POCKET APOCALYPSE open thread!

To celebrate the release of Pocket Apocalypse, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I'm seeing, some of you have had time, and I'd really, really rather book discussion (sometimes including spoilers) didn't crop up on other posts.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

I enjoyed the hell out of this. It was fun to debate the ethics of dealing with lycanthropy and whether or not someone could be saved from it and whether or not they automatically go evil. Very intriguing. Always love it when a book gives me something to think about.

Poor mouse.

Two things I'm wondering about:
(a) Where did the idea of Aeslin mice come from? And the name?
(b) "Thirty-Six Society"-- where did that name come from? 36 what?

The Thirty-Sixers are named after the year 1936- when the last known thylacine died.

Now they are cryptids in Australia.

They just happened. As did the name.
