Meat Cute: The Hedgehog Incident

Summary

From the comedic mind of New York Times best-seller Gail Carriger comes the much requested prequel short story to Soulless. Narrated by Emma Newman. Alexia Tarabotti attends what appears to be a very dull London party, until the new werewolf Alpha turns up, is unconscionably rude to her, and sits on a hedgehog.  Don't miss this charming novelette featuring the first encounter between the Parasolverse's most popular power couple, preternatural Alexia and supernatural Lord Conall Maccon.  Look out for cheeky appearances from much beloved characters, not to mention the strategic application of a certain wicker chicken.  Alexia has been described as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Jane Austen!  A Note on Chronology Set in the spring of 1872, this story occurs just prior to events chronicled in The Parasol Protectorate series (featuring Alexia and Conall) and after those in Defy or Defend.  This is a quick listen at 9,000 words (about 15 printed pages) available in print only as part of the Fan Service omnibus. It is best heard if you are already familiar with Gail Carriger's gaslight universe and comedy of manners style, as it was written specifically with her fans in mind.  By Gail Carriger set in the Parasolverse  The Curious Case of the Werewolf that Wasn’t The Finishing School series  The Delightfully Deadly novellas  The Parasol Protectorate series  The Supernatural Society novellas  The Custard Protocol series  The Claw & Courtship novellas   As G L Carriger  The San Andreas Shifter series  The 5th Gender
