Uncanny Magazine Issue 25: November/December 2018
The Rose MacGregor Drinking and Admiration Society is a 2019 Hugo Awards finalist in the Best Short Story category.
Half a dozen faerie boys, a selkie and a horse are sitting around a fire. They’re trying to figure out why Rose MacGregor didn’t pine for them, instead marrying the blacksmith.
“Are we pining?” asked the green-eyed fae suddenly. “Is this what it’s like when they pine away after us?”
Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy this short story at all.
Once Upon a Nitpick: The spelling of Rose’s surname kept changing throughout the story. Sometimes it was MacGregor and other times it was McGregor. This has no bearing on my star rating but it really bugged me.
