 602 and Douce 167. This book on birds was written after 1152 and excerpts were used in some bestiaries including Aberdeen and Ashmole. Hugh's text contains far more theology than the original Physiologus. Ghouls infested by the Crimson leak vile ichor from their mouths, weakening the defenses of their foes with every bite.
