Lorre's Cat Café: Janos

This angel survived a fire, only for his owners to toss him to the streets for not being "cute" anymore. He survived as a stray for years, becoming a crafty theif and ruthless fighter. We caught him trying to make off with a scone from our coffee counter. The poor baby still seems startled and confused when humans are kind to him, or when Polo wants to play with him.

Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc was a good nonfiction about how stories are never just stories. Through a mix of memoir and literary analysis, Leduc unpacks how fairytales—both the old versions and the new Disney-fied versions—both reflect and ingrain in us a certain perspective on what disability and disfigurement are, how they should be treated, and what kind of endings they incite.

Leduc parses excellent analysis to argue that disabled people deserve tales outside of the two that fairytales allow: despair and death or the return of able-bodiedness or beauty. I don't always agree with the analysis—some interpretations miss intriguing opportunities, such as with Hans Christian Andersen—but it's still a great breakdown of how these tales influence our idea of what's normal, what a happy life is, and how disability is leveraged too often only as a symbol, which then becomes useless as soon as it's fulfilled its purpose. A great analysis and reflection of disability in fairytale and fantasy.

being clinically deformed is crazy because you'll see a normal person saying something like ahhh im so hideous and then you'll be like what?!? you're so pretty i'm actually almost offended you'd say that

"Berries Under Snow" by William Brock (Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre)

Old Hollywood

This is the story that combines gothic and noir. The tone for the most part is gothic with the author saying that he believes in love and letting you on the fact that he's going to tell a tragic love story. The noir part is the old Hollywood. He's a screenwriter, the bottom of the Hollywood system, in love with a star.

And then things go wrong fast. He has a stroke and has to wear a mask. She gets a skin disease. They end up together because yes, the screenwriter can get with the star as both end up disfigured. Then there's a suicide pact.

I wish I had more to say about this one but again it's one of the stories that feels like a sketch of a story and not a final draft. I feel like this could be expanded into at least a novella or it could be the first chapter of a novel where the main character upon helping his beloved kill herself haunts the backlots.

But it just ends there. The screenwriter is alone.

It looks for parts to complete herself. That means anything.

Maybe including you.

It needs you. It needs your parts.
