Any Goosle-goss?

Why, yes, just a little. Charles Tan says of The Del Rey Book that: 'It's not lacking attention thanks to the controversy surrounding Margo Lanagan's "The Goosle" (i.e. every review after the controversy must tackle this story in one form or another)'. And mostly they do:

OF Blog calls it 'one of the best short stories I've read this year' as well as 'a powerful, emotional read'.

Count Gore puts it in his Tomb Top Ten and says it's 'a ferociously horrific continuation of a well-known fairy tale that, honestly, freaked me out'. Excellent.

And Ellen—has she no shame? :) —pimps it for a Hugo, along with every other excellent thing she's done this year. Go and vote, people. Show those Nebs voters how to do it.
