Small beasts. Bad decisions. You already know this isn’t going to end well. But it’ll be fun getting there. One of many creature-filled tales in the Wee Beasties StoryBundle, curated by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
About Beastly Virtues
INHUMAN HEROISM
This collection from critically-acclaimed author Michael Warren Lucas proves that bravery comes in every shape, and not all of it is two-fisted or even two-legged. Maybe it’s orcs learning baseball, or a young boy absorbing wisdom from interdimensional bats. If the only animal in the entire universe looks like a harmless chipmunk, you better ask yourself why, and when a dog’s ghost starts reciting 19th-century French surrealist poetry, you’ll need a whole new kind of bravery.
No matter your wings, paws, or whiskers, you need courage.
But whatever you do, don’t piss off the rats.

Curator's Note
Michael Lucas is probably the only living writer I know who can give Robert Jeschonek a run for his money in the land of skewed perspective. French poetry? Interdimensional bats? Of course. But a collection of Michael’s stories wouldn’t be complete without an orc or two. And a rat. There’s always a rat… – Kristine Kathryn Rusch
