Cat Rambo’s “Events at Fort Plentitude”

Filed Under: Recommended Media, Short Story

Weird Tales Jan/Feb 2008 Issue

I haven’t finished the issue by any means (I read ridiculously little right now.  It’s a combination of the impending move and having too much work to do), but I wanted to recommend this story, “Events at Fort Plenitude.”  The only complaint I have about it was that it wasn’t novella length.  The setting is a weird American West, including native tribes and harsh, starving winters.  It has buffalo! But also demons in the magic, and royalty in the political structure.  It hints at some larger place, one that I would very much like to revisit.  Call me a country rube, but I am a sucker for fantasy obviously set in the Midwest. Also for stories told in the diary format.  Cat’s a fine writer, and I doubt this is anywhere near her best story, just because of how good she writes, but I enjoyed it for the above reasons.  If you like those sorts of things, then you should read it too.

Dragon flies are big enough that I can take some very high magnification shots of their faces. They look so unusual at this scale, but quite beautiful, in my opinion.
