New InCryptid short, just for you! "We Both Go Down Together."

Thanks to the efforts of my covers-and-conversion squad (Tara and Will), I have a new InCryptid short available on my website.

So it turns out all that sex at White Otter Lake had some effect after all: Fran is eight months pregnant and Johnny is about to head for Gentling, Maine to help the locals with an undefined problem. Fran never met an undefined problem she didn't want to throw knives at, and Johnny finds himself crossing the continent with a pregnant wife, a colony of talking mice, and a massive ancestral guilt trip—because the residents of Gentling aren't human, and the Covenant of St. George was not kind to them. Mermaids and mysteries abound as this latest adventure gets underway.

You can download "We Both Go Down Together," and earlier free stories, here:

Please download and read locally, for the sake of my server.

This post will serve as the discussion post, if anyone wants to talk about the story once they're done. Thanks again to everyone for reading.

Aeslin mice, mermaids, and laughter through tears. I feel like this story was a love letter written to me on a day that I needed it. Thank you, Seanan. I love you, too.
You are so welcome, sweetheart.

Feel better.
Thank you for the happy ending.
Very welcome.
I'm smiling and sniffling at the same time. Thank you, Seanan.

I hope someday there will be an anthology of all the Incryptid short stories that I can put on my headboard bookshelf, to read whenever I want.
I hope so, too. I'd really love to get to edit them all.
oooh, thankyou so very much for the new story, will download and print it out today!
Very welcome!
Just a note to say how much I have enjoyed these short stories, have totally been my fix when I needed some more Incryptid love which when the stress of working full time and studying for an exam gets a bit much, this will be just the thing to treat myself!
Aw, yay.
Wow, plot twists, and the mice save the day! (But how in Proteus' name do you ever keep track of all your continuity?)
I have a wiki.
Hail the Mice!!
HAIL!
I appreciate the explanation of the Midway story as a part of this one. And I appreciate a just and balanced ending. I can't call it a happy ending, but I do appreciate the good that came of it.
I am glad.
Never have I read a more comprehensive refutation of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth."
Hee.
Hail the arrival if the remarkably noisy priestess!!!! And hail the aeslin mice!!!
Yes.
