Felis Dirus is a trio of dark tales distilled from urban madness and scraped from the underbelly of suburban America. From the Lovecraftian “Mother of Crawly Things” to the chilling title story, Berkeley Hunt’s debut collection of short fiction signals the arrival of a bold new talent.Six-year-old Olympia Octavia Penelope Smith hates her name - all three of them. Of course, finding something else would require an okay by her mom and dad, and that's not something they are likely to support. But nothing can stop her from finding a nickname. So one morning, Olivia sets out to find one. Something short, easy-to-remember, and just right for her. Join Olympia as she visits neighborhood friends in her search for the perfect nickname. This is an "Anytime" story for children because it isn't just for reading at bedtime, but it's great for any time.
