SPFBO Review: Dogged by Michael R. Fletcher
This is Esme and I's finalist in this year's SPFBO! I have historically bounced off a lot of Fletcher's work, not because it isn't well written or enjoyable, but because it is often super, super dark.

Having read the adventures of Grimnir up to this point, it was obvious that I would continue on with the conclusion so when this was offered, I gladly accepted.
