Taylor Titmouse: Roger Crenshaw: The Wolves of the West (EBook, 2022) 5 stars

Wild beasts and wilder men roam the deserts of Arizona, and folklorist Roger Crenshaw runs …

On one hand, the story has the perfect length, it's long enough to flesh out the characters and the setting before the sex scene at the end.

Having read a lot of mangas, comics etc. before turning to books-without-pictures again, I'm still used to spending between 30 min and 1 hour in a story, and then moving on to something else. With essays and novels, I sometimes still resent the fact that I have to commit to them for hours, which become days and sometimes weeks. Yes they generally have chapters, but it's not the same. So it's nice to find shorter stories that don't feel too short.

On the other hands, ugh. The characters are lovable and I would like to read more about them, but it would defeat the previous point.
