This week we’re wrapping up our discussion on MYTHS & FABLES by George Mann, discussing “Gaze of Stone” and how middle-grade fiction might be the perfect format to learn more about Weird Force Sh!t. We end with some general thoughts on the book, as well as a criticism on the lack of representation and negative tropes that these stories reinforce.
